Summary: When on form, Monkstown are probably the most attractive side to watch - the second half of their club championships encounter against Annadale was one 
of the highlights of last season. Their zippy running game is well suited to their young side. Indeed, nine of the side that started against Naas was under 25 and they definitely have time on their side. After a comprehensive preseason that has taken in Cookstown and Cork (drawing with C of I and losing 6-4 to Harlequins), as well as a visit from Mossley (1-1), they will be there or thereabouts in the mini-league with Rovers and Fingal for the All-Ireland places. Their defence needs a bit tightening, though, and if their passing goes awry it could see dropped points against more aggressive opponents. To that end, Rory O’Donoghue has been added to the coaching staff and for the squad’s conditioning.
First three games: Bray (a); Corinthian (h); Glenanne (h)
Prediction: 5th

I know I might be biased cause I like play for the town, but as last years skipper I feel the town are heading a direction that could make us the surprise package in the leinster league but also the club championships. Also, Gar has this new amazing stick!
