Balyna for Minor Championship, very strong physically and with Edenderry experience and Cribben and Hurley on fire they can go all the way, injuries to key players would be a worry, apart from that they have a t least 8 top class footballers. Saw them in a league game after Edenderry had lost final and some of the football they played was incredible.

Balyna should be hot favourites for minor A chamoionship.
I'd say Na Fianna could win B.
As for u16 A , Athy should walk it.
St.Kevins look strong and should win u16 B.

Maynooth for Minor A championship quality team
Athy for U 16

Maynooth dont have a hope at minor. Balyna will walk all over them

I think dis years minor championship is de most open in many years after moorefield and manooth going so wel in de league and then with balyna, athy and maybe naas coulds b dare in de shampionship also.
For the u16s i think its a toss between athy celbridge and clane and depending on the teams they are drawn against i can see them being 3 of the 4 semi finalists with castledermot or naas being the other...

boggerman u haven't got a clue if u think Balyna are going to win minor championship that easy,there are plenty of contenders,Naas, Clane,Moorefield,Sarsfields,Athy, and Maynooth althought there a bit arrogant up there,just because they won the League they think they will do well,although I was talking to one of there members last week and he told me there more interested in drink than football.Between OXYGEN and Holidays they wont have much of a team.So i reckon it could Naas this group of lads won U16 championship and Feile. As for U16 championship Athy or Ceilbridge.

With the draw now made for the Minor Championship, how about some predictions on the matches/pairings in the A,B, and C first round encounters..
Maybe as a light break from the Exams.. heard first round fixed for the 8/7 subject to County Minors v Meath..
