4-6 Madrid will put up hell of a fight

Saffrons in the first of the quarter-final action this weekend.

- 

Last year's All-Ireland finalists had a mixed old League campaign, narrowly avoiding relegation, although they did win three and draw one of their seven games in Division One.

No such positivity for Antrim, who were relegated down to Division Four and it is hard to see them landing a blow - the bookies agree, making them 12-1 shots.

Only Kerry scored more points than Armagh in the round robin stage of the League — incidentally I'm just putting it out there but I hate the two-point rule, it's a cheap reward for the skill required.

The handicap is set a big -12 for Armagh at 10-11 but I think that they can cover it unless Antrim can get among the goals. I'll back the Orchard County to win well.
