As always hard to know where things will be regarding the second choice teams in the grade.
Group A looks the hardest by a bit

 

[Pothole01]

Winners will come from A
Sars or Midleton from other groups likely to contest

 

[North Cork Star]

Group A
Aghada
Bandon
Kilbrittain
Russell Rovers

Group B
Midleton
Mallow
Kildorrery
Blackrock

Group C
Erins Own
Sars
Youghal
Ballygiblin

Predictions to get out of their group:

Group A: Aghada & Bandon
Group B: Mallow & Midleton Bs
Group C: Sars Bs & Youghal

Mallow surely have to stop their free fall and rattle this competition. The B teams will be strong again as per usual. I wonder will Youghal start showing improvement this year with some good young hurlers coming through. Hard to call any relegation candidates currently.

Could you have a Kildorrery Russell Rovers relegation final? I think the teams in group c will all take points off each other

 

[Henrys Fonda]

Has to be Sars, the second best team in the county last year!

Anthony Nash (coach) and Pat O' Brien, Kilworth (manager). Is it common now to pay 2 lads to come in as coach/manager? Add in some S&C lad and that's 3 lads getting €100+ each a night. And Mitchelstown paying big money for Denis Reen from Kerry to train their footballers.

As far as I know Pat o brien lives in the area and kids play underage there
