Welcome to my new section for this year. I call it "Champo Watch". A number of teams are beginning (or have begun!) their championship campaigns, and I hope to track all teams in championship action. Mentors: Here's where you can help. If you have a result or fixture, let me know so I can include it. I really want to ensure that all teams are covered, so get on those whatsapps. Don't know my number? Well, I'm not publishing it here. Drop me a mail at pro@stvincentsgaa.ie, and I can send you it.
So, let's see where we're at, shall we?
