    Just to go through the permutations...

    Ok, it is relatively simple there are three events which will lead us to win the title. No amount of goals need to be scored other than more than or at least equal to our opponents.

    1. Harps lose, we win. We win the league by two points.
    2. Harps draw, we win. We win the league by a point.
    3. Harps lose, we draw. We win the league by goal difference.

    The last is highly unlikey but hey, nice to have the goal difference on our side. I wouldn't say Kilkenny have nothing to play for as they can drag themselves to fifth from bottom above Cobh which gives a bit more prize money and respectability. On the other hand Dundalk's result can have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on their position. So it's a tough one to call. I reckon with Dundalk's past record in these situations the omens are in our favour. So here's hoping.

    Yeah but if the Under 21's beat Cork even on penos they win the thing right?

    It'll be game, set and match.
