Donegal massively impressive and strong panel, ticking loads of boxes.

I quite fancy Galway tomorrow as well. Joyce will go for the throat, they have some really cracking players - Shane Walsh is a wizard. They might miss Comer though.

Always hard to know with Mayo, but impressive against Roscommon, I really fancied Roscommon, some half back line Mayo have.

The conditions tomorrow may be telling, not sure if many have been in Pearse, it’s not far from the sea front in Salthill and the wind howls in, pretty much the coldest place in Ireland to watch a match.

Meath and Kildare also on tomorrow, always worth watching and they always enjoy a cut off each other.

Haven’t been to Galway in years.

Glenlo Abbey the last couple of times then taxi to Salthill

They were simpler times.

Do we live in hope you might be there next year mate?

Don’t think anything has been announced on the league next year.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the split season, Club from the spring/Early summer and County from Early Summer to Winter. The GAA will want bums in seats and the strikes ticking, if they hold of on county until the second half of year, we might get the games with a vaccine roll out.

Galway is class, I was heading there for a long weekend, for the Dubs match this Spring, but the first lockdown was called the week before.

Presume Limerick are favourites, but the weather is going to be awful - getting waterproofs ready for walk with dogs, cover needed head to toe!!

Liked how Tipp reacted in 2nd half, again pacing themselves for the full 70+ minutes.

For me, that is the Carlisle Grounds with a December Easterly coming at you from Siberia!

If you are near Graigue I can understand the hatred!

A Dub in KK since Jan 1990 I am very familiar with Co Carlow and its people. Genuinely like them and the County.

A pity Carlow town hasn't more interesting historical buildings. The story of the " philanthropist " accidentally blowing up the historic castle is a case in point.

I didnt know that one. Hah. Sounds about right though. The town hasnt had much luck over the years in fairness. My mother was from Inistioge so Kilkenny was always preferable day out. Only really went to Laois for a match or a row.
We had our fair share of lashings off Laois over the years. Played in a few of the minor matches and u-21. Always tough games physically.

I think the leagues will commence as normal in February but not expecting any fans at all until the summer months at best.

Roaring hot favorites a chara, i think they are everyone tip to win the whole sha bang this year, though the conditions may level things up, Waterford are showing more then a few signs of life though and ive give them a punchers chance.
