I think the weather will have more than a major bearing on who comes out on top and will actually decide the destiny of the Sean Robbins.

If there’s been a week of rain and the ground is heavy then I think that plays into Shinrone’s hands particularly in SBP. However, if it’s a relatively dry week and the pitch is in good shape then I’d fancy KK to get over the line.

It would take something very special indeed for KK to beat Shinrone on heavy ground or Shinrone to beat KK on firm ground.

On the championship as a whole, it looks very much like KK, Shinrone and Ballinamere will be battling for titles over the next number of years while perennial contenders like Rynaghs, Belmont and Coolderry are going to fall away.

Heard the figure 4,000 would that be roughly correct?

2021 attendance was just over 2,900.

I'd estimate a crowd of 6 to 7 thousand people to attend this year's final.

In fairness to Birr they are pulling out all the stops and it promises to be a great weekend. The county final should really be an event rather than just the match. It had become stale in OCP. I found it appalling that there wasn't even a pre match parade last year. I'd expect a great buzz around the town for the weekend and Sunday could be a bumper day at the tills for the publicans on Connacht St.

Edit - Does anyone know what time throw in is?

Official figure announced at the final in 2022 was 5,793. I've it scribbled on last years final program.
Not sure why lads are trying to claim there were less there than that. The figure is what it is.
