    Laois eventually grind it out, defeating Carlow 0-11 to 0-8. Incredible comeback by Clare, coming from four down on 65 minutes to defeat Tipp by two. The Premier and Waterford are both eliminated, while any two of Cork, Clare or Limerick can qualify for the Munster final.

      Longford game, but limited - Dubs lead 1-8 to 0-4 after 20 minutes, and the underdogs now down to 14 after one of their players clocks Cluxton.

            I'm not sure if he's actually human. He does speak like a robot, after all. A tired robot that has had a hard night on the town.

              No standout ties from the Round 2 Qualifier draw, with Longford appearing to have the best chance of an upset:

              Tipperary vs Mayo
              Offaly vs Clare
              Sligo vs Armagh
              Leitrim vs Louth
              Waterford vs Monaghan
              Cavan vs Down
              Longford vs Kildare
              Carlow vs Tyrone

                A very quiet week at the height of the season, with no Saturday distractions from Group D:

                Football: Galway v Roscommon

                The first provincial decider, with the Rossies perhaps the forgotten champions of 2017. The Hyde will be a favourable factor, but the Tribesmen should prevail, with their 2018 form based on supreme defensive structures.

                Hurling: Limerick vs Clare

                Results effectively render this a semi-final, with Cusack Park sold out. Clare have shown strength of character against Tipp, but the Shannonsiders have been surprisingly consistent, and just get the nod to reach the final.

                Munster SHC: Cork v Waterford

                The Déise have only pride to play for, and with Cork unbeaten to date, they should easily book a Munster final berth.

                  On a lighter note, Charles is now the proud owner of a signed Kerry jersey.

                    The Dermot Connolly saga has finally come to an end with Dublins own Eric Cantona deciding to spend his summer in the USA playing with Boston Donegal

                          Jesus, the waterford goalkeeper nearly scored a goal from over 100 metres out.

                            Munster SFC: Kerry v Cork

                            The Kerry faithful get their first visit to Páirc Uí Chaoimh Nua, as the county pursues its 80th provincial crown. This is the point where I say platitudes like "It's always a tough game in Cork, etc", but a neutral observer would suggest a 3-5 point win for the Kingdom is probable.

                            Ulster SFC: Donegal v Fermanagh

                            Could Rory Gallagher be poised to end the GAA's most famous provincial drought with a win against his former charges? They certainly have the solid defensive structure required for the task, but Donegal's remarkable scoring power in hitting 2-20 against Cavan, and 2-22 versus Down, suggests a comfortable triumph for the Tír Conaill outfit.

                            Leinster SFC: Dublin v Laois

                            From a time within living memory when Meath and Kildare were formidable opponents and All-Ireland contenders, the Leinster Championship now more resembles the Scottish Premiership in terms of competitiveness. For a promoted Division Four side like Laois, victories over Wexford, Westmeath and Carlow have already exceeded expectations, so they will at least hope to avoid Tyrone and Mayo in the final qualifier draw.

                            As for this week's qualifiers, most appear predictable, though the Ulster and Leinster derbies could be toss-ups:

                            Waterford vs Monaghan
                            Cavan vs Down
                            Tipperary vs Mayo
                            Clare vs Offaly
                            Leitrim vs Louth
                            Sligo vs Armagh
                            Longford vs Kildare
                            Carlow vs Tyrone

                              Tipperary surprisingly lead Mayo 1-7 to 0-8 at HT.

                                Sadly, Mayo ultimately prevail by six - 4/4 for the early predictions, with Kildare, as mentioned, probably the biggest threat to perfection.

                                        1-4 to 2-1, Kerry's bipolar nature encapsulated.

                                          Kerry appear to have steadied the ship, 1-8 to 2-1 now.

                                              Ferocious tackling all over the pitch.

                                                Twenty minutes since Cork scored, but Kerry also going through a ragged spell.

                                                  Very harsh black card,what's the betting that someone at ht will say that the GAA needs VAR

                                                    What a bizarre game - Kerry lead by double scores, despite appearing wide open in defence, and Cork haven't scored since the 9th minute. As you say, the ref seems to have gone against the home side with the marginal calls, especially a 45 that wasn't late in the half.
