Shades of 2022. The Barrs are again the form-team and favourites. Titles bestowed on them because of their six-goal quarter-final spectacular against champions Castlehaven.

The difference to 2022 is that the Barrs’ campaign-lifting win over the Haven came a round earlier on this occasion, with the mood and expectations out in Togher subsequently tempered by a creative-lite opening half against Ballincollig.
