We're down to the final four in the Taiteann Cup and a semi-final double-header at Croke Park.

Longford centre-back Mickey Quinn believes the competition has again been worthwhile and that the second edition has proven more exciting than last year's inaugural outing.

"I think it's shaping up really well," he told RTÉ Radio 1's The Championship.

"Down pipping Cavan and Laois beating Limerick were upsets. The final last year was pretty much the favourites (Westmeath and Cavan) got to it whereas as it’s shaping up now that it’s fairly open.

"Every county has different aims. Meath and Down are probably favourites this weekend. They would be traditionally very strong footballing counties. You have to start somewhere to build back up to that top table again.
