We're going to take a quick break and then move on to maybe this weekend.

OK, so your formal matches this weekend, as I mentioned at the start.

We have on Saturday, Westmeath versus Calvin at 5pm, Ahmad Derry 7.15pm, and Dublin Loud on Sunday at 2.30pm, and Monaghan Mayo at 4.30pm.

Ahmad Derry should be, hopefully, a good game.

Obviously, Derry had that...

bizarre game against Monaghan unbelievable comeback that unbelievable two-pointer from Jack McCarron to take it to extra time up to the last 15 minutes Derry looked like they were motoring well and maybe playing Armand in an Ulster final instead of playing this weekend how significant do you think Armand's Ulster win is for them for their mentality does it mean anything or is it just another competition and this is the real business do you expect that to have any significance across the summer?

Yeah, and whoever loses there into the loser side of the draw, like Kerry versus Derry or Kerry versus Armagh will be a really good tie and will be winner advances, loser goes home.

So a lot at stake, it feels like.

Yeah, I'm enjoying this new format, even though it's only kind of building up.

Yeah, we don't know like Kerry lost and we don't know necessarily if that'll be a fatal blow, but it feels big at the moment, which I like, you know, versus the round robin last year was a little slower.

So that's Armagh, Derry, Westmead, Cavan.

Westmead's win over Dublin was, it was a really entertaining game.

They kind of kicked on in extra time.

Like, what do you make of Westmead?

Like, on paper, Cavan is a very winnable game.

They're at home in Mullingar.

I think it sold out really, really quickly.

Obviously, a big buzz around the team.

Were you impressed with them?

In fairness, you wouldn't begrudge them a bit of a celebration after winning at Leinster for the first time in 22 years.
