Kerry.

Lock the thread.

Anyone know what price Down are for Ulster ?

Despite Tipperary’s good run in the League and Limericks not so good run, I am still very confident that Limerick will contest this years Munster final, possibly against Cork.

I’d fancy Cork to possibly mug Kerry, but there’s no way Limerick will upset Tipp.

You don’t really reckon that.

Cork will be shitting themselves

According to Paddy Power odds Limerick are still favourites @ 10/11.

I wouldn’t be backing them at that price but I still think they will win.

no but said i might as well try and wind you up about it, Clare’s biggest problem this year is that the Kilmurrey Ilbrikane boys have returned to the panel and they are universally hated by the rest of the football lads…

They are a right shower of contrary cunts altogether

Kilmurray Ilbrikane seems to breed em that way alright.

[thedancingbaby]

It’s great to see all ye Munster lads revert back to the GAA !!

I think Kerry will win Munster handy enough. Due to play Cork in Killarney which will be a big factor.

They’ll owe Cork for last year I guess. Cork are a serious outfit now though, better than last year.

Ah you’re probably right, Cork shit themselves in front of the green and gold.

more like polish for their brass necks and the county/Munster medals that they all have*

*De La Salle won the Munster hurling club championship this year. Clonlara didnt even make the final and people wonder why Clare hurling is in the state it is

[Bandage]

I think Kildare have a great chance of winning Leinster this season. I actually expect them to beat Wexford in the quarter final and that makes me sad.

Early days yet KIB, unfortunately we are only a small village and haven;t the pick of three towns like ye, but I reckon we won’t be too far off retaining our title this year, injuries permitting

Dublin at 6/4 to win their fourth Leinster title in a row is the value bet of the year or any other year. More of a certainty than KK to win the hurling all Ireland.

Kildare maybe for a cover bet. With Matty Forde injured they are a certainty to beat Wexford. I think they are around 10/1 so a decent cover bet.
