Marc Ó Sé previews All-Ireland Senior Football Championship games
Published:
Ladbrokes ambassador Marc Ó Sé runs the rule over three matches in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship this weekend.
The odds are stacked heavily in Armagh’s favour when they face Antrim in the Ulster Senior Football Championship preliminary round on Saturday. Armagh won’t be too disappointed having gone down to Division Two but they will be disappointed that their talisman Rian O’Neill is out injured.
The Orchard County may have been relegated but were never lost heavily in any of their four losses in Division One, whereas Antrim were beaten out of the gate by Westmeath in Division Three and finished just a point above the relegation zone. Since Andy McEntee’s arrival, he has given youth a chance to shine and I feel that even though he has the right idea, they won’t be playing to the same level as Armagh.

Leitrim make the trip to New York on Saturday and it promises to be a cracker. New York have added a few players since their narrow defeat to Sligo last year, including past All-Star nominee Bill Maher and Galway’s Johnny Glynn to name a couple.
When you consider that Leitrim only managed fourth spot in Division Four and that their opponents will certainly have an advantage playing on an astro pitch, I think New York are a big price at 3/1.
Mayo will be buzzing after last weekend’s NFL title win against Galway. Momentum is a huge factor and I think Mayo came through last weekend’s game unscathed. They will be ready to go again on Sunday when they face huge rivals Roscommon.
The Rossies will be very happy with their National League campaign and will want to push on now in the Championship. However, Kevin McStay has done a great job since he took charge of Mayo. He has brought a very youthful and fresh Mayo side to a national title, and he is not stopping there. Mayo for the win at 4/11.
