Will it be the Gaels' title to lose?

Coming into this championship, it's fair to say that the top five clubs in the senior championship were generally viewed, in no particular order, as Kingscourt, Cavan Gaels, Mullahoran, Ramor United and Ballinagh, writes Paul Fitzpatrick. Kingscourt were the champions and viewed as prime contenders to retain the Oliver Plunkett Cup. Cavan Gaels were, well, Cavan Gaels, seven-time champions in recent years and very much on a revenge mission after being stunned by the Stars in last year's final. For the rest, see this week's Celt.
