TAILTEANN CUP
CUP HALF FULL
CAVAN DOWN, 2PM Round 1, Kingspan Breffni
IF the mood takes Cavan, they look the most likely to come through this competition. Down look like a team that wants the season to end.
VERDICT: Cavan
LEITRIM ANRRIM, 2PM
Round 1, Carrick-on-shannon (GAAGO) AN interesting tie and Leitrim will fancy their chances playing at home. Antrim, despite their defections, should still be a cut above them.
VERDICT: Antrim LONGFORD
FERMANAGH, 5.30PM Round 1, Glennon Brothers Pearse Park
AN interesting tie and Leitrim will fancy their chances playing at home. Antrim, despite their defections, should still be a cut above them.
VERDICT: Fermanagh
SLIGO
Round 1, Markievicz Park LONDON have lost their way since making a bright start to the League and Sligo have the better form lines coming into this.
VERDICT: Sligo
LONDON, 6PM CARLOW TIPPERARY, TOMORROW Round 1, Netwatch Cullen Park, 2pm
TIPPERARY should be well capable of challenging strongly for the Tailteann Cup while Carlow have barely raised a gallop all year.
VERDICT: Tipperary
LAOIS WESTMEATH, TOMORROW Round 1, MW Hire O’moore Park, 2pm
AFTER suffering relegation to Division Four and a Championship defeat to Wicklow it’s hard to imagine how Laois’s year could get any worse, but here we are.
VERDICT: Westmeath
OFFALY WICKLOW, TOMORROW Round 1, BNM O’connor Park, 2pm
OFFALY may have overturned their Leinster SFC defeat to Wexford last weekend but did little to suggest they’re going places.
They should have enough for Wicklow it’ll be no surprise if they come up short.
VERDICT: Offaly
