New thread for this years championship

Courtwood winning the league must give them a decent shout for the championship.

ports to lose i think .

ports to lose i think .

Have to agree. Seem to be getting most of their big guns back early this year.
Hard to see Courtwood sustain it. Biggest challenge should come from Josephs. Bally Abbey and Portlaoise will probably both be thereabouts too.
If I had to pick a dark horse I'd say Emo.

Right lads going to throw in my predictions for the first round.

Emo vs Graigue - Think Graigue will just have too much, could be close. Graigue by 4

Killeshin v Stradbally - Form would suggest Stradbally will be too strong but Heffernan and Roche make Killeshin a lot stronger of course. Strad by 6

Courtwood v O'Dempseys - Game of the round on paper. Courtwood down a few but O Dempseys not at full compliment either. Think Courtwood will get over the line by 2

St Joseph's v Crettyard - Joseph's good in the league with new players being integrated. Think crettyard will be a different force with O'Carroll back. Still think Joseph's too efficient. Joseph's by 9.

Ballyroan v Rosenallis - Can't see Rosenallis laying much of a glove on Ballyroan to be honest, would be worried for them with 3 down. Ballyroan by 13

Portlaoise v Clonaslee St Manmans - Only one winner. Portlaoise by 17

Arles Killeen v Park Ratheniska - Think park one of the favourites to go down too. Killeen won't be there at the business end I don't think but will have too much for Park. Killeen by 7

Portarlington v The Heath - Looks like Port will be the strongest they've been at a first round in a good few years. The Heath been dealt a bad hand with Port for the 2nd year in a row. Port by 12.
