GROUP C

Westerns

Manager: Cathal O’Hanlon Go-to-guy: Tommy Durnin Group rivals: Cuchulainn Gaels & Wolfe Tones 2017: Quarter-final Verdict: Will be hot favourites to top this group with a bit to spare, but can’t take Wolfe Tones for granted after the Drogheda men made a solid start in the league.

Cuchulainn Gaels

Manager: TBA Go-to-guy: Cian McDonald Group rivals: Westerns & Wolfe Tones 2017: Group stages Verdict: Look to be the outside bet in this group with Wolfe Tones showing some decent form in Division 3 and Westerns the group favourites.

Wolfe Tones

Manager: Malachy O’Rourke Go-to-guy: Gerard McSorley Group rivals: Geraldines & St Patrick’s 2017: Group stages Verdict: Will fancy a pop at Westerns, but even if they don’t cause an upset they will be a warm order to see of the Gaels and progress to the last eight.
