2024 Junior A Football Championship

[Boom Boom Man]

Two heavy defeats for Aghinagh recently. Hard to see them as favourites for Muskerry

They were 3/3 before that, themselves and Mayfield are playing a higher league grade that any other Junior A team are playing, but that's why I have them at 5th this week and not higher. Find it hard to see them being beaten come championship in Muskerry after being so close for so long.

Are we not moving into crazy period with young fellas focusing on exams? Some smaller clubs could be down as many as half their championship team in April and May

Agree on this. The next month or so is an uncertain period for junior teams and may not be a reflection on them come championship

Wasn’t there a similar article this time last year titled sleeping giant?
Now we’ve a Sleeping Giant emerging from the shadows? Doesn’t sound too solid to me, may just want a stretch, snack and go back for a nap
Good young lads coming through hopefully they can go deep, Danny Buck fine coach was with Muskerry last few years

St. Marys flying seriously under the radar in Carbery. Scored 6-15 in their most recent club game and top of the DIV 2 league. Always been in and around for the last 5 years. Corcoran sounds unmarkable from what ive heard. Add in the scannells and young cullinane and they will be a force to be reckoned with. They did take a few big scalps last season in Bal and Barryroe and narrowly lost out to kilmacs. Kilmacs another massive force. With Gore jennings and mccarthy having to be marked 1 on 1 it must be a nightmare for any budding young defender in west cork. Mathunas showing that last year was no fluke. Read in the star that they had 7 different scorers in their recent game, very promising sign of squad depth from them. The only factor that i will mention that may cause some irregularities in recent form is the fact that college exams and LC is taking place atm so teams could be down 8-12 lads in certain clubs
