Is SK really on the panel, seems a bit strange. What is the youngest Ross like? Good footballer or what?

I think we will find it hard at the weekend. Harps will be bouyed by there gritty win against Mullaghbawn. If you add into that the goodwill that Holmesy will bring with him from Tyrones win, they will be confident. Cross are hardly an unknown so they will have to be at their best to win. I expect them to win but Harps will be somewhat of an unknown and being complete underdogs they will have to be minded.

I think the Ogs will win with a bit to spare. I think this is the year their name is on the cup and they would have to be favourites to win against Killeavey with some to spare. Killeavey may be on a good run but Ogs are a serious team. All over the field they will have too much class and if they an shackle McDonnell it will be a confortable win. My only fear for them is that they might find being such strong favourites a hard mantle to carry but I think they are mentally strong enough to deal with that.

Who do Cross play at the weekend?

Just a question BC1, when was the last time you saw Ogs play? I heard they were VERY average against Granemore, completely losing midfield and relying on a last minute goal to seal the victory. Again they didn't look great against the Harps in the drawn league game, I would definitely take Killeavey to win this game.

They still missing McKenna then?

Ulster, I would say would have a very strong line up, even after club championship ommisions, Tyrone contingent & International Rules contingent.

If S Kernan was on the Ulster panel as suggested earlier, then its not to strong. He is a good enough club player, possibly a bit part county man, but no where near the standard for Ulster.

Anyone at the match? Teams & scorers etc?

thebandit · September 25, 2008, 12:12:35 PM

I was at it, they didn't win by 16, not sure but I think it was 7/8.

Cross lined out Hearty; Ryan Carragher, Francie, Fiddler Finnegan; Aaron, Paul McKeown, Paul Kernan; Johnny Hanratty, Tony Mac; S Kernan, John Mac, Jamie Clarke; Mickey Mac, Cathal Short, Fish Aherne. Subs Used: John Murtagh, Micheal Traynor, Rico Kelly, James Hughes.

Not positively sure of the Ulster team, but Ronan Gallagher started in goals, with James Reilly playing the 2nd half. Shane Goan (I think) at Corner Back, Kevin McCloy was at FB, Gerard O'Kane and Aidan Carr were the wing backs, Kevin Cassidy and Marty McGrath were in MF, Dick Clerkin and Mark Little were Wing Forwards and Tommy Freeman was in the corner.

Good lively game, young Jamie Clarke played well for Cross, Paul McKeown was good at CHB, John Hanratty and John Mac were strong in the middle. They are some outfit.

bandit is Franie Mac not making the starting 15? There would be a few to add to that Cross team.

was he not flat out with all this stuff goin on with the U.S economy...

Jamie Clarke is an excellent player and is certainly going to be one for the future. Did not know James Hughes was back playing, used to be a class act but he went off the radar completely - don't see that in Cross much. Personally I would have Carragher and Fiddler pushing Paul Kernan for a starting place. with Aaron, Skinny and JD in the half-back line. Is Skinny still injured?
