The GAA accumulator for you to follow this weekend

We were only one off last weekend

It’s time.

Last weekend, our 62/1 GAA accumulator was only let down by one team. Thanks a lot, Rathnew!

This weekend, we’re out to make it one better.

It’s club GAA. We all think we have some sort of inside knowledge on the GAA matches, between junior and senior, that are taking place all over the country.

We’ve studied the form, we’ve done our homework – now let’s take these bookies to the cleaners.

Ah no, we’re only joking, that rarely ever happens. It’s a tricky game, but here is our best at a small tipple that could reap rewards.

Our tips below make for a 45/1 accumulator.

Liam Mellows +3 against Gort in Galway hurling final.

From last year’s relegation final to this year’s final, the Ballyloughnane side have enjoyed a remarkable year of hurling.

Louis Mulqueen became the coach of the green and white side at the start of the year. He’s the man who coached Clare to 2013 All-Ireland glory.

He’ll have them primed for the Gort challenge. They’ve former Galway seniors David Collins and Aonghus Callanan in their ranks.

Odds of 11/10 with the aid of +3 handicap look too attractive to refuse.

The Nire -1 against Stradbally in Waterford football final.

The 2016 champions are hungry for success again if Jamie Barron’s comments are anything to go by.

It’s a joke that it has come to this; a county final in December, but these two sides will be gunning for glory.

“It’s a county final now, it’s irrelevant what time of the year it is. We’ll be out to win it,” said Jamie Barron on Thursday’s GAA Hour show.

Conor Gleeson is a classy operator up front, and a host of young players should give them the edge over Stradbally.

They should have enough in hand. Odds of 6/5 for the -1 handicap are generous.

Cuala -6 against Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster final.

Kilcormac-Killoughey are a seasoned group. It’s their third Leinster final in the last six years. The Offaly side are ageing, though, and the sheer class and firepower of Cuala will be too much for them in Parnell Park.

Throw them in at 10/11.

Dromid Pearses to beat Knocknagree.

The Kerry champions are the outsiders in the Munster junior football final, but they have every chance.

Declan O’Sullivan’s side will take on the Cork county champions, who are unusual in that they are based in the Kerry parish of Rathmore.

We fancy the Pearses to take it at 11/8 in the Mallow clash on Sunday.

Carnacon ladies -3 at 6/5.

Cora Staunton to do the damage.

****

So here’s the bet. Don’t throw the kitchen sink on it.

  • Liam Mellows +3 against Gort in the Galway hurling county final.
  • The Nire -1 against Stradbally in Waterford football county final.
  • Cuala -6 against Kilcormac-Killoughey in Leinster hurling final.
  • Dromid Pearses to beat Knocknagree in Munster Junior football final.
  • Carnacon ladies to beat Mourneabbey in All-Ireland senior ladies football final.

It works out at 45/1. Too good to be true? Let’s hope not.

Always gamble responsibly.
