Weekend First Divison Games 27th -29 July

First Division Games

Friday 27th July

Limerick 37 v Kildare County
Limerick 37 are having a solid enough first season in existence, sitting 3rd in the league, just 1 defeat at home all season & 12 pts from the last 15 available its easy to see why. The Thoroughbreds have just 1 win in 5 going into tonight’s game and look unlikely to take anything tonight. Home win.
Price Guide: 8/13 Limerick 37 4/1 Kildare 9/5 Draw 19.45

Match Result: Limerick 0-0 Kildare

Monaghan v Kilkenny
Monaghan look likely to miss Peter Darcy to injury while Mooney is suspended, Monaghan who drew last time out away in Station rd, have been beat 6 times at home already this season including an early season loss to the Cats. Unfortunately for Kilkenny the table doesn’t lie and having lost 10 games on the road its hard to make a case for them tonight, Willie Tyrrell should debut tonight. Monaghan should just edge, but only just.
Price Guide: 11/10 Monaghan 2/1 Kilkenny 11/5 Draw 20.00

Match Result: Mons 3-0 Kilkenny

Shelbourne v Dundalk
Dermot Keely waxes lyrical about Dundalk in the press today, and its easy to see why, only one defeat this year, away to 2nd place Cobh, they have been the pace setters all year banging in 5 for 0 in their 2 previous meetings this year with Shels. Shels are trying desperately to rebuild a dynasty and with Keely at the helm who wouldn’t bet against them? Well I would tonight.
Price Guide: 10/3 Shelbourne 8/11 Dundalk 11/5 Draw 20.00

Match Result: Shels 1-0 Dundalk

Saturday, 28th July

Athlone v Wexford
This season promised so much for Athlone with the new stadium unveiled they were going to concentrate on building a team. With only 3 home wins all season there hasn’t been much to cheer about at Lissywollen (the best named ground in the league) although one of those wins did come against Saturday night’s opponents. Wexford’s away form is marginally better than their home strangely enough, but are up against it tonight with only 1 pt taken from their last 4 games. Home Win
Price Guide: 1/1 Athlone 11/5 Wexford Yth 11/5 Draw 19.00

Match Result: Athlone 0-1 Wexford


Cobh v Harps
Only beaten twice this year Cobh are on a real charge and a win against Finn Harps is vital to keep on Dundalk’s coat tails. They’ve and excellent home record this year, just 1 defeat. Harps had a poor enough start to the season but are on an eight game unbeaten run at the moment. The only negative is the away form doesn’t really stand up, they’ve beaten Kilkenny, Wxford & Monaghan, (3 of the bottom 4 clubs) but they have struggled against the top-sides losing to both Dundalk & Cobh. I’d expect the same result here. Home Win
Price Guide: 1/1 Cobh 11/5 Harps 11/5 Draw 19.45

Match Result: Cobh 0-0 Harps
