I'm gonna go with Blackrock to beat Ballygiblin. Midleton scored 2-15 in the 2nd half alone against Ballygiblin the last day. Cathail O' Mahony, James Mullins and Pa Magee went off injured for town last week. And Mark Keane is down under too obviously. Blackrock aren't bad at all. They have players like John O' Sullivan, Eoin and David O' Farrell and Fionn Coleman seems to be in great form at the moment.

Lisgoold should have enough for Mayfield, with the likes of the 2 Cronins, Diarmuid Healy, the Cashmans and Liam O' Shea on their side.

The relegation final is a massive game for Youghal so I think they will want it more than Douglas. Youghal have 3 Cork minors joining their squad next year so it would be good for them to stay Intermediate.

Ballygiblin in serious trouble with injuries, missing 4or5 from the last game.

Isn’t minor going back to U18 next year? I always thought it was but I could be mistaken. I agree with all your predictions though, huge game for Youghal.

Mayfield seem to have been written off all year. Tipping away nicely & topped a tough group.

That is the plan in cork alright but there’s a huge issue of do the 18s only play their own grade or will they be allowed play adult?

My own view is let them play both and let the club decide what is best for their players. But some clubs will try get minor games put off to suit their adult teams and that cannot be allowed happen either

The vote is being held in Croke Park on Sept 30th. The CCB tried to go on a solo run with a special convention in April but it was ruled out of order.
The Cork stance is that a player must be 18 the year before he plays adult.

Exactly. Everyone is making lisgoold out to be world beaters. They were lucky in the group. Mayfield are well seasoned team team at this grade & still have plenty fire power. They're a different animal this year & will be looking forward to a cut off lisgoold. Mayfield to win for me & Blackrock to beat ballygiblin in the other game. Ballygiblin had a handy group & got blitzed by Midleton in the second half of the last group game. Certain people only go off paper talk instead of watching the actual games

I think Ballygiblin will be missing 6 or 7 that started last year's final at the weekend. Hard enough to make the jump without those problems.
