The nine teams have been split into two groups with the best two teams going into the knockout rounds and the bottom club going into a relegation playoff.

This county championship will certainly attract the eyes of many Gaelic games enthusiasts across the county and throughout the country.

It will serve as a marker of current standards within the county and given that the Tipperary senior team seems to be getting better and better, gaining ground on the top-three every year, the contest at club-level should be quality entertainment.

Drom & Inch come into this year’s competition as reigning champions and heavy favorites to lift the trophy again.

An underdog to root for in this championship would be Cashel who keeps improving each year and are hungry for some silverware.

With the eyes of Tipperary and the county senior management watching, it will be interesting what players emerge as real powers.

Setanta sailed back into the final with a convincing semi-final win over Burt. The final scoreline was 3-18 to 2-11 but Burt’s two majors were more of a consolation. David Flynn, Kevin Campbell, and Michael Donoghue found the net for the holders. By the third minute of the second half, it was 1-12 to 0-05 and Setanta cruised back into the final from there.

Meanwhile, St. Eunan’s earned a return to the final with an impressive display against Buncrana. Defence was key as a clean sheet meant their own two goals put them out of reach. Kevin Keeley and Conor O’Grady were the ones raised the green flags. Then, when Buncrana went down to fourteen in the remaining minutes, St. Eunan’s saw out the game with relative ease.

Since this Setanta side are no strangers to the heat of a final, experience could be key. However, the opposition have nothing to lose and can take the game to the reigning champions. Donegalgaa.ie are live streaming the final for fans who wish to tune in. If both sides can continue their Championship form this far, the showdown will be a cracker.

Recently, it’s always been Carrick Hurling who have come out on top. In fact, a win this weekend will make it four championships in a row. Firstly, they defeated Cluainin Iomaint last year by 1-20 to 0-20. Secondly, it was 2-07 to 0-7 in 2018. Thirdly, it was 3-11 vs 0-08 in 2017. 2016 was the last time Cluainin Iomaint were crowned the champions. On that occasion, it was 0-14 to 0-06.

As a result of the trend that has developed in recent years, this final always promises to bring a battle. Despite winning three-in-a-row, Carrick Hurling always have to dig deep to defeat Cluainin Iomaint. But the latter will consider it more than about time they retained the title.

Since this is such a small competition, in terms of the teams competing for it, the runners-up are always so tantalisingly close. Therefore, Cluainin Iomaint will be more driven than ever. But, don’t expect Carrick Hurling to just hand over their title.

Leitrim SHC Final: Cluainin Iomaint vs Carrick Hurling, Saturday 3rd October, 3.30pm (Avantcard Pairc Sean MacDiarmada).

Turloughmore are the favourites to go through against Loughrea. They topped Group 2 with strong performances, regardless of losing a game to Clarinbridge. On the other hand, Loughrea qualified as Group 1 runners up thanks to their points difference. Being underdogs in this game could work in their favour. With nothing to lose, expect them to bring the game to Turloughmore.
