BLACKROCK, Glen Rovers, Midleton and Bishopstown were all drawn together in the toughest Co-Op Superstores Premier Senior group after the 2023 club championship draws were made in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Champions St Finbarr's take on Sarsfields in Group C, while newly-promoted Fr O'Neill's face Erin's Own, Douglas and Charleville in a wide-open section.

Senior A will be as keenly contested as ever, with Group B, which includes Courcey Rovers, Ballyhea, Newcestown and Blarney, particularly interesting, while Premier Intermediate victors Inniscarra are in Group A along with relegated Na Piarsaigh.

There are no shortage of brilliant games to look forward to in the Bons Secours Premier Senior Football Championship, including Castlehaven clashing with west Cork rivals Clon and Rosscarbery in Group A, Ballincollig against neighbours Éire Óg in Group B and newly-promoted St Michael's meeting the Barrs in Group C.

Group A in the Senior A ranks looks extremly tricky, containing Knocknagree, Skibb, Kanturk and Fermoy, all viable contenders for promotion.
