THE SERIOUS BUSINESS is around the corner.
Now that the curtain has been drawn on the Allianz Football League campaigns, attention will swiftly turn to the provincial championships.
Roscommon survived a major scare on Sunday evening as they edged past New York in the preliminary round of the Connacht championship.
As we enter May, the fixtures will come thick and fast as counties embark on their journey to Croke Park.
At this early stage of the season, and judging by what you’ve seen over the course of the league campaign, we want to know who you’re tipping to lift the Sam Maguire in September.
Defending champions Dublin have already been installed as favourites but how do you see the summer panning out? Can Kerry come back stronger from last year’s defeat or will Mayo challenge again?
What about Mickey Harte and Tyrone as they come off the back of promotion to Division 1 and a league title? Let us know what you think.

Leitrims year this year we’ve been knocking on the door for the last 100 years.
Agree. Ye just weren’t good enough the other 32.
Well Niall with Leicester winning – maybe they will!
What county is Leitrem in?
I would say Dublin will win it. I doubt it will be easy this time though. Tyrone have been putting together this side for the past few years and they look to be on the verge of something.
Who’s going to stop the Dubs in fairness? I’m not a Dub & I’m not going to rant about money, Croke Park, sponsorship, population, whatever. No matter what the reason is, they’re the best team in the country & that’s all there is to it.
The best, but not unbeatable. Any of the other top sides can beat them on any given day. Problem with the championship is they wint meet another top side till august.
Ya Tyrone might come close,they have been building & will use arms Knees elbows pulling dragging diving fouling spitting there way to the Top!!
A true a plague of Misery & disease to Football!!
Similar to Kerry and Dublin so…
Its hard to look past the Dubs. But in football you just never know. Kerry,Mayo and Tyrone are the only ones that have a chance of beating them. It’s just a pity we will have to wait until August for clashes between the big teams.
I’m not from Dublin but they will go on and win Sam Maguire again and next year they will do the same. No county in Ireland are good enough to beat Dublin.
Cork waiting in the long grass….
Mayo seem to have plenty of things going well for them. The likes of Evan Regan and Conor O’Shea look well suited to top quality football. Diarmuid o Conner is going from strength to strength and I can see a few of his fellow U21 Winning Teammates making the step up in the next few years possibly even this year . Then again we never know with Mayo do we.
lol Mayo
Mayo.
I’m offended that you haven’t included Down!
Build a bridge Niall
Down? Lmao
Ah come on lads, it’s clearly a joke. We’re feckin terrible.
Some clowns just don’t understand funny
I wouldn’t rule out roscommon after last night’s performance. They will grow in confidence as the year goes on
Probably poll should have been just Dublin or others.
I know this sounds absurd but Dublin are the only good team. The only team I can see challenging them is Tyrone. Kerry don’t have the players they used to and Mayo well they just have yellow bellies to be metaphorical. Dublin also have an amazing benchCostello, McMahon, Small to name a few. Dublin will win and they will win well.
McMahon and Small on the bench?
Silly question the dubs 100%
Big year for Roscommon?
Leitrims year
