Can't see a back to back in Tyrone. People think every year that it's going to happen but I'm just not sure. Could easily be caught out in the first round Errigal. Think Trillick had the best chance the year they lost to Dungannon on pens

[rodney trotter]

Leitrim Gaels will likely be thereabouts with the 3 Jones brothers now with them.

Rumours of Shane Walsh transferring to Salthill/Knocknacarragh. They were 4/1 on Sunday to win Galway sfc, now they are in to 2/1.

Did Errigal not do back to back last year?

Bookies favourites and going well in the league by all accounts

They did, I've Trillick backed this year.

Loughmacrory @ 7/1 in Tyrone SFC.

They'll fancy their chances

Who have they got players wise?

What years did they do back to back? Errigal won 2022, Trillick 2023 and Errigal 2024?

No they didn't. Errigal 2022 beat Carrickmore, Trillick 2023 beat Errigal, Errigal 2024 beat Trillick

McElholm, McCullagh, the Donaghy's, Oisin O'Kane keeper. Few other players that would be decent. Pushed Dungannon last year in Pomeroy

[lurganblue]

I think it's between CE and Cross in Armagh, with the CE squad maybe just a little better.  That said, if they dont play to their own levels in a particular game then they could be picked off by Madden, Killeavy etc.

[Rossfan]

St Brigids roaring favourites in Roscommon.
Pearses, Boyle, Ros Gaels and Clann are in the running. One of them might catch Brids in a Qtr Final.

Brids have a team in all 4 adult Championships!!

Don't know enough to be hazarding guesses about the other 31 Counties.
Or their SHCs, IFCs, IHCs etc

Clann Éireann are the best team in Armagh though I think they're without Heffron again which is a big loss. They'll also have one eye on Ulster this year.

Cross on paper are as probably just as strong but don't have the same cohesion (too many me feiners in the forwards IMO).

Killeavy are my darkhorses, they were 14/1 with Toals now down to 11/1, a seasoned and experienced panel that have regularly featured in semi finals. They've Stevie McDonnell at the helm and have been playing good football on their way to a first ever Division 1 title.

I believe Heffron will be home for Championship. 

Cross ability to get two pointers will certainly give them a chance.

Stevie has done well with Kileavey had them playing on front foot last year prior to the rule changes, when they had a reputation of playing defensive football. Things didn't go to well at Clonoe for him but he seems to have reinvented himself after a bit of time out of coaching at senior level. If they could get Conor O'Neill back on the pitch be a big lift for them.
