It's Croghan's to lose basically. If they play anywhere near their normal game they should edge out the Island.
Either way it's a new senior team for East Offaly, with Edenderry managing to avoid the relegation.

Re: intermediate football champ
Can't see Croghan being beaten.
They deservedly hammered Doon, albeit a Doon team with serious injury issues, but even a fully fit Coughlan and Ryan wouldn't have been enough to do any more than keep Doon within four or five.
This is the same Doon team that comfortably beat Birr - and the only difference between Birr and Walsh Island was (1) Alan Mulhall produced on the day while Seán Ryan never got going, and (2) Noel Cooney absolutely twisted the knife into Birr at every opportunity. Appalling refereeing with every dodgy call going WI's way, as well as several that weren't dodgy, they were just plain wrong.
Anything better than 1/2 and Brigids are a max bet.
