Inniskeen vs Carrick

Prediction: Inniskeen
Win Probability: Inniskeen 60% | Carrick 40%
Comment: Carrick are capable of causing problems, but Inniskeen's experience and scoring power should see them through if it's tight entering the final quarter.

Corduff vs Scotstown

Prediction: Scotstown
Win Probability: Scotstown 75% | Corduff 25%
Comment: Scotstown are usually among the strongest sides in the county. Corduff will battle hard, but Scotstown's depth could be the difference.

Truagh vs Magheracloone

Prediction: Magheracloone
Win Probability: Magheracloone 55% | Truagh 45%
Comment: One of the closest games of the weekend. Magheracloone's physicality just gives them a slight edge.

Cremartin vs Clontibret

Prediction: Clontibret
Win Probability: Clontibret 70% | Cremartin 30%
Comment: Clontibret look stronger across the field and should have enough quality to pull away late on.

Aughnamullen vs Donaghmoyne

Prediction: Aughnamullen
Win Probability: Aughnamullen 65% | Donaghmoyne 35%
Comment: Aughnamullen have generally been competitive at this level and should have too much attacking threat.

Clones vs Killanny

Prediction: Clones
Win Probability: Clones 58% | Killanny 42%
Comment: Could go either way. Home advantage and recent form swing me slightly towards Clones.

Doohamlet vs Eiróg

Prediction: Doohamlet
Win Probability: Doohamlet 55% | Eiróg 45%
Comment: Hard to separate these teams. Expect a low-scoring battle with Doohamlet edging it.

Emyvale vs Harps

Prediction: Emyvale
Win Probability: Emyvale 62% | Harps 38%
Comment: Harps are dangerous on their day, but Emyvale have been more consistent and should sneak it.

Truagh vs Blackhill

Prediction: Blackhill
Win Probability: Blackhill 68% | Truagh 32%
Comment: Blackhill's pace and attacking options make them deserved favourites.

Currin vs Drumhowan

Prediction: Currin
Win Probability: Currin 60% | Drumhowan 40%
Comment: Currin tend to be difficult to beat and should have enough to get over the line.

Toome vs Aghabog

Prediction: Aghabog
Win Probability: Aghabog 57% | Toome 43%
Comment: Likely to be very tight. Aghabog's greater scoring threat gives them a narrow advantage.

Scotstown vs Oram

Prediction: Scotstown
Win Probability: Scotstown 72% | Oram 28%
Comment: Oram will be competitive, but Scotstown should control most of the contest.

Rockcorry vs Seans

Prediction: Seans
Win Probability: Seans 65% | Rockcorry 35%
Comment: Seans look the stronger outfit on paper and should have enough quality to progress.

Most Confident Picks
Scotstown over Corduff (75%)
Scotstown over Oram (72%)
Clontibret over Cremartin (70%)
Blackhill over Truagh (68%)
Aughnamullen over Donaghmoyne (65%)

Replying To GAAFAN1234512345:  "Yeah think they have to send in a list of players who cannot play both. Hopefully none of the clubs do a truagh and play illegal players like they did with their juniors this year vs Kileevan but thankfully they got the punishment they deserved as kileevan awarded the points."
Thanks for that.
Have Truagh been docked points?
Still on the website they have 2 and Killeevan none. See Scotstown have been playing boys in Junior championship who played senior league football this year according to published match reports. Surely a C team is the third team. Has this slipped by unnoticed? Again "flexible "rules!

Training must be hard for Niall as he has former county minor star Ronan Boyle marking him and would be a test for any forward so 1.06 is brilliant return especially with the weather these days against the forward but hopefully he can preform better in the next training and get the better of the veteran Boyle.

One rule for scotstown different rules for the rest of us. This is abhorrant and must be stopped immediately. Why do Scotstown have a 2nds team if they have to play Senior men in the 3rds team. Absolute disgrace to the county. Yes Truagh have been docked points I don't know why it does not show up on the website.

If 1 team is punished, they all must be. CB need to act or this could get out of hand very quickly with more and more senior men playing for lesser teams.

Just happened to click in here as the Monaghan thread was near the top of the list when I browsed onto the site. Obviously not familiar myself with the intricacies of what you're talking about, but just to let you know that a player's championship grading is in no way linked to where he might have played in a separate league competition in the same year. All that matters is where he played in championship either last year or this year so far.

Am taking it that Scotstown have three teams, but even if they don't, the following would hold true anyway:
- Somebody who only played for the third team in last year's championship would retain his grading to play for the third team in this year's championship, no matter where he might have played in the League.
- Somebody who played for the second team in last year's championship could be regraded to the third team for this year's, again even if he'd played in the "Senior" division of the League.

If championship grading was linked to appearances in a secondary League competition, that'd be detrimental to the League. Say your first team was due to play a League match but was short a few players. Normally you'd bring up Tommy, Billy, and Jack from the second team to make up the numbers.

But would you do so if those three had no real prospect of playing for the first team when the championship came round, and having used them with the first team in the League would mean they couldn't play for the second team in the championship either?

Probably not. And so your first team would be looking at having to concede a walkover in that League match.
