They
think it’s all over
So after
the Munster final victory for Kerry, we now know the winners of this seasons
four provincial championships. Yes I know we have the small matter of playing
three finals but in many people’s eyes they’re dead rubbers and John Mulholland
has taken the unprecedented step and already paid out on Mayo, Donegal and
Dublin to retain their titles for the third year in a row. Many people are
talking about landslide victories in the championship making it a poor season
but just wait until the August bank holiday when the real championship begins
and my moneys on it turning into one of the best ever. Right now and since the
start of the season Mayo is my first choice at 9/2
Well Nowlan Park & Croke Park served up two intriguing battles and the complexion of the hurling championship looks so different from last week. Seven days ago Kilkenny were on the precipus whilst Galway were the favourites at 5/2. Where do Anthony Cunningham’s men go from here? Well the quarter finals of course and I know the mood in the west is quite sombre but Dublin were the battle hardened side with huge momentum going into the match. Kilkenny got caught cold in a Leinster final last year and recovered so don’t lose total faith in the tribesmen, in fact now might be the time to invest in Galway at the inflated odds of 13/2

Bridge to bust the Bookies
One team Mulholland fears winning this weekend is Clarinbridge at 9/4. Could they really eliminate champions St Thomas this weekend? A draw will be enough and lets not forget a few shrewdies backed them outright at 40/1 and 12/1 to top group A. Paul Coen is doubtful with a broken bone. In the other group A match Portumna are unbackable at 1/20 to make light work of Killimordaly. In Group B, we know Ardrahan are already through but can they do their fierce rivals Gort a favour and beat Turloughmore. Betting will be volatile here as we could see a dive but right now Turloughmore are 4/6 to progress. Group C and Group D see two shootouts for the final places in the last eight. First up Castlegar(8/11) meet Kinvara(5/4). I’ve been sweet on Kinvara all year and think they’ll come through tight one. Group D sees Beagh(4/5) and Kiltomer(11/10) clash and this one I’m firmly on the fence. Happy punting.
