As i said previously when talking about u21 hurling its impossible to play these competitions at time to satisfy people, earlier in the summer leaving cert is a problem, now this is a problem, later in the year weather is the problem.

Will be interesting to see how many who got what they wanted at the time of the vote will now be giving out about the very thing they voted for.

Senior
Crossabeg v Castletown - Castletown comfortably
Anne's v Sars - This might be tighter than expected, draw game
Barntown v Bunclody - Are Barntown minus as many players as they were for the hurling. Bunclody were poor at hurling too, so tentatively Barntown
St James v Gusserane- Gusserane have had more time to prepare with the Jimmies having played to extra time periods in two weeks. Gusseranne, although I'd fancy Jimmies to go further in championship
Fethard v Shels- Shels, Fethard missing too many from last years squad
Starlight v Kilanerin- Starlights, I'm not convinced by Kilanerin
Title - "Throws finger in air" - Castletown, Shels and outside squeak to St James. Very open championship. If Fethard had have kept everyone from last year I'd have fancied them. In the same way that if St Martins come up this year from intermediate, they'll be one of the fav's to win Senior next year.
Relegation - A dogfight between the Sars (who will prob win the relegation final), Bunclody and Barntown. I think the Sars will survive, I'll go with Bunclody for the drop.
Intermediate
Clongeen v Gorey - Who will have recovered more from the weeks celebrations! Gorey should be close to winning this grade nearly so will go with them
Taghmon v Ferns - Will Ferns commit to football, with the split season you would imagine they will. Taghmon maybe just for this though
Mary's v Martins - Martins clearcut favourites to win it out. Win here by 5-6 points
St Fintans v Horeswood - Horeswood beaten finalists last year. Will have far too much for Fintans
Cushinstown v Adamstown - Local derby, Adamstown cam up last year and had a good run in Leinster (I think) so will give them the vote by the narrowest of margins.
Ballyhogue v Bannow - Both have been towards the lower end of intermediate over the last few years, but two talented sides if can get their house in order. I'll tentatively say Ballyhogue by 2-3 points. Providing the hangover from the hurling isn't too bad!
Title is between Martins, Horeswood and Gorey. Martins should be strong enough to win it if they put the effort in.
Relegation will be whoever finishes bottom of the weaker group, toss up between Adamstown, Ballyhogue, Fintans and Bannow. Would worry for Fintans with Shanley and Pettit not around.

Senior:
St Annes v Sarsfields- Annes by 2 or 3
Glynn v Bunclody- Both hit by players away, Martin O'connor arguably the biggest individual loss to a club in either code, Glynn to shade it
Castletown v Crossabeg- Castletown but I think it could be tight
Kilanerin v Starlights- Kilanerin, think they need and could push on this year.
Fethard v Shels- Shels, aside from lads away Fethard had a few carrying injuries in the Intermediate SF so wouldn't be surprised if they 1 or 2 back looking at the bigger picture
Gusserane v St James- Gusserane could struggle down bodies but St James will surely feel some effects of a grueling knockout stage in hurling, just about go with Gusserane
Intermediate:
Martins v Maudlintown- Martins comfortably enough
Ballyhogue v Bannow- Both could be down the lower end of the ladder in the grade, Ballyhogue by 2 or 3
Cushinstown v Adamstown- Cushinstown by 4
Horeswood v St Fintans- Horeswood comfortably
Taghmon v Ferns- Both capable of getting to the last 4, going with the draw
Clongeen v Gorey- Gorey could challenge the Martins if they put their mind to it, think they should win here.

Anne's v Sars: Agree could be tight, Anne's only finished hurling last weekend, They might just have enough, depending on who sars have available
Glynn v Bunclody:'Bunclody to win by 3 seem to be putting more of an emphasis on football
Crossabeg v Castletown: Castletown easily have been training hard I believe
Kilanerin v starlight's:Kilanerin will be well set up starlights could be missing a few.
Fethard v shels : gonna call a draw Fethard on a roll back up from intermediate
Gusseranve v st james: gusserane to win st James will be fatigued after their hurling run

Hopefully they will take it easy!!!

Enough to make many county semi finals in recent years along with a couple of finals. Should win intermediate

Funny how I come to these posts about St. Martin's straight after the other thread where talk is about clubs having a preference for one over the other.
Think it's fair to say that overall, there'd be a preference in St. Martin's for hurling. But they're still a highly capable club in football, particularly at intermediate level, and to claim they've no interest in it is way off the mark.
For what it's worth, other intermediate football clubs in much the same boat might be Naomh Éanna and Ferns. Both also with a preference overall for hurling, but both also capable of being contenders at this level in football if they have the right resolve and if things fall nicely for them.

Intermediate will be a dogfight again. Gorey had some really good young footballers when we played them last year. Cooke Leonard was particularly impressive when he came on. Probably less than half their starting team was on their hurling 1st team though. I think Ferns had a larger crossover. Although apparently this year Gorey will too.
