[quote=“cluaindiuic, post: 831431, member: 258”]Would 2nd half handicap be a good one there?
The goal for Clare would be to get ahead quickly so they can take their stars off and coast home.[/quote]
I would think the opposite is likely to happen. The likes of Kelly, Galvin, Collins et al will be midning themselved and once they are withdrawn early in the second half you can be damn sure the likes of Daire Keane, Mikey O’Neill, Niall Arthur, Enda Boyce etc will break their bollocks when they come on and Antrim will be leg weary and we will cut them open at will
Drom, Loughmore, Clonoulty and Annacarthy to win I think. They all could be close I’d say. I only saw Killenaule once this year in the south final and apart from Bubbles they have a poor enough set of forwards. Loughmore are meant to be missing a few though. I think Drom should have enough for Nenagh. If Nenagh win it will make the championship really open. Clonoulty seem to have recovered from the west final well and are more experienced at knockout stages than Kildangan. Annacarthy have a pretty good team on paper although Borrisoleigh also do to be fair. Don’t have a clue who will win that one but said I’d go with Annacarthy. These games will be very tight and I wouldn’t be surprised if I got all these predictions wrong.
I agree with them all bar Clonoulty. I would not be surprised to see Kildangan win this, a young Annacarthy team caught C/R in the West Final so i think a repeat is on & @ 6/4 worth a punt.
Not great aul marking to be seen but in fairness some great scores from distance. Kerry are after getting a serious run on Kildare there, the Lilywhites will be happy of the break.
Kerry well on top on general play but only level on scoreboard. Kerry leaking too many goals. Still I fancy Daniel Collins and Padraig Boyle to link up to sneak Kerry a goal or two in the second half and make me some coin on Kerry who I backed before hand
The Kerry keeper absolutely pole axed a Kildare forward coming for a 60/40 ball with normal time just up. A penalty at that stage would have put Kildare 4 clear if converted. Horgan is an embarrassment at this stage.
