DEFENDING Bandon Co-op Carbery junior A football champions Kilmacabea have discovered the first part of their journey to back-to-back titles – they must negotiate a group with Argideen Rangers, Randal Óg and Kilmeen. Donie O’Donovan’s side will be fancied to top Group 2 and indeed are one of the favourites to win the championship.
