Achtung Mullet - you taking one of our lads? Word is he is off to you. A forward.

Mullet's great "April Fooled Ya" Crosbie is going to be player coach in Belvo.

Stop buying players and you won't need to rob little old ladies in the village.

Clontarf spending ALL the money this year on 20s and 1s. Seem to have brought half of the AIL Trinity team from last year over.

Gus and Marty were finished with their degrees already. Jack, Courts and Paddy are all done by this stage, too. There's usually an exodus of senior players every 2-3 years given the college nature of the team.
Great that Marty's back playing after retiring just after Munster signed him.


That's a serious amount of talent and experience to replace in a team, though. Good business by Tarf, mind.

Belvo spending a right whack of cash money too.

Trinity been very savy with their 20s signings I was told.

They usually need to be!

It has probably helped them to no end that they've had a good run of consecutive seasons in 1A when it comes to attracting top level players out of school.

Naas also making a big push - taking 2/3 lads from Lansdowne.

But Lansdowne did sign Harry Byrne.

How much game time will they get from him?

With Leinster's 10 stocks looking rather sketchy, he'll probably be around the match day 23 a lot.

Who's Frawley signed up with?

Frawley still UCD I assume?

Yeah - but they still have Scott Deasy so should be fine.

As above though - Clontarf smashing money into their teams this season.

Dublin Port and Sherry Fitz were always sponsors of Tarf but the main sponsors now are Willis, Ulster Bank, MSL motors, New Ireland and Clontarf Castle. It's a good line up. Wonder is John Teeling looking after his club?

Rainey for us at home

We came 3rd to their 2nd last year and lost in playoff up there.

Considering Crescent smashed the league without losing a game be a good gauge for us too.

I was at both Barnhall Crescent games last year (know the Crescent 13 very well - so made sense) and Brendan Guilfoyle was outstanding in both games. Looked like he was playing 2 leagues down....

RABA!

Not sure how Armagh will do this year. A few signings and a couple of the Royal School boys have signed. Would be great to stay up.
