Is it too early to take anything from the club league results to date seeing that they are nearly half way through?

Any big surprises in league campaign so far? Stand out players ?
Gowna, Crosserlough and Ramor looking good..Ballinagh have picked up some decent results. Gaels struggling with injuries?? Kinsgcourts position very suprising. Division too looks wide open.

Very poor senior final last night between 2 of the top three teams in the county i know both teams were down a few players but little or no quality football played by either team. Ramor relied on one forward Mcevoy to do all Crosserlough had no one who could break through ramors blanket defence on the forty and set up a score.

Senior

Winner : Crosserlough - Paddy Lynch should be the difference. Hard to see a winner outside of the top 3.

Dark Horse - Mullahoran good young team should build on last year.

Relegation - Laragh

Intermediate

Winner: Cuchullains - impressive in the league and are a team that I think would thrive at senior level if they can get this monkey off their back

Dark Horse - Drumlane - underachiving team that are due a good championship campaign.

Relegation - Drumgoon

Junior

Winner - Munterconnacht - Belturbet the obvious favorites but Munchies will fancy their chances this year. They've been building for a few years and I think getting promotion to division 2 is the confidence boost they need.

Dark Horse - Swanlinbar - From chatting people down the West of the county they reckon Swad are putting everything into this championship with lads likely to go travelling in next few years. Seen them against Drumalee this year and thought they were the best team I seen in division 3.

Some statement by Crosserlough last night

Replying To Loughduff Lad:  "Some statement by Crosserlough last night"
Crosserlough were excellent but it was a walk in the Park (pardon the pun) for them as Castlerahan were atrocious and left themselves wide open. Only thing is Crosserlough had a tough challenge match last week and they were able to empty the bench last night but they'll want to be playing the better teams over the next few weeks.

Predictions for the weekend:
Gaels - will be a tight game, Jordan Morris out with hamstring, missing rest of the championship
Arva - will also be a tight game, Darragh Lovett injured and a few others with knocks
Gowna - will be tight for a while but Ballinagh with get tired
Ballyhaise - Good division 2 league win, Laragh missing a few lads who are abroad
Ramor - Div 1 league winners, although Mullahoran showed a bit of promise in the league

Odd enough weekend all in. Senior wise anyway for first round. Facile enough wins for Crosserlough, Gowna, and Ballyhaise. Laragh look very far off the pace. I would expect Castlerahan and Ballinagh to get better, just tough to get some of the top teams. Kingscourt sneak wins like they do, Gaels maybe not as done as some thought. Arva getting a very good win and lord knows where Killygarry are at despite the players they have. Mullahoran threw away a win vs Ramor but likley still happy with a draw with a lot to work on. So many chances and so many dropped short and wide. Ramor poor overall too though with their own wides but Mullahoran should have won that. Still look a top 3, but maybe a few like Kingscourt, Ballyhaise, Mullahoran, and Arva just behind. Need someone to push and make a breakthrough

Maybe next weekend might spark the Champ up a bit. Few good pairings. Kingscourt and Ballyhaise will be tasty at least, but some not great pairings either

Odd for sure, but some of the refereeing decisions over the weekend have been poor in my opinion.
In the Killygarry match, the tackle on Martin Reilly was a horrible tackle. Two other serious injuries with both Jame's Galligan and Enda Henry breaking their legs.
Mullahoran were very unlucky last night, they were the better team but will rue their missed chances, they really put it up to Ramor and no doubt Mullahoran will be disappointed with 1 point because they really deserved their win, hats off to them though, a lot of work gone in at underage and kudos to their young players last night who really didnt look out of place.

Looking forward again to next weekend, still a lot to play for.

Definitely an odd weekend and especially with the new rules. I can't really talk anyway after my woeful predictions. To be fair I knew there'd be some unusual results but I managed to pick all the wrong ones - to be honest I'd have been more accurate if I'd picked them out of a hat !

The intermediate and junior are looking particularly tight. Laragh are likely going to cause a problem in senior with score difference
