When the 3-a-sides kick off later this month, McConnells trio Jeff Moore, Johnny Mackay and Wayne Lewis will be looking to win the title for the 3rd year in a row. It will be a difficult task though, and 5 Corners trio Ali Wilson, Michael Wilson and Stephen Herron will pose a massive threat. Others to watch out for will be McNeilly, Campbell and Wallace as well as Neeson, McConnell and Britton. Grinders trio Carson, McMeekin and Whiteside will also fancy their chances.
