Dublin SHC 1 2023

Group game

With the form vins are in group 2 looks deadly.

Group1:

• Crokes
• Cuala
• Lucan

Group 2:

• Boden
• NaFianna
• Vins

A lot depends on how many are away for the summer. Whitehall, Brigids, Faughs and OPER going to struggle for results v the opt teams probably.

Bye held their own last year

OPER will be delighted to start with boden again this year.

Some seriously tasty games in there, hopefully, early rounds are not as impacted as last year with absentees, felt the championship wasn't as high standard as the last few years.

They showed 2 per round last year, assume they'll do the same again, games typically get between 2,000 and 8,000 views on YouTube which shows what a massive marketing tool they are (when you consider there's usually only a few hundred at the games).

Ideally, they'd do even more, SHC2 or 3 would be great.

Only 4 weeks to the start of this. Really looking forward to it.

So dubs can play in the final? 😅

Hopefully yeah, would be a real blow if he's not available for the group stage. Likely miss the nice easy opener against vins ... they have a bye the following week so hopefully he'll be right for the following games.

Hopefully hayes is back for crokes as well
