Senior, Hard call, Edenderry Relegation: Hard call, Rynaghs or Croghan
Inter, Harder Call, out on a limb, Durrow to make the breakthrough, Kilclonfert to go down unless they can beat Doon
Junior A, Birr, or Clonmore

Daingean beaten again the other night will do nothing for their confidence. Training hard and doing fairly well in Div 2 of the league, but face a tricky task against Clara in the next round.

senior; rhode,always hard to see them being bet.
inter; you'd expect ballyfore to make the final after they went so well last year,shannonbridge could be in the running aswell.
junior a; wide open as usual,i'd expect birr to go well,dark horses would be ballycommon,seen them the other night against edenderry and they tore them apart,played a very impressive game of football.

Edenderry at the moment are @ 4/1 to win it out - a good price?

Considering it's essentially a three horse race, you'd have to say it's not bad, but their big issue will be their inability to beat Rhode. Clara may have lost last year's county final heavily, but you'd be fairly confident that they still will go out against Rhode in 2013 and put their best foot forward. You certainly couldn't say that Edenderry have always done that in local derby games against the village for a good while.

I'd still probably punt Rhode at evens if I had to do anything. You'd have to say they're more likely to win it than not.

Might be biased but cant see past Clara. Really cant. Huge determination this year. 5/2 is a huge price in my opinion.

Determination would be a given for any of the better teams, surely?

Also, I'd be of the belief that if Rhode are to be beaten, only Clara can do it - but by no stretch of the imagination is 5/2 value. They'll be 2/1 to beat Rhode alone, so if they're anything bigger than 1/10 in their quarter final and semi final, you'd be better off backing each game individually and rolling up the winnings. Unless of course Rhode get beaten by someone else, but I genuinely believe that only Clara can beat Rhode. Edenderry and Tullamore would fancy their chances of beating Clara in a final, but that's their only chance that I can see.
