Replying To jamsie:  "It's out of their hands. But , if they beat Athlone then the odds are in their favour. They'll qualify if their in a 3 way tie with Shamrocks and Tyrrellspass."
Yes if C/K beat Athlone, the only result I think that could stop them getting to a quarter is Mullingar beating the Downs and lomans beating Tyrellspass as Tyrellspass have them on the head to head.

Not good seeing a 1st team side not fielding with Ballycomoyle, when was the last time this happened?

The Irish Times reporting that Mark McHugh will be be put forward for ratification at Tuesday night's County Board meeting. Great news if accurate. Some continuity and won't be starting from scratch.

Mark McHugh in. In fairness county board moved fairly quick on this one. Interesting to see his backroom team

You're very lucky to have Mark McHugh. A very astute coach who is obsessive about the game. I was actually hoping he would join Jim's backroom team for next year. I'm sure McCabe tried to take him to Cavan as well.

Replying To iarmhiabu:  "Can we hand the trophy out to The Downs now? St Loman's lose to Shamrocks. Mother of God."
Mother of God… don't get me wrong, Shamrocks were poor against Kinnegad, but look at the amount of key forwards Lomans have lost and the number of debutants they've had this season. And that's without Heslin too, who rescued them with a draw against Athlone. They're clearly a side in transition. Bit harsh on Shamrocks as well, who do have a few quality players and seem to have found a new settled keeper that was superb for them at the weekend.

Any updates on Cian Rainey? A disgrace that took an hour for an ambulance to come from Naas considering Tullamore, and Mullingar in closer proximity to Killucan and an air ambulance service operating out of Athlone barracks.
