We got Lamhs in the first round

Tie of the preliminary round is Creggan v Moneyglass, that will be a real battle. Biggest chance of an upset will be Ballymena against Cargin, if McVeagh is back for championship.

Naomh Eoin to win Senior football championship

[imtommygunn]

I think lamh dhearg is a potential banana skin for st galls. The earlier you get st galls, in my view, the better chance you will have of beating them so I think that provides an interesting tie.

Ballymena are very strong in midfield but don't think they're strong enough elsewhere to compete with cargin. I'd expect cargin to win with a bit to spare. St Brigids- St Pauls is a good tie though st pauls do seem to have went downhill somewhat.

Rossa - St Johns could be interesting.

No disrspect to st galls but if they were beat early it'd make it more interesting! Dunno if that will happen mind.

Naomh Eoin to win Senior football championship

Is that the same Naomh Eoin as the Naomh Eoin who were talked up last year only to play like a bunch of puddin's come championship time?
More chance of a rockin' horse having a shite.

Time will tell!

Bit of a shame to see 3 intermediate teams dropping down into the Junior championship. Surely the county needs to look at this to stop it happening?

Glenravel to play Mitchels.... Oh dear. Mitchels didn't even score in the championship last year against Ballycastle. Looks like a few teams were looking for an easy championship win.

Whats story with intermediate draw? Are they just playing the prelim matches first then doing another draw? I was only able to find 2 matches

glenravel should surely be in with a shout for the junior championship.  or will it be a further slide down the hill into division 4.
