GAA Tips This Weekend

Hi all

Just some GAA Tips

First of all in the Cork v Tyrone game - Can't see Tyrone losing this for the life of me. To be honest having seen the last two Tyrone games would be very surprised if they didn't win the league - They look fierce hungry after last year's injury debacle, have a very stong panel and seem to have a point to prove. Can see them just shutting Masters down and that's the game. I got odds of 1/2 and to be honest that seemed very generous. BTW I'm from Kerry.

Also I think Dr Crokes have to be value to beat Moorefield in the club semi-final. I got them at 8/13 - I was at the game the last day and in fairness a draw was a fair result. Moorefield did very well to battle back to get the draw and might well have nipped it. However Crokes never seemed to get out of 3rd gear and even still could have had it won at half-time. Also I don't think there is much Moorefield can do to improve their performance whereas there is quite a bit the Crokes can do especially Gooch and Kieran O'Leary in the forwards. Heard the Crokes are changing their full-back to James Cahillane - and he should do better against Moorefield's full-forward. He was on the fringes of the Kerry panel for a while until a horrific leg break and was out for the best part of a year. Also a bigger man and good in the air so should compete better for the high balls that proved so effective for Moorefield the last day. In the interests of full disclosure I should probably point out that I have a cousin on the team. As against that the Crokes would probably only be my second team, when it comes to Killarney derbies, if you know what I mean, so I'm not totally biased.

Following on I think you would have to be mad in the head to bet against Crossmaglen in the final. Assuming Crokes win the semi - I can see Crossmaglen's corner forwards getting a lot of joy out of the Crokes full backs if any sort of decent ball goes into them. Only possible way I can see Crokes winning it is if Gooch has one of his special days and scores two or three goals. Unlikely but possible.

There are some big prices about this weekend, i think all the div 2 B games have the potential of being upsets, but I think that Longford at 6/4 to beat Offaly is probably bet of the weekend, I can't understand the logic behind this price at all. I also think Fermanagh have a decent chance against Kerry at 9/2, Donegal will beat Dublin at 6/5 and Tyrone should account for Cork at 1/2.
hope you're right re Crokes, but i've not been impressed with them thusfar, still you would expect them to come through today.
