Second teams will have a big impact in this years junior championship, especially if a team have a few very good minors that are ineligible to play county competitions
True. You'd imagine Michael's will be strong favourites in the city though.Carbery was the only division that had a close divisional final in 2023. The winners in each division won very easy. You’d expect most of those winners to come through again in 2024 but with players other commitments that might not pan out at all.
Depends on how they go at senior and how many of the group are involved. Apparently, there is an about 5 of last years seniors out this year due to travel etc, add in a few injuries during the year etc and as all of that impacts further down your junior panel won’t be long thinning out.True.

It’s an interesting oneSecond teams will have a big impact in this years junior championship, especially if a team have a few very good minors that are ineligible to play county competitions
Not so much individual players , was just looking at how successful Eire og and in particular the havens u17’s were last year, surely 2/3 players from both teams can improve their respected adult second teamsIt’s an interesting one
But at the moment I can’t think of any minor that is so good that they could win a clubs 2nd team team a junior county.
In the past, I think U18s actually didn’t feature so well at junior level, most struggled, but they did much better at the higher grades where the game is more open and faster.
Have you a few players in mind that can impact the junior championship in 2024?
The Haven are nowhere near winning Junior in West Cork. You have junior matches down there where you might have 5-6 + players who have played Cork senior or 20s.Not so much individual players , was just looking at how successful Eire og and in particular the havens u17’s were last year, surely 2/3 players from both teams can improve their respected adult second teams
Who do you think will win both the west cork and county? I’m not saying haven will win it, still think Barryroe will retain it and between them and killavullen for county IMOThe Haven are nowhere near winning Junior in West Cork.

I don’t recall minors ever propelling a 2nd team to win a county?
I don’t know, but I very much doubt it will be a 2nd team will win either.Who do you think will win both the west cork and county? I’m not saying haven will win it, still think Barryroe will retain it and between them and killavullen for county IMO
