2026 Premier Junior Hurling Championship

[West is Best]

Surprised with how easily Argideen dispatched of ballygarvan, are they contenders now? I’d still go with Kilshannig to win it out.

Think Tullylease have a Junior C football team, they had fairly recently anyway

I remember they beat Charleville's 1st team in a Co Junior Quarter final, i am going to say 2009/10.

Newtown also. I expect they will walk the junior B county. Have had some very good underage teams coming up that would make up the most of their b team.
Would I be right in saying Bobby Carroll is eligible for this junior b team also?

No he's playing with Dromina as is a lot of the Shandrum underage players.

Tbf any one of last 4 have to be seen as contenders, that being said I think agrideen would be behind the others

2008, they beat Charleville then lost to Mathunas in a semi, Dripsey won the county and then the All Ireland (and a few of those lads are still starting now).

Hard to see small clubs being competitive to that extent again without amalgamating unfortunately, unless in exceptional circumstances.

They must be - BG were expected to beat them . They should have beaten Kilshannig after going 5-6 points up well into second half but let them back into it and lost out by a point. Tbf, BG missing their man man up (R O' Halloran) up front. Would agree though that looking good for Kilshannig but Barryroe and St Catherines especially will believe this is their year too!

Argideen missing there captain and keeper too both with knee injuries, imo it's Catherine's to lose but Barryroe will have Olan Donovan back for more minutes than against Cloughduv which will be massive for them. Killshannig may get caught between two stools with senior football this weekend

To me St Catherines are the stand out team left, good experience from their run to Croke park too which should stand to them.

Should Newtown not be Junior A if they won the north cork Junior B last year ?

They would be slight favs alright but imo any of the 4 teams left will feel they can go all the way as there isnt a huge gap between any of the 4.

I seen Catherines against my own club Cloughduv and there wasnt a whole lot in it if Cloughduv had taken their chances and I missed Barryroe game but heard it was also very tight and nothing between them .

Arigadeen had a big win over Ballygarvan but again it was very close and Ballygarvan will rue alot of missed chances too i heard so it will be 2 very tight semi finals and I wouldnt be surprised any team making it to a final.
