2:30 p.m., S.H., Offaly vs. Westmeath
This contest will be another where neighborly rivalry will be exploited to the full. Westmeath will start favorites by virtue of their victory over a highly regarded Tipperary side. If they produce the goods, expect the Lakesiders to shade it.
4 p.m., S.F. Monaghan, vs. Kerry
Kerry should maintain their unbeaten status as they will be too strong for a Monaghan team that has failed to find their form this season. However, the Farney boys have a habit of taking prized scalps when least expected. Still, Kerry will prevail.
5:30 p.m., S.F., Westmeath vs. Leitrim
A win here is crucial to both teams if they expect to be contenders in the division. Over the last few years, both teams have battled each other ferociously on occasions. Expect more of the same with the hungrier team emerging with the spoils.
