First Division Betting

Bray 9 - 2 Kilkenny 9 - 1

Finn Harps 5 - 1 Cobh 9 - 1

Dundalk 11 - 2 Athlone 12 - 1

Kildare 6 - 1 Dublin 20 - 1

Galway 7 - 1 Limerick 20 - 1

Sligo 8 - 1 Monaghan 28 - 1


From Paddy Powers. Interestig stuff. The first division is so hard to call. Are Bray that much better than Finn Harps or Galway even. Galway look like a good bet. Limerick at 20/1 compared to Kilkenny and Cobh at 9/1 seems completely wrong. Do Paddy Power know that Tommy Lunch has taken over at Buckley Park? Dundalk would also want to improve a lot to live up those odds.

monaghan are hardly that long a shot are they?

Galway and Harps look the best value.

Kilkenny at 9-1. :confused: :confused:

Anyone have any indications on the diffeence between Limerick and Kilkenny?

Lynch is an ex-Limerick manager who had little success with the club and he is bringing ex-Limerick players to Kilkenny.

I for one don't get it. Could someone please enlighten me?:confused:

Tommy in his day was a good player. Previous to Limerick he had managed Waterford but I don't know what the circumstances were for his leaving of Waterford. Someone out there might tell us. But back to him managing Limerick though, he got them organised and all the players knew what they were doing. He also had a good mix of young and experienced players and towards the end of his last season he had Limerick challenging for the playoffs but towards the end of the season they faded a bit. I think as well though the difference between Tommy and Noel and their overall abilities involved in management is probably the deciding factor regarding the betting odds.

However Limerick have done well to improve their wage bill and sign some good experienced players but if we could also get some more players of the calibre of Colm Heffernan, Limerick will be in with a flying chance of promotion. However, regardless if we do or don't sign anymore new players I think Limerick will do far better than Kilkenny.

.... Kilkenny will finish higher than us this season, which is not nice!!!!

I have a hunch that Kilkenny will flop this season. Looking at the players he's taken only McCarthy looks a real start. As for the others... a Paul Harmon who was never a regular in any Limerick team, David Dunphy (a ginger Frank Browne) and Eddie Hickey (junior football last year and Galway's bench the season before. What are we afraid of?

As for The Lunchbox, Nempton asserts "He also had a good mix of young and experienced players and towards the end of his last season he had Limerick challenging for the playoffs but towards the end of the season they faded a bit." Sounds like Limerick last season to be honest except we've added more experience this time out.

BisB, I think that posting calls for a small wager no? What do you think. And I won't even look for odds from you based on Paddy Powers view. :) 10 euro?

..... I dont like betting against my own team but I like easy money too so maybe.......

I don't get you Nempton.

Lynch brought no silverware to Limerick, yet O'Connor did. Lynch played one man up front at home. O'Connor has begun to build up a better team. Lynch seems to be cramming ex-Limerick players into his team, players O'Connor doesn't seem to rate.
