Rhode head in to this campaign looking for a 32nd SFC title.
The favourites for the Offaly Senior football Championship can be narrowed down to four teams.
That's according to Kevin Corrigan from the Tullamore Tribune ahead of the first round of this year's championship which is set to get underway this Friday night.
Rhode secured their 31st title last season with a one point win over Tullamore in the decider.
The defending champions will begin their hunt for back-to-back titles against Edenderry, while beaten finalists Tullamore face off against Ferbane.
Corrigan gives his perspective to Midlands 103 on Offaly's senior outfits:
