Defending champions Newcastle West are the bookies favourites as the 2023 Limerick Senior Football Championship approaches, with the side priced at 7/4. The Magpies are looking for their third title in a row, following their victories in 2021 and 2022.

Following last year’s finalists at three and four are Monaleen and Fr Caseys, with odds of 4/1 and 5/1 respectively.

St Kierans, who claimed the League title with a win over Monaleen on Wednesday evening are next on the list at 12/1.

A host of teams come in at 20/1 including Ballysteen and Oola who exited in the group stage last year, while Ballylanders were involved in the relegation final. Kildimo/Pallaskenry complete the 20/1 quartet, as they reached last year’s quarter finals in their first year at the grade.

Intermediate Champions Na Piarsaigh and Galtee Gaels are both priced at 33/1, while Claughaun, who went out in the group stages last year, are the championship outsiders at 40/1.
