It’s Senior 1 and 2 now not A & B for the record. Group 1 is very open. Would not be shocked to see Barrog make the quarterfinals.
On paper group 3 is probably the toughest. Group 2 also pretty strong.
Very good draw there, a lot of well balanced groups,
Group 1 - is very open, depending on the Archer situation, Maurs would fancy themselves to go through. I’ll say Maurs & Annes
Group 2 - will have some good games as well, would fancy Plunketts to top the group and I’ll tip Lusk to sneak past Olafs into second
Group 3 - looks the hardest group, would have Clontarf as group favourites and second place is a toss of a coin, think Boughal might just scrape it but certainly wouldn’t be putting any money on it.
Group 4 - Think Brigids and Pats will go through here in first and second respectively. Will be a good game between them both as well. A good test for Pats to see how far along they are.
Makings of a good championship here
Group 2 - will have some good games as well, would fancy Plunketts to top the group and I’ll tip Lusk to sneak past Olafs into second
Lusk have played all 3 teams in their group in championship in recent years. Beat Olafs in the group phase of Senior 2 champo in 2019, and beat Marys in the 1/4 final same year. Beat OPER in their group in Senior 1 champo in 2021 (their only win in 2 years in Senior 1 champo).
Three repeat performances in this year’s competition would be most welcome!
