Trevor Fletcher's side will be defending county champions for the first time.
Shinrone's preparations for their first year as county champions are moving in to a new phase.
Last year's senior hurling title winners will be joined by Belmont, Tullamore, Coolderry, and Kinnitty in group two of division one of the hurling league in Offaly.
Shinrone were 0-26 to 2-13 winners in the county final against Kilcormac-Killoughey to win their first senior championship.
Fletcher says there's something special about the start to this season for the club:
