No mention of the minor team who won an all ireland in Tullamore sterday? Now if that was Cavan........

It's a win and those aren't too frequent at any level at the moment, but realistically it's a win in All-Ireland 'C' - as opposed to a Leinster title and 'A' quarter-final last year - so the enthusiasm will be at a lower level.

Yeah. Fraid so. Good for the young lads but.................

Who is favourite for Connolly this year?

I fear that Mostrim have finally run out of road.

Killoe, Colmcille or Abbey for the main prize?

Leader Cup final:

Clonguish 2-16 Colmcille 3-10

Clonguish complete the league double (Division 1 and Leader Cup). The third leg of the triple awaits.

Yes Laurel, 2 titles in the bag. The third leg is significantly harder and all other opponents will be at full strength or very close to it as lads return.

I know the league is always second on the list in terms of priority but I feel there was more of an edge to the Leader Cup final when it was played in Oct/Nov/Dec. However, players are happy not to have the season drag into the depths of winter.

Should be a good championship and just like the county scene, a lot of teams will be quietly fancying their chances.
