Replying To Sligoman1234: "When 3 teams or more are tied its the results between those teams only that count, so first it'd be the table points earned in those games, then the points difference in those games only. So for example if Tubber, Tour and lets say Molaise were to all be level, Tubber would be higher than Tour no matter if Molaise beat Tubber by 20 points."
Yes I know but let's say for arguments sake that Shamrock Gaels, Coolera Strandhill and Eastern Harps were all to beat one another. In that case, I think it would be harps that would lose by more than a point, hence why I put them in third. However, if they were to beat each other by a point respectively and all finished on six points. Then it goes to overall score difference, correct?

So if all 3 end up on 6pts after 4 rounds, and among the 3 each won 1 and lost 1, they'd still be equal and then it'd be the score difference in only those 3 games involving themselves. If still tied it's the total scores for in those 3 games. If by some chance there are still 2 tied on the scores For after all that, then the head to head in that game decides rank.
Getting the predictions in early for this coming weekend for round 3 where it most of the movement will take place as teams find whether its relegation semi finals or knock out they'll be aiming for.
Senior E Harps v Easkey....Harps will win this with little fuss by maybe 5/6 points. Shamrock Gaels v Curry....Again expecting Gaels to win this by 5/6 also. Marys v Tourlestrane....Pressure on Tourlestrane here and Mary's were found out last week. I'll pluck for Mary's by the narrowest. Tubber v Drumcliffe...I think Drumcliffe should have enough to just shade it.
Intermediate Enniscrone v St Pats....Enniscrone to win by 5/6 Geevagh v Farnans....Farnans to win by 2/3 confining Geevagh to relegation battle. Mullinabreen v Bunninadden...Mullinabreen by 4/5 Castleconnor v Ballymote....Ballymote by 3
Junior St Molaise v Drumcliffe....Molaise St Johns v St Michaels....Pick of the Junior games....Michaels to shade it. Harps v Shamrock Gaels.....Gaels Cloonacool v St Marys.....Cloonacool
A poster asked about details for rounds 4 & 5. In look for the above fixtures I see they are settled, but once again some bizzare venues selected. Owenmore Gaels playing their neighbours Ballymote in Enniscrone being the stand out of them all, but some other strange ones. Castleconnor must be afraid to stray from the seaside this year they've had every game in west sligo and one in Scarden.
Going by the Sligo GAA website St Johns have conceded the U15 A final to Curry. Surely that is not the case and is a mistake by the Sligo GAA admin. A club with the population of St Johns surely have enough players to play the game.

First time chancing predictions
Senior E Harps v Easkey....Easkey struggling big time should be no worries for harps here Shamrock Gaels v Curry....Same as above Curry struggling Shams should win this in a canter Marys v Tourlestrane.... Huge game the experience in the old dogs of Tour to get them over the line here. Tubber v Drumcliffe... Drumcliffe to have enough to grind it out.
Intermediate Enniscrone v St Pats....Enniscrone should win but pats have been a banana skin for them in recent years. Enniscrone by 4 Geevagh v Farnans....Farnans getting bodies back and confidence from beating calry... 5/6 point win Mullinabreen v Bunninadden...This to be very tight and Coolaney to shade it by 2 points Castleconnor v Ballymote....2 young sides similar in profile, the win over bunnies should give castelconnor a boost. I'll go for the men from the west by 1 point.
Junior St Molaise v Drumcliffe....Molaise St Johns v St Michaels....Michaels Harps v Shamrock Gaels.....Harps Cloonacool v St Marys.....Cloonacool
As for venues yes some strange calls, castleconnor lucky enough in that they haven't had to travel far however Scarden is not an acceptable venue for any champ game and both teams should be aggrieved by that call.
Was it a mistake to have no game at all on this weekend with dry pitches, good weather and people mad to be out and about. Should Junior A games have gone ahead and give them a free weekend next week or even stagger the intermediate . Anyway down to the fixtures for next weekend. Gaels will canter past Curry. Harp's will win but I don't think they will win by much because of the lunacy of venues they are playing Easkey in their back garden. Mary's have to beat Tourlestrane to stay in the race for a top 2 spot. That motivation should be enough to see them win against a gutsy, but limited Tourlestrane team. Tubber have a bit of momentum after beating Tourlestrane and winning the Div 2 title while Drumcliffe after a poor league campaign had a great win against Marys. Im going to go against the grain here and go for a surprise Tubber victory. In the intermediate Farnans will beat Geevagh who are hammered by injuries this year. Enniscrone should take Pats but it will be tight. Coolaney should beat the Bunnies and I think that Ballymote will take Castleconnor. Fuel must be very dear in West Sligo as none of the West teams are asked to travel to far to their games. Farnans going to Cloonacool is the furthest any west club is asked to travel.
