Just a few rounds left in the county league. With elimination already in the Tailteann and in the All Ireland the weekend after next, a few club championships won't be too far from starting up.

Most Counties wont get started into club championship until August, regardless of when their county gets knock out.

In Mayo, summer holiday break is now part of the club players life. Even if Mayo were out on 14th June - Club football Championship wont be starting early.
They will run off the Hurling championship in the next few weeks to get it out of the way.

All Ireland finalists St Brigid's made a flying start to their Roscommon SFC title defence. Hoganstand reports that they were in impressive form as they saw off Michael Glaveys by 1-24 to 0-12.
The hurling championship in Kerry has been completed out of the way. 12 consecutive weekends of football on the way!

Club is King! It's great to see all the football championships getting underway!
Intermediate All Ireland winners An Ghaeltacht marked their return to the senior grade with a win. Senior All Ireland winners Dingle lost to Rathmore. Senior Club winners Dr Crokes also got off to a winning start.
Dr Crokes and Dingle will clash in Round 2. A defeat for Dingle would potentially put them in a Round 3 clash to avoid the relegation final. An action packed August!

Club football in the Tyrone Division 1 league keeps getting weirder. The 3 biggest towns in Tyrone, Omagh, Dungannon and Coalisland are sitting bottom, 2nd and 3rd from bottom. All 3 can go down and all 3 have won the championship in recent years.

Bizarre alright. Good to get an insight into what is happening in another county. Be interesting to see how it plays out.

Last year's county finalists Austin Stacks got off to a winning start. Round 1 losers need a good response next week or they'll be facing the restored relegation playoffs now that the expansion of the championship completed last year.

Straight knockout in Tyrone, one of the bottom 3 needs to win the championship to stay up.
