Speaking of forwards, Westmeath have lost scoring power. 5/6 for relegation from division 2.
They put up 3-16 against Clare in a challenge at the weekend so might not be that badly off
Heslin was far from key to them in latter years

Club hurling finals tomorrow and I cannot really separate both of these sides.
0.5 points on the draw @ 8/1
I like Liam Rushe @ 20/1 for MOTM for his hurling and Irish speaking ability. 0.5 pts.
Ciaran Stacey over 0.5 pts is 4/7. He has scored in all Leinster games & all Ireland semi final.
Plays as a wing forward but gets all over the pitch.
2 points on this doubled up with no red card in EC v Cuala @4/11. Two clean teams imo although EC do foul a nice bit. The double pays 2.12. All pp prices.

I think Stacey could be worth a bet for man of the match. Croke Park will suit him.

I made a few silly bets otherwise this weekend and I think the gambling gods punished me with that soft Peter Harte red card in the 72nd minute.
In fairness you’ve had some run of late
This log has been better than my actual figures where I have done some silly things sporadically.
Still well ahead for the year, moving week now next Saturday with the leagues beginning.

Was waiting for lower level Hurling league match prices to show up.
Roscommon to beat London (Division 3) - 11/2
London haven’t won an opening match since 2013 and Roscommon bate them handy in the opening match last year (albeit a home game for Roscommon last year).
1/8 for London is a disgraceful price.
Also doing Westmeath to beat Laois - 5/6
Just basing that off assuming Westmeath had a better pre-season whereas Laois probably still abbot scattered?

Laois have very little done but they did hammer Down recently in a challenge before being obliterated by Tipp.
I like that Roscommon bet.
Going to stick to my guns with NUIG who are a tasty 13/8 to beat UCC on Wednesday night. I don’t think UCC are any great shakes looking at the team named v UCD who caused them a nice bit of bother.
1.5 points
Have also put an extra 0.5 points on them in the outright markets at 10/1.
UL are still ridiculously short at 1/2.

That’s interesting on Laois beating Down handy - Wouldn’t read a huge amount into it mind you.
Forgot to mention Jack Goulding gone from London too. Massive loss to them - I hear Ger Mellerick’s brother is in with them and apparently decent.
Goulding be a massive loss at that level for his scoring power.
Any one any opinion on the Div 4 football outrights? I was going to go against Limerick but the panel looks better than I thought.
Ucc got 29 points against ucd and loads of talent. Plus couple Sars lads to come back
The Sars lads won’t be fit for much on Wednesday night. Doubt they’ll come straight in as they probably haven’t trained either.
Anyways, we will find out for sure on Wednesday night. It’s a 50/50 game so 13/8 is a good price.
You were a little unlucky with Rushe. He was excellent and could easily have got it.
Probably needed to be a closer game but he bossed the game alright.
