Men’s 5XI Season Preview

Captain: N/A

Last Season: 6th in Leinster League, Winners of the Minor Cup

Preview: The fifths finished mid-table in the league but had little interest in it after Christmas given their Minor Cup exploits. With relegation impossible and a league challenge out of reach, attention turned to the cup where they won the trophy with a 1-0 win over Fingal 4 in North Kildare. Eddie O’Malley setting up his nephew Ryan for the winner there. Last year’s Captain John Roche has retired from the position on that note and a new replacement will be found before the seasons starts. The 5th team will be looking to move from Division 9 with a top two finish and a successful defence of their Minor Cup.
