We're not a patch on last year and won't score many goals but I think we're solid enough in midfield and defence.

I've gone for a daring enough Drogheda/Derry double. I don't necessarily fancy Drogheda to win tomorrow but they're massively overpriced at home to probably the 2nd worst team in the division so I'm willing to take the risk that they'll do it. Also I'll be at that game so it'll make it that bit more interesting.

Rovers 8/13, UCD 10/11, Pats 4/6, Cork 4/9 and Harps draw @ 21/10 is my backin, �5 on

I dont doubt you Terry but being the first game of the season I'd imagine the most important thing for most clubs is not to get beaten. with the usual carosel of the transfer window, teams will be cagey of unknown quantities and most would be happy with a point from their first game hence a plethora of draws. If i recall correctly, there were a lot of draws in the first few rounds of games last season also.

Fancy Mervue to win as well. They've already beaten Salthill away in pre-season and Salthill have taken some heavy beatings since that game.

It took two outrageous refereeing decisions for Distillery to score against us. Other than that, we had lots of ball, passed it nicely and did feck all with it really. I'd say we'll be back to being like the UCD under Pete - well organised, solid defensively, top scorer on 4.

Drogheda have apparently signed Alan McNally back, so they've two players now who can at least play football (Brian Gannon being the other one; basically, the former UCD players

) - that'll improve them a little bit again.

Also, remember in pre-season (for what that's worth), we've beaten Mervue 5-0 (they were awful), Longford 2-0 and Monaghan 3-1. Not too shabby.

My bet:

Harps Vs Limerick (DRAW)
Bray Vs Bohs (DRAW)
Shams Vs Dundalk (DRAW)
Longford Vs Shels (Shels WIN)
Salthill Vs Mervue (Mervue WIN)

€5 to win €900.

Worth a punt!

Gone for 5 on Pats, Rovers, UCD treble and 5 on a Shels/Mervue double. First one returns 28 or so I think, the second 24 or thereabouts. Apologies to the supporters of the above teams as I've more than likely jinxed them now.

**bennocelt** · 04/03/2011, 6:09 PM

gone for Limerick away and cork at home.................................

So far so good. Decent profit made already.
