Very early for hurling but I suppose its better than just training. It'll give the lads a chance to stretch their limbs at least.

It should all be competitive enough apart from kilkenny, depending on what sort of team they put out. Laois v Down should be good as should the winners v Dublin. Westmeath could give Offaly a right rattle.

I agree. All the games bar Kilkenny/UCD should be tight. Lets hope they get desent weather.

Laois are putting in substantial effort under Fox this year...
I predict a lobsided game...

Down could really struggle this year.  Gary savage has just retired and Paul Branniff has unfortunately suffered another cruciate injury.  Big players , big miss

Sorry to hear that. That will be a massive blow considering An Dún are Div 1 hurling this year.
