Championship gets under way this weekend lads. Who are your choices for winning out the senior and the premier?? Clarinbridge will be there thereabouts, probably turloughmore, maybe Tommies or even st Thomas' have one last shot at winning tom callanan.
I can't see beyond Loughrea making it 3 in a row. Hanzy a big loss but Shane o brien is back fit and will prob spot into corner back nicely. Dylan shocks back from Oz and will prob slot into half back or half forward line., although he will have competition from Gavin maher.The introduction of forwards like jack shocks and Bobby Feeney to Vince Morgan, Darren shaughnessy, Anthony burns, Martin McManus (back fully fit), Jamie Ryan, tiernan Killeen etc I can't see any team coping with them. Roll on club champ 2026

Would be nice to see Loughrea 'lording it' for a change. Their excellent record for the last 25 years certainly never looked like it came easy. They're overdue a few freewheeling years, if now is their time. If they achieve 3 in a row, the comparisons to top sides of the past like Sarfields, Athenry, Portumna, Thomass will be inevitable, and hopefully not unflattering.

I agree with you there. They have to bridge that gap against ballygunner etc. they will have it all to do this year. I can see a few shocks along the way. Craughwell are building, clarinbridge are building but as the saying goes talent is not always enough. You need that bit of grit and doggedness. I would also say st Thomas' will have a bit say. I heard this year was the first year Thomas' had David burke for a league game. That's insane
