Interesting read this. My neighbours in grenagh seem to be very confident bolstered by numerous underage cork stars. VERDICT grenagh by 7

Thinking a lot in this grade will depend on how clubs that are strong at hurling get on. If they go out of hurling early their football potential will significantly rise.

Not correct based on history, it’s rare enough that a hurling club win Junior A county football.
The Corcoran inspired Erin’s Own one of the few that have done it in recent decades.

I don’t see the margin being that wide. Could be a close game both teams are good defensively. Wouldn’t rule out a draw

I'm not basing it on history but more on how much weaker the junior standard is now compared to previous years.

I would have agreed with that statement myself up to recently. Ended up sitting beside a very interesting group of Cork GAA men in PUC and they educated me.
They reminded me that when I was playing myself there was almost 60 teams playing higher than junior in the Senior and Intermediate championships.
That number hasn’t changed much.

The standard of the Junior championship today is either up, down or the same nowadays in line with the rest of Club football.
