The bookies have installed Down as favourites for Division Three and after their run to McKenna Cup glory who can blame them? Some young players have staked a claim for inclusion in his League team with Luke Howard impressing in some challenge matches and for Queen's University. Packie Downey should feature at the edge of the square, alternating with Cathal Magee during the League and Burren's Kevin McKernan and Rostrevor's Colm Murney were also impressive during their January success.

Jody Gormley has named an experienced side for Sunday's clash with Wicklow; only Michael Pollack will be making his NFL debut. Last year's League proved a defensive nightmare with the Saffron's conceding 4-9 against Wicklow, 2-11 against Meath, 2-14 against Wexford and 3-10 against Cavan and Gormley will be hoping his defence can shape up this year.
