Time for Ballydonoghue to make their move up

OF all the divisions this is quite possibly the most difficult on in which to come to a decision about who might go up and who might go down.

Some of the teams we’ve tipped (tentatively) for the drop could well find themselves up the other end of the table by the end of eleven rounds. These teams, at this stage at least, appear very well matched.

We’d have a certain amount of confidence in Ballydonoghue to claim one of the three promotion spots – along with a Laune Rangers side determined to live up to the traditions of that great club – but after that everything is up for grabs.

We suspect that Finuge might be in trouble because of how well their hurlers are going at the moment – they will contend for a county hurling title – and maybe Lispole or Keel might find the going tough in the higher division.

St Senans, meanwhile, could make fools of us. They’ve got some great young players, but we can’t ignore how they struggled during last year’s campaign. PROMOTED: Ballydonoghue, Laune Rangers, Waterville RELEGATED: Finuge, Lispole, St Senans
