This is a tough one to call. The loss to Crossmollina in Round Two really kick-started Ballina's season, and from there on they've been pretty much faultless when dispatching Ballyhaunis, Ballaghderreen, and Knockmore.
They're no longer reliant on Evan Regan up top and have scorers right throughout their top eight.
Westport showed serious character in their wins over Breaffy and Crossmollina. The introduction of Colm Moran to the starting line-up, as well as Finbarr McLaughlin's return to form, has boosted their forward line.
I think if Ballina can get ahead in this game coming down the stretch, then their experience and game management will get them over the line.
VERDICT: Ballina Stephenites
