I think the senior groups are well matched to be honest. No real group stands out at being the toughest.

Yeah I'd agree with that. People will have their own opinions on how they rate teams but I have them groups pretty much identical really.

Even enough groups alright, on current form it should be Don /Ash and Summerhill along with Tones in group A, Simonstown and Moynalvey for me in group B with the third place between O Mahoneys and St Colmcilles, Group C is arguably the toughest to call with Dunboyne and a battle between Ratoath, Na Fianna, St Pats and Skryne. I will go for Ratoath and Na Fianna. Relegation I think will be between Rathkenny, Blackhall and Dunshaughlin with Rathkenny to go down and Dunboyne to claim Keegan. Form at the right time is important and given that the championship will really only begin in mid august, a lot could change before then.......

The teams that won the last 3 championships are in Group B, so it has to be toughest. Now how many come out of each grouping will also be a deciding factor on how difficult the Group is.

The groups in the intermediate championship are very even and little to separate most of the teams.
The way I see the groups panning out are:
Group A
Dunderry
Trim
Ballinlough
St Michaels
Longwood
Drumbaragh

Group B:
Ballinabrackey
Curraha
Castletown
Bective
Ballivor
Kilmainham

Group C:
Walterstown
Syddan
Nobber
Oldcastle
Asbourne
St Ultans

Where are those odds from Dunboynelad? Looking at it, I reckon Moynalvey e/w at 16s could be a bit of value.

They are way off with O Mahoneys, should be 12/1 and Tones are generous at 20/1 should be around 9 /1

Think 8/1 for Ratoath is ridiculous. Can't see how we're that short when the likes of Na Fianna are 14/1.
I think in general the likes of PP have very little knowledge of local GAA meaning there's a lot of value to be had.
