I’d be surprised if Clon get out of that group. A year ago people would have said Nemo and Haven would have walked that group and with Clon now short their best forward of last year I think they’ll struggle there.
Newcestown arguably more likely to cause an upset. They got out of a similarly tough group two years ago.
Fancy Nemo to get act together for their Centenary year, with only a couple of players in with Cork they should be able to get a bit of momentum - might need to work some Nemo magic for one or two transfers inwards though, panel looks light
Haven, Nemo, Barrs, Eire Og, Douglas & Valleys to emerge for me.
Things are levelling out a lot more in all the grades. There is still more levelling out to do in some grades but overall the format is excellent.
It’s not a slight on Clon of last year who were excellent and almost won it out but the draw and loss of a key player would look to have made things very difficult for them this year.
