AND THEN THERE were 12.
After a pulsating weekend of Gaelic football action, it was settled that Kerry, Monaghan and Mayo have all been crowned provincial champions along with last weekend’s Leinster victors Dublin.
Next weekend will see the Round 4B games between Cork and Kildare while Fermanagh take on Westmeath.
The Round 4A pairings have also been determined as Donegal take on Galway on the August Bank Holiday weekend and it’ll be Tyrone facing Sligo.
The path towards September has now become clearer and here’s all the potential pairings.

The way Kilkenny treat football in their county is shameful.
We’re talking hurling here!
For christs sake.2pts in a whole game of hurling,thats a KK football score!!Yes Dublin and is mentioned that they had a brilliamt defence but in all fairness that score is just shameful.Thought they could win the all ireland last year and now their getting whipped at the start of the championship.Except in big improvement in further matche(s)
Oh………and well done to the Dubs:-)some preformance!!
Seems a pretty miserable total for sure, but by all accounts the weather was shocking & Dublin keeper made a couple of great saves, as well as Kilkenny hitting 10-11 wides, so it could’ve been a lot closer. It certainly was closer when these teams met at younger age groups.
Well done to Laois.
That Con O’Callaghan lad is one to watch. Think he scored 1-8 for the minor footballers last week too.
Unfortunately that means he’ll likely not hurl senior for Dublin
True, but hopefully he might follow in the footsteps of his older brother Cian!
Is he Cian’s brother, i was wondering. Hopefully he will, heard he was a real threat yesterday.
Well Done to the Laois Minors –Lovely hurling from Lovely Laois !
26 scores is some scoring to be fair, Laois have really sorted out their underage hurling structures, in fact their seniors could cause an upset or two this summer.
