Sars definitely appear to have slipped a little but still wouldn't rule them out. Mind you the current management set up isn't a progressive move imo. Can't see Douglas (football distractions) or Newtown as real contenders either. Last 4 maybe but thats about it. Glen had a famous win last year but won't do back to back. Blackrock are a mystery to me at this stage. Seriously struggling to translate huge underage success into anything resembling a senior hurling team. Maybe it has to happen at some stage but very little evidence yet of an upturn in the fortunes. Don't think Barrs, Bride, Na Piarsaigh, Carrigtwohill, Ballyhea or Erins Own will really rattle it. That pretty much leaves the colleges and the divisions. Hard to know what you'll get with UCC/CIT as it totally depends on what players are available to them on any given day (which in itself is symbolic of a flawed system). Of the divisions, there's a bit of talk about Imokilly. The players are there if they can pull it all together. That's a big IF.................. In summary, my € is on Midleton.
