Ryan wants another year

A Sarsfields (1/6 v Maynooth), JTB (1/3 v Leixlip) and Athy (2/7 v St Laurence's) treble this weekend pays even money.

klairondavis

Ellistown 0-12 Ballymore 0-10

Nib

Another relegation dog fight for Ballymore, they were relegated from Senior last year.

The rest of the weekends games:

SFC

Leixlip v Johnstownbridge - I think this game will be a lot closer than some people think. Tommy Moolick will give Leixlip a huge boost, JTB haven't exactly set the world alight this year. Verdict: JTB by 2

Athy v St. Laurence's - There's never much between these two local rivals. However, Larries were playing Division 2 football this year which puts them at a huge disadvantage. Athy will have too much firepower up front. Verdict: Athy by 6

Naas v Carbury - Probably the toughest game of the weekend to call. Naas had a very good league campaign finishing third behind the two Newbridge clubs. Eoin Doyle will probably pick up Eoghan O'Flaherty which will limit his influence hugely. Verdict: Naas by 2

Sarsfields v Maynooth - Hard to see anything other than a comfortable win for The Sash here. Maynooth languished in mid-table in Division 2 while Sarsfields lost out in the Division 1 final. Alan Smith will be missing for The Sash, but that should matter little to the outcome. Verdict: Sarsfields by 12

Celbridge v Moorefield - Perennial underachievers v the champions, game of the weekend. Celbridge have an abundance of county stars but badly lack scoring forwards. Moorefield to grind out a victory, it's won't be pretty viewing though. Verdict: Moorefield by 3

IFC

Rathangan v Kilcock - Rathangan, the underachievers of Intermediate football, seem to be an aging side, they have flattered to deceive at this grade in recent years. Kilcock brought in Jack Sheedy after they were relegated from Division 1. Shane O'Rourke to kick them to victory. Verdict: Kilcock by 5

Nurney v Suncroft - Contrasting fortunes for these two sides in the last few years. Suncroft have been relegated to Division 3 while Nurney finished Division 2 in mid-table. Nurney will be without Mikey Conway through suspension but I still think they will have too much for The Croft. Verdict: Nurney by 4

Two Mile House v Clogherinkoe (round 2 replay) - TMH can count themselves lucky to have a second bite of the cherry, a late Aiden Casey free saved their bacon last time out. I feel Clogherinkoe blew their chance last week. Verdict: TMH by 3

Not as bad as it sounds. A card happy referee. I despair for Gaelic football at times.

Now, I'm off to drink myself into oblivion.

Athy 0-6 Larries 0-6 (Half Time)

Very tight dour encounter.

Larries 0-11 Athy 1-8. A Niall Kelly goal with 5 mins left look to have secured the win but a fantastic point by Karl O'Brien deep into injury time forced the draw

klairondavis

Athy flatter to deceive again. They looked devastating against Sarsfields and then so one dimensional tonight. Paddy Dunne at the edge of the square was a move that worked well during the league but I felt they totally overdid it tonight.

Naas 0-15 Carbury 1-6

Eoin Doyle straight red card in the second half
