team that has'nt got a vote out of the 10 so far is Limerick. Do peop really think that (no Offence meant here !) the likes of Dundalk, Athlone or Cobh will really win the 1st Division ?

Not a chance in hell !

It's between Bray, College and Harps with Galway, Kildare and possibly Sligo making up the numbers

Can't disagree with that. I'd imagine my two omissions wouldn't have got a vote either though!

Just curious - why all the excitement about Galway? They were mid-table last season, a long way off the play-offs, had a woeful defence and their one saving grace was a 25-goal-a-season player who's now left. Why do people think they'll do well?

They've bought well.

For what it's worth here's how I see things panning out

1. Bray
2. UCD
3. Finn Harps
4. Galway United
5. Kildare County
6. Dundalk
7. Sligo Rovers
8. Cobh Ramblers
9. Limerick
10. Athlone Town
11. Monaghan United
12. Kilkenny City

I reckon thats how it'll look at the end of the season as well - Well the top half anyway. Not sure where Limerick will finish though ? It's to hard to say because of the squad they have at the moment etc..... Players jumping ship etc.....

1. Bray

i vote Cobh and i believe we will finish in the top 4 we under achieved last year but we have a fue new players linked to us such as Colin P O'Brien

Dundalk for me

Reckon Haylock and Geoghegan are going to distroy other first division defences plus they have played together from their time from shels.

Galway for runners up spot,-great signings,
Bray for third place and Finn Harps fourth.
UCD will finish just outside the play offs spots.

Not impressed with Sligo- from our friendly with them Alvin Rouse looks dodgy and has an awful kickout. Think Athlone need an extra season and maybe they will do well the next season.
