Sars you'd imagine with Killeagh, Fr. O'Neills, Douglas and Blackrock also strong. Turnbull out for Douglas, presume Dunne is still out for O'Neills.

Joke of a competition, mid October and there's 18 clubs still in championship, you couldn't make it up

Didn't Killeagh get to the Minor final three years back?

But yeah would be surprised if Sars don't win this handy.

Why is this competition played so late in the year anyway?

If it is a case that the U20 championship at inter county level next year means you cannot play in that grade if you are part of the senior panel? Wonder if something similar could be done at club level

How often have we heard it said that you can only improve yourself by playing against the best. That might a truism or it might not.
Either way denigrating these clubs for having the ambition to play at the highest level of U21 hurling isn't cool.

Did they get to last year's final as well?
