I expect this to be a lot closer than a lot of people expect. With so much at stake, finals tend to take on a life of their own and the fact that there is no real form line with clubs, it's hard to know what to expect. I think Glens experience and greater physicality might just about win the day but it wouldn't be a major shock if St Brigids won it either.

The big advantage Glen have is in that middle third of the pitch where they are very strong whilst Brigids in the games I have watched look to have the more dangerous inside forwards.

i know tg4 have done great things for club coverage but in reality this game should be on about 5pm on saturday on rte

There is now a named storm Isha on Sunday and it will be windy at the final, and likely wet as well. 
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Dublin usually avoids the worst of the storms but will likely be very windy, hopefully such weather doesn't ruin the two All Ireland finals. Expected attendance is 20,000 could be well down on that with the forecast.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

We played a final in Croke with a swirling wind and it was freezing too.. Not nice as a supporter, even worse for the lads on the pitch, Croke pitch can generate a difficult wind for free takers

Really looking forward to Sunday. Are Sleacht Neill the only Derry wans who can speak the Gaeilge for the post match agallamh on TG4 ? Does Bronagh have any Gaeilge ?

A lot of talk about how young St brigids are but are they any younger than Glen?

100km/hr winds forecast for Sunday, could ruin both games unfortunately.

Did KC (I think) not play Bellaghy in '95 (iirc) and it was brutal. Advertising hoardings were blowing all over the pitch.

St Brigids look like a really good footballing side, but I think Glen gave more experience, versatility and adaptability if things go wrong at any stage, I think they'll win by 3 or 4 pts.

Glen are big favourites (rightly so) 4-11

From what I've seen of naomh Brid they are decent, if they play the way they did for 60 minutes like they did for the first 30 in the last game Glen will be get it tight.

That said, there's a composure about Glen and confidence they bring, no panic.

Should be a good final
