Reigning champions St Vincent’s beging their title defence against Round Towers on Saturday evening, while 2016 All-Ireland champions Ballyboden St Enda’s play St. Oliver Plunkett’s/Eoghan Ruadh in the game of the round on the opening night.
That game will be part of a double-header at Parnell Park on Thursday night, with St. Jude’s v Naomh Mearnog acting as the curtain-raiser.
Michael Darragh Macauley and Conal Keaney will go into battle against the Brogan brothers, Bernard and Alan, and with former Kerry star Paul Galvin.
Galvin completed his transfer to the Plunketts over the winter and looks set to make his senior championship debut against Ballyboden.
The competition has a straight knockout format, with the losers of the Round 1 games going into the Senior ‘B’ Football Championship.
