I hear ye Navy....I know what you mean. My hopes for this season would be that we can be consistent in our performances (the good ones that is!) and that we show an improvement in our mentality when facing the big boys.

Derry will win thisone in my opinion. Derry take the league much more seriosly than Dublin do. Dublin will play an experimental team as usual.

dubs are still tryin out players and have yet to find their best 15, on that basis i'll go for derry in this one by 4 points.

A point or two either way.I don't think it'll be like last year and both teams are trying out new players.

Someone said Dublin are still trying players. Derry bt Tyrone on saturday night with 11 players that didn't start the c'ship game against Tyrone in the Ulster semi final last June. make no mistake Derry are in experimental mode and team rebuilding also.

Can someone please tell me where the notion comes that Derry take the league seriously? Last year we ended up in a league final by pure and utter fluke as Galway lay down and completely folded against Kerry. On Saturday Night, on Saturday, 9 of the starting 15 didn't start against Tyrone in the championship and a further two who didn't start in the championship came on as subs. The fact that we grind out results in the league doesn't mean take the league seriously, so i wish people would get rid of that notion. Like us, Kerry have contested the last 2 league finals and won 1 of them, no one saying they take the league seriously.

If Cassidy sticks with the same starting 15 (any word on wilkinsons ankle) I would expect Derry to do well so I am picking Derry by 2 points.
