A biggie tomorrow. Shels off the back of a 7-0 win, but Mervue lost 5-1 at home to Monaghan the previous game. Our form's been poor compared to the start of the season - eight points from the five five games of round 2 compared to 15 in round 1 - but I think that's at least half down to the other clubs pulling themselves together (Harps are unbeaten in five, Limerick have appointed Pat Scully, Monaghan have six wins in their last nine, Kildare are clearly improving and we were the better team against Waterford and Feckall). Shels have lost Madden, but it looks like they mightn't miss him as much as you'd have thought (before Mervue, only himself and Flood had scored more than once).
Will take a draw. A defeat and there's a gap at the top for the first time. Waterford and Fungus might well slip up against Harps and Monaghan, but don't want to be relying on it.
