Replying To Spinx:  "Really???!!!! Well considering we're Intermediate then that is very likely!!
But I just don't get the Rathcline supporters building their team up as challengers when there is probably a better chance of us winning another senior title before ye do!!
Rathcline are a one man team who when marked properly, they never win.
When they came up against Clonguish and Killoe last year, they were beat out the gate.
As bad as we were last year, we were not too far away from ye as ye got 2 jammy goals!

Championship favourites
1. Killoe
2. Colmcille
3. Abbeylara
4. Clonguish
5. Granard
6. Mullinalaghta
7. Carrickedmond
8. Dromard
9. Slashers
10. Rathcline
11. Ardagh/Moydow"
You have a bee in your bonnet about Rathcline for some reason. They are not a bad team when they have their full compliment and I don't think it's fair to say they are a one man team. They are a bit off the top teams alright but they wouldn't want to be taken for granted come championship. They are streets ahead of Drumlish anyway, I don't know what you are talking about re jammy goals in last years championship match. Rathcline had that match won after 15 mins, you could have gone home.

He is playing down his own clubs chances as usual. A team with all the talent at their disposal and he ranks them fourth.

No bee in my bonnet. Just don't understand how their supporters think they are top 5 or 6 in the county. They are not. Now in about 10 years they might be, as they have a decent under 14 team at the minute. But they will have to keep thosr guys playing, easier said than done. Mark Oran Kenny and 10 times out of 10, they will lose. Just telling it how it is.

Not playing down my teams chances at all. Just look at our league form this season. We won't be near winning championship this year.

Killoe, Colmcille and Abbeylara have the best mix of talent, experience and physicality. Clonguish may have lots of talent but still have only experience of losing in pearse park and lack size, look at 2 of there best players on the county u21 team, very skilful forwards but the 2 smallest lads on the team
