Football returns: 31 matches down for decision
All-County Football League commences
The long wait is over and the All-County Football Leagues finally throw in this weekend, with a feast of action in store.
In Division 1, the meeting of champions Castlerahan and 2018 runners-up Crosserlough looks like the tie of the round, with the local derby between Lacken and Gowna and the clash between Killygarry and Kingscourt also sure to be of huge interest.
In Division 2, Cuchulainns and Denn, who are among the favourites for the intermediate and junior championships respectively, meet in Mullagh while in Division 3, there are a number of tasty matches down for decision.
In all, 38 clubs will take part in the revised, shortened leagues. Killinkere have opted out while Corlough, under a deviation from rule, are not fielding this year; their players will line out with Swanlinbar.
Ramor United field two teams, one in Division 1 and one in Division 2. In all, there will be 31 senior and reserve matches.
Capacity at matches is limited to 200, including players, mentors and officials. See tomorrow’s print issue for more.
