rhode v tullamore
rhode will prove that there the best team in the county. niall mac, niall darby and gareth hickey are all on form and will cause alot of trouble for the tullamore defence. cathal daly is a big loss and tullamore will struggle against a powerful rhode midfield and mcconway keane, o grady and dooley need to be on top of there game if the blues are to hav ne chance.
verdict - rhode by 4 - 6 points

shannonbridge v ferbane
an exciting game in prospect both sides really have to win with rhode and tullamore to follow. ferbane are unpredictable and can be good or can be very poor compare clara tubber games last year. Ferbane hav lots of ability going forward and ronan daly, gerry grehan and david lowry have to be at ther best if ferbane are to win this. the bridge are unpredictable aswell but if they can keep the form they showed at the end of last season they will win this game. the ferbane back line is poor and the likes of jason kelly the flannerys and david corbette are sure to cause problems
verdict - shannonbridge by 2 or 3 points
