Senior I think it will between kiltale, kilmessan and kildalkey! Inter drumree are haveing a great league run, I think they be right up there along with kells athboy and kilskyre. Junior I think it will between boarsdmill and st patricks. Other sider for senior I'll go with killyon.Inter I'll go for kiltale and junior I'll go for trim.

Usual suspects i'd say, Kiltale out in front, Kilmessan next and maybe Kildalkey third.

Dunboyne to maybe do well in the league/Davis cup and then smash some weak teams in the championship but then get found out when the heat is on against a quality team.

Navan I reckon are on the way down, they won a heap of U21s about 10 years ago but never capitalised and their team is getting old now.

Boardsmill and Longwood will put up a fight and spring a surprise or 2 but I wouldnt be confident of them winning. Have a feeling Longwood's lightning wont strike twice after last year.

Trim and Killyon seem to be motoring well in the league, if they could get their acts together and field their best teams they could be a match for the top 3 on their day in the championship.

Blackhall Gaels, Rathmolyon and Na Fianna to all try to avoid relegation. Na Fianna to finally go down to intermediate.

Someone on another post where on about Ashbourne hurlers going well in training and gonna make a big impact. They got hammered again dunderry in davis cup and no wins in league not looking good for them.

Senior kildalkey will go close so will most of the kil teams but if an outsider like long wood to do well either blackhall or Boardsmill for a few shocks
Intermediate drumree if dunderry bothered their rear end they would walk it
Junior surely Boardsmill can win it this year

Kiltale or Kildalkey for senior and the Mill for Junior.dont know who for intermeadiate but Dunderry should be close

@castlebravo How Na Fianna to finally go down this is there 8th senior ?

I'm aware Na Fianna have been senior a while, but they've had more or less the spine of the same team for most of those years and its getting older. Coupled with emigration (especially of Kirby), I wouldnt be confident. They reached the quarter finals in 2011 from a weak group but since then they havent been great.

In 2012 they won only one senior match and that was a league relegation playoff against Drumree, they lost all their championship matches and didnt have a playoff because Kells withdrew.

Last year was a bit better but the 3 teams they beat between League and Championship were Dunderry, Rathmolyon and Drumree, not awe inspiring stuff.

They could well prove me wrong be I just have a hunch that they will be the ones ushered through the trap door this year.

kiltale are a great bet at 2/1, by far the best players throughout their team. kilmessan won it last year be surprised if they do 2 in a row.. kildalkey are a very short price considering but they are not that far away. longwood have an easy group so 13/2 is value.
value bet for me is Kilyon at 18/1. each way.
They should get out of the group and will have easy quarter final against weak group runner up.
they will get to semi final and anything can happen from there on in as we all know.

The Odds have changed!! Checked on line last week and all odds were same bar Kildalkey were 100/30. "Village blues" must be feeling confident and backing themselves heavily!!!!!

Great price for kitale, kilmessan and kildakey. Its a tough one. I no dunboyne allways fold near end but there quiet in league might be a turn around who knows.

I heard dunderry are fairly talking there selfs up for the inter championship! Like every year I here they think they can walk it.

Very little said here on Wolfe Tones chances for the IHC, they must surely have a chance

I think Kilskyre will win IHC this year. They were unlucky last year. I think Blackhall Gaels will be relegated from Senior in first year. They just don't have a good enough team to mix it in senior grade.
