The Konica

I'd take a piece of that.

Clontibret aren't bad - but I do think it'll be close.

Clontibrets biggest problem is that according to the results in their run through Monaghan - no one got near enough to touch them at all.

Clontibret have the Mone's, your man Corey and Conor McManus seems to be hitting big totals every game for them. They won't be easy beat.

Not trying to take anything away from Dromore by the way, think they're a very good team and will be a tough proposition for anyone. And certainly not trying to play ourselves up, but I must admit I was a bit surprised at how some people think Dromore have it in the bag and are talking up a Dromore-Galls semi already(not specifically talking about here). Looking forward to the game and I think both teams are at that stage now that they're ready for a serious crack at Ulster after a few good years in their county championships.

The Konica, in the semi and final we won by good scores in the end alright(though we were behind at half time in the semi and it was a fantastic effort to turn it around), but I believe the turning point for us was the games against Blayney. Now they were real battles, we only got won by 2 pts after a replay and extra time. The replay was one of the best games I've seen in the county for a good while and that test has stood us in good stead ever since, and gave us great confidence to win the following two games, scoring well in the process. Step up now anyway, should be a good contest.

Ah yes - just checked the scores again - Castlebaney must have been good

Schkite, take a look at all the scores from  some of the winners. St Galls, Cavan Gaels and the Donegal champs, they sailed through their county games. Come the Ulster championship teams rarely score more than 1-12.

Eh, that's nothing to do with the original point I was making. The only reason I was talking about scores is because Konica was saying noone got close to us, and I was saying that the Blayney game was very tight and gave us confidence for the next two games. I'm well aware of the low-scoring nature of Ulster games.

Clontibret are favs with most bookies and are the biggest movers in the outright all ireland and ulster betting, so i don't think there's too many (with much of a clue) talking about the 'dream' semi between galls and dromore.

Well Dromore would have to be favourites now anyway, JP Mone and Conor McManus out injured. :-\ Two big men to be missing, it leaves a big gap both in midfield and attack.

I wish I was joking! Not sure just how bad the injuries are but to be ready in a week is asking too much.
