30-6-17 GAA CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION

MUNSTER FOOTBALL FINAL

CORK V KERRY

MY OPINION

I would be very shocked if Cork won the Munster title as Kerrigan O Neil and Collins will have to be on top form in the forward line and they will have to play as a solid unit defensively as well. Fitsgerald at the back O Donaghue and Walsh in my opinion have got too much class.

I say Kerry by 6

LEINSTER HURLING FINAL

GALWAY V WEXFORD

MY OPINION

O Hanlin Chin and O Connor will have to play out of their skins for Wexford to stand a chance in this match  but I think the game itself is quite finely balanced Burke Cooney and Flynn will be an important part of what Galway can do but I think that this game will be close and just think it will be about who can play better

I say Galway by less than 3

FOOTBALL QUALIFERS

LAOIS V CLAIRE

MY OPINION

O Loughlin O Caroll and Kingston should be big players for Laois as  Brennan Cleary and Malone for Claire can be important but I feel that this could be a very interesting game as Clare have shown in recent seasons that they can do but I do think this will be a step too far

I say Laois by 5

DONEGAL V LONGFORD

MY OPINION

 Donegal need a performance from this week and they need to show that there is nothing that they can’t do and they are potential All Ireland Champions Murphy Magee and Mc Glynn have to put in a performance this week or Longford will play them. Cavanagh Quinn and Brady can make a huge difference for Longford

I think Donegal by 6

MAYO V DERRY

MY OPINION

O Connor Moran and Duncan for Mayo and Lynn Mc Guckin and Hevron can make a difference for Derry but I think that this game will be very close and the game would be difficult to call.

I say Mayo by 2

MEATH V SLIGO

MY OPINION

Rielly O Sullavan and Jones for Meath will make a huge difference but for Sligo it will be Breheny, Hughes and Murphy and I do not think that their will be too much between the sides as it goes both ways.

I think Meath will win by less than 3

HURLING QUALIFIERS

OFFALLY V WATERFORD

MY OPINION

Ryan Kelly and King have to show that they are going to be leaders and Offaly need a lot of them at the moment as they seem to be on a downward spiral. Moran Foran and Roache for Waterford will be able to put in a performance and I would be disappointed if this wasn’t done by half time. I think Offally have to back to square 1

I say Waterford by 12

TIP V WESTMEATH

MY OPINION

Maher O Dwyer and Forde can make a huge difference for tip in this match that they should be disappointed if they loose by less than 10 points. For Westmeath and Clarke O Brian and Doyle can make a huge difference for Westmeath getting scores but I think a loss by less than 6 would be considered a success.

I say Tip by 12

DUBLIN V LAOIS

MY OPINION 

King, Mc Marrow and O Dqwyer will be big factors in this game for Dublin but this game could be a lot closer than people think. As for Laois |Foyle Taylor and Conroy could make a difference but this match could be a closer game than people think

I say Dublin than less than 3

KILKENNY V LIMRICK

MY OPINION 

Reed Deegan and Walsh for Kilkenny are players deserving of top class medals and I think Kilkenny can cruise to a win here but I do think with players like Burns Hayles and Dowling Limrick must think they have a chance but if Kilkenny play fast Hurli8ng they have a chance of winning this match.

I say Kilkenny by 5
