Following on from our anti post picks for the national football league,
we now focus our attention on the round 1 fixtures.
Our first selection looks at the Saturday night game between Down and
Fermanagh in Division 2. Games between two Ulster teams tend to be tight
physical battles and we expect something similar later tonight. Looking back on
the stats from the 2016 league both teams only managed to hit the onion bag
twice while it is expected that both teams will be looking to keep things tight
at the other end. Under 1.5 goals is
10/11 with Paddy Power and we believe this will result in little goal mouth
action. We will have a 1.5pts bet on that.
Our main selection for the weekend is Kerry to beat Donegal at 8/11.
They were a general 10/11 shot this time yesterday but with the news of Donegal
giving debuts to five players that price was smashed and are now 4/6 in places.
Kerry have named as strong a side as possible for this game and will be hoping
that 2014 Footballer of the Year James O'Donoghue can recapture the form that
made him unplayable that summer. David Moran will be a key player in midfield
as he will look to dominate the inexperienced Donegal duo. Michael Murphy's
recent trip to France to train with Clermont will have hampered his pre season
training and he may be needed around the middle of the park if Kerry get on top
early. What we don't want is a repeat of last years game where Kerry were
reduced to 14 men in a game which threatened to spill over on occasion. If
Kerry can keep their focus on the football they have an excellent chance to open their account
with an away win. We are all over
Kerry to win with a 5pt stake at 8/11.

divisions and also our take on the Club Hurling Championship.
