Been reading lots of posters and newspapers saying that Longstone is a young side and will be back provide strong challenge to Bridge next year.
If you look at Final's match programme, the Bridge average age is 24.5 while the Stone is 24.8. Bridge are a younger side than Stone.
Think Div 2 side Bryansford and Rostrevor with new manager will be threat to Bridge 5 in a row
