Joe Kernan’s Galway look to be odds on to book their place in the FBD League final this weekend after picking up back to back victories over both Sligo and Leitrim. This Sunday the Armagh man’s charges will face a sort of homecoming when they take on the students from GMIT at 2pm in Moycullen, and with a comprehensive score difference in their pockets from their two wins, the Tribesmen would have to go down by more than nine points to be denied a place in the home final. The students have two points on the board in the competition and will be full of confidence heading into the clash as they step up their preparations for Sigerson Cup action in the not too distant future.

The one down-side to Kilkenny's magnificent inter-county success is that important club games are crammed into a busy schedule at the back end of the year. I know it's a nice dilemma to have and we're probably the envy of the country in that regard, but such was the volume of games on last weekend, that one would nearly have required a helicopter to get from venue to venue. It puzzled me why the two senior quarter-finals couldn't have been played together as double headers on Saturday and Sunday. Take Sunday for instance when there was one match in Callan and then another in Nowlan Park. People don't like being dragged all over the county on a Sunday when there's no need for it. I'm not for one minute here having a go at John Lockes, their pitch and facilities are the envy of most clubs in Kilkenny, it's just a little common sense could be used. Take Sunday again, if the intermediate quarter-final between Danesfort and Conahy Shamrocks had been played at noon, the double-header could have been watched by all in Nowlan Park. Just some food for thought for the fixtures’ committee.

If anyone thought that all a country need do to preserve its freedom when its neighbours are at war is to proclaim its neutrality, then they have only to look hard at what happened to several European countries at the beginning of World War II. Ladies and gentleman of the whinge brigade, neutrality isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
