What the predictions for the 4 leagues this year?

[jim22]

I reckon it will b alot tighter than other years with abbey gone,id say it will b between carbury, city, boyle, yeats and strand.

[mucker]

what about the other divisions, they all seem to be tight.

[red metal]

Its between City and Carbury but im going to go with City!

[mucker]

Ya it is between them, i wouldnt rule boyle out.

[red metal]

What kills Boyle,s title shot every year is the gaa.As soon as that starts back in feb or mar they seem to lose intrest.I just feel City wont concede as many goals tere very strong at the back with Packie Callaghan Simon Kelly and Paul Lynch.But Carbury will run them all the way!It should be very close though Keith Carty has found his scoring touch again for Carbury!

Looks like it will be a tight league. all the teams seem to be taking points off each other. Is this div more competitive than the super league. ( only the top few teams will always be there r there abouts. in the premier div any of the teams who put a run together could win it.

I mean if abbey were still toghther nobody would have a hope of getting near them.

This is a very competitive league. Last season there were only 3 points between the two playoff places, and any 8 teams still had a chance of promotion with 2 games to go. Rarely are games won by more than a goal. A very enjoyable league to compete in.. This season looks like it could be similiar.

[hodgie]

Sorry, it was 5 points between the playoff places; still, a pretty tight league:rolleyes:

who won the players of the year in all divisions last year

[keith.henn]

hodgie, are you all set for a battle on sunday morning?? the games between us are usually a frantic battle, should warm up what promises to be a cold sunday morning

[hodgie]

ya, I'm sure it'll be a quite timid affair as always!!. lookin forward to it, won't be competin myself tho, did my cruciate in the summer, so out for a while.

[keith.henn]

playing gaa where ya?? Big loss for Ballisodare, I always had you as the heartbeat of the team....ye are flying at the moment, we need the points for other obvious reasons, I hardly think our pitch will be playable on Sunday, hows your new pitch holding up???

I see ye got a handy draw in the Connacht Cup too, home to West united(top team in Galway), we got a soft one too, away to Castlebar Celtic... sometimes you'd wonder why you bother

[Shilts]

:ball:Any info on Strand Celtic? Big side? what are their pitch/facilities like?
