Some football club championships have probably started already. Not too long to go now before all county championships are in full swing. I suppose the defending provincial winners will be the early favourites to go far.

Replying To Saynothing: "From a Tyrone point, it's 20 years from a team won back to back championships, a lot of good teams and yes Errigal should win but not without a fight."
From a Dublin point of view I think Crokes are probably on the decline now so although they may win Dublin I just can't see them winning Leinster. It was interesting to see Theo Clancy as Croke's sole representation on the Dublin panel for most of the championship. I had heard a few more opted out but surely given their recent success they should have a handful of lads involved at county level..
After Crokes you're probably only really looking at Ballyboden and maybe Na Fianna as realistic challengers.
