Cavan champions might actually be at their strongest in a good few years. Would expect Gowna or Crosserlough to be competitive in Ulster.

The Cavan club haters would be delighted to know that Division 1 Lacken (albeit relegated to division 2 this year) are down to Junior for next year.

There are two division 3 teams in the Junior final this year though so don't expect much from Ulster campaign his year haha.

Could anyone give us a status of each county and what stage they are at?

Don't worry a quick look at the Ulster IFC/JFC thread shows Donegal and Derry once again cooking the books.

We're doing the opposite by persisting with 16 teams in the senior championship.
Happy to be proven wrong but i don't think either our intermediate or junior winners will be overly strong this year in Ulster.

[Wildweasel74]

Derry senior proved this year that it's only strong enough for 12 teams.

Surely Glenullin will give it a rattle. Twice intermediate winners in the last 4 years and finished comfortably in Division 1.

If Derry is cooking the books in Intermediate and Junior, we need a new accountant
