The Friday Flutter: GAA, Premier League and Six Nations

After having a more than good Cheltenham, let’s try and keep the money rolling in via this tasty treble.

The biggest gambling week of the year is over and we'll try and keep it going for just a little longer with a sporting treble that is horse free.

Cheltenham was kind, at least to this punter, so we are brimming with confidence about our picks this weekend.

Last week Conor Heneghan was in this spot and he made some fine picks. An extra point for France, and if Wayne Rooney had gotten the first rather than the second for Manchester United in the FA Cup, he’d be in the Bahamas now.

Instead, he’s still here and I’m back in harness trying to make us all some money. And here’s what I went for, with this treble netting you about 9/1, if it lands of course.

St Thomas’ to beat Kilcormac-Killoughey, 4/9

We know that the Offaly club have pulled off a shock or two this year so far but we think the runs stops at the hands of Galway’s St Thomas’. We were leaning their direction anyway but the injury to Daniel Currams robs Kilcormac-Killoughey of their best forward.

That’s too much to overcome for me.

Everton to beat Man City, 5/2

Last year, Everton’s 4-4 draw with United brought City back into the title race. We expect the Toffees to end City’s hopes in this one. They were shocking last week against Wigan and we imagine David Mayes has been giving the mother and father of bollockings in training all week. The fans were on their back too in the wake of that cup exit so we really expect a reaction.

City are without Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany and Everton won this game last season 1-0. All things point to a home win, even at these odds.

Wales (+1) to beat England, 11/10

At home, and with England looking shaky last week, we fancy the team we beat in the opener to win the Championship in the final game.

It will be a bittersweet watch for Ireland fans but we just think that England are simply not good enough to be Grand Slam champions. Functional but no more, the rugby gods surely won’t allow them to win a Slam, meaning Wales have to do the job on Sunday. Whether they win by enough (six or more) to take the Championship is not a banker, but we think they will win the game.
