Barring another draw, the distinction of bringing down the curtain on the
AIB GAA provincial senior club championship campaign for 2008 will fall to
Crossmaglen Rangers (Armagh) and Ballinderry (Derry) when they replay the
Ulster final in Enniskillen on Sunday.

Called off last Sunday due to the weather conditions, the sides will return
to Brewster Park for what promises to be another very exciting instalment.
Throw in will be 2.30 and extra-time will be played in the event of the
game again finishing level in ordinary time.

The winners will play Dromcollogher-Broadford (Limerick) in the All-Ireland
semi-final in February. The Limerick champions captured their first Munster
title with a one point victory over Kilmurry-Ibrickane of Clare in the
final last Sunday to spark off great celebrations in a club that has made
huge progress throughout this decade.

The other semi-final will feature Corofin (Galway) or Tir Chonaill Gaels
(London) against Kilmacud Crokes (Dublin). Kilmacud staged a great comeback
to beat Rhode (Offaly) in the Leinster final on Sunday. Corofin and Tir
Chonaill Gaels will play their quarter-final tie on January 18.

[The GAA]

That's a pitiful return for tyrone

[winsamsoon]

True enough but look at the performances of the Armagh and derry teams and then look at county all Irelands. Tells a lot about the setups of Tyrone development compared with the others. We are not transferring club success into county, in terms of the big prize.

Will that cross game be screened live again?

[IVEDECIDED]

Clans also won an Ulster in 1950 beating St.Johns Belast in the final. Although it was not the competition in its present form as it didnt go into an all ireland format, it was still fiercly contested. It was similar to how the Ulster minor club championship is played now. St. Johns invited each of the 9 county champions to play off and the winners received a solid gold medal. ( A huge deal in those days).

[winsamsoon]

You will often hear the older clans boys talking about the gold medal team. It should rightly be regarded in high esteem.
