Anyone know exact format of Intermediate? They mentioned there's a qf this year?

Unsure on intermediate.

The battle for third place in both of those senior groups should be interesting.

Oisins beat Naomh Eanna a few weeks ago and from what i heard NE had a few of their county lads so id think they will have a chance in that one.

Id fancy Rossa to miss out in Group 1 but plenty of time before it starts for opinions to change.

Any idea how many teams involved? Is it 8 or one of those set ups where group winner goes straight to sf and 2nd/3rd into a qf like other comps?

NAG1

Group one in the senior definitely going to throw up some interesting encounters.

Will Ballycastle be able to maintain this league momentum or will they wilt when the others get their full compliments back?


Can't see them maintaining it, as much as it would be good to have them back to being competitive.

Hopefully they can and put something there to build on over the next few years.

I'd say their panel is bigger than before, working on the league to provide a platform for Championship is good when you haven't been dinning at the top table for a while..

But teams that build for championship have a knack for timing it right for early September, if they collect some silverware this year then its something to build on for next

As much as it would be good to see in terms of the championship, i cant see it. They did this last year as well at the tail of the league and were getting good results but once the teams get their full panels back it tends to tell a story.

The league is of no bearing to any of the group games so i wouldnt put much creed into any results.

NorthAntrimSaff

Nowhere near it. Theyd probably need a fully fit Niall McKenna and Ciaran Clarke.
Is Clarke finished? What a hurler he was

imtommygunn

That's a great result.

A win is a win  ;D  Good day all round.
