Group B
-
Ladyswell Saturday
Facing into their third season Ladyswell Saturday were unlucky to miss out on a cup final last season and were also well placed in the Celtic cup were they where a semi finalist. Big things are expected of this group of players.

Cabra Celtic
Another team from the Sunday League Cabra and Ladyswell have met on a number of occasions. Cabra finished well in division 1 Sunday last season and will be a prospect for the title.
-
Smithfield Fc
A side who could only be described as a Tottenham Hotspur from the 90's a brilliant cup side. Smithfield were quite successful in the cup competitions last season and were at times a surprise package in the league
-
Finglas Athletic
Ladyswell's Nemesis but also a team that has a great relationship with our club. Finglas have been runners up two years in a row in division three Saturday and once again are tipped to be near the top at the business end of the season.
