Hide AdThere is no doubting the stand-out tie in the McFeely Group Intermediate Championship where Banagher and Foreglen meet in a game most would have expected to see in the final. There are Intermediate byes for Drum and Drumsurn while dark horse Steelstown face a Lissan team who have already beaten them in the league this season.
Elsewhere Slaughtmanus and Castledawson meet in a repeat of the 2014 decider that St. Mary's lose by a point while Faughanvale will be favourites against Ballerin and Desertmartin's meeting with Doire Trasna could go either way.
In the Premier Electrics Junior Championship it will be all about who can stop Limavady Wolfhounds and Ardmore have the unenviable task of starting their campaign against the favourites while Glack and Moneymore has the makings of an excellent clash.
The first round of the senior championship will take between September 7th-9th with the Intermediate's opening round on August 24th-26th and the Junior on August 10th-12th.
