Replying To ohwow:  "Hopefully we have an open senior championship like last year and continue having a different winner. Neigbbouring counties which have the same winner every year is just not high quality"
I agree with this point and thanks so much for highlighting it.

Unfortunately your championship won't have an All Ireland club semi finalist or finalist or possible winner. The entertainment might be good but the quality won't be there. I'm thinking St Brigid's, Corofin, Tuam, Boyle and Ballina the big hitters out west this year. God back in the day the Willie's were a sure bet for the auld semis. Keep the job lit. Love to all.

Predictions for this years championship

Senior
Leitrim Gaels and Fenagh are my favourites, but I wouldn't be surprised if Allen Gaels were to do well.
I think Aughawillian could struggle.
Winner Leitrim Gaels

Intermediate
Gortletteragh surprised most people with 9 straight wins to deservedly win the Div 2 title. They have some super young players and look well suited for a return to Senior.
Annaduff and Aughavas can't be taken lightly, though.
Winner Gortletteragh

Junior
Kiltubrid will take some stopping. Bar Aughnasheelin, I don't think anyone is close to them.
Eslin, Cloone, and Glenfarne look vulnerable.
Winner Kiltubrid

Prediction for this weekend

Senior
Aughawillian (5/1) v Ballinamore (1/7)
Aughawillian had a few lads return to Aus since the league. Anything but a big Ballinamore win will be a surprise.
Ballinamore by 12

Allen Gaels (5/1) v Fenagh (1/7)
Fenagh has 7 players starting for Leitrim. Allen Gaels was competitive in the league and didn't lose any games by more than 2/3 points. One win could turn Allen Gaels' season around, but they might have to wait another week.
Fenagh by 2

Manorhamilton (4/1) v Leitrim Gaels (1/7)
Manor deservedly finished 3rd in Division 2. Even if Kelly and McNulty are back for Manor, Leitrim Gaels will have too much power.
Leitrim Gaels by 6

Mohill (4/6) v St Mary's (6/4)
Not much mention of the 3 red cards Mohill got in their last league game. Rumour has it Keith Beirne is flying in training. Enough said.
St Mary's by 10


Intermediate

Bornacoola v Aughavas
Aughavas started the Div 1 league well, but the wheels came off with a boom. Bornacoola got promoted from Div 3 but are struggling in defence.
Aughavas by 5

Drumkeerin v Carrigallen
Home advantage should be enough for a solid Drumkeerin team.
Drumkeerin by 4


Junior A
Glenfarne Kiltyclogher v Ballinaglera
Ballinaglera should have too much.
Ballinaglera by 8

Aughnasheelin v Eslin
Eslin tanked the Div 2 league. Eslins battle will be to survive in Junior A.
Aughnasheelin by 15
