After scoring 2-8 at the weekend, Paddy Bradley moves to Ulsters Top Scorer Ever in Championship Football. A tremendous achievement. There are many who will say that he benefited from playing many qualifier games but in fact, he has ammassed the total in less games than any of the others in the top list. At 28, Im sure he will continue to push his tally further.
Well said Paddy!! ;D
Oisin is still top. Qualifer scores don't count, I think it's only scores in Ulster Championship games that count.

Thought that myself...
I also agree with Benny its good to have such a high profile county player on the board now, his insights will be invaluable.
It does include the qualifiers.
Who would be the all-time op scorer in Ulster Championship then?
Did Oisin or Peter play many qualifer games?
Peter played a right few. Oisin didn't. The majority of Bradley's total has been made up in the qualifiers.
I'd say Oisin and Doherty would be vying for pure Ulster Championship.
Even Bradley's total in the Ulster championship reflects his importance in the Derry team. Oisin reached the top of the Ulster scoring stakes while winning 7 Ulster titles, I am not sure if Bradley was involved in 2000/2001, but Derry haven't even featured in an Ulster final after that.
I am sure some of our experts on the board have the stats for top scorers in the Ulster Championship and another list for top Ulster scorers in the All ireland Championship as a whole.
I did it on the old board but finding it is another job....
This is from 2007: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/low/northern_ireland/the_championship/6745037.stm
Half way down you get this:
NON-QUALIFIER HOTSHOTS
Paddy Doherty 15-159 (204)
Peter Donohoe 17-133 (184)
Sean O'Neill 17-125 (176)
Peter Canavan 8-167 (191)
Oisin McConville 10-155 (185)
Sean O'Neill 7-125 (176)
Charlie Gallagher 10-142 (172)
There was an Ulster championship table in the Sunday Times before the Derry/Tyrone game.

How can only Ulster Championship games count for the title of "Ulster's Top Scorer Ever in Championship Football"?
Maybe you're getting confused with the "Top Scorer Ever in the Ulster Championship".
Fair play to Bradley btw for reaching the top of the charts... and hopefully with a few more years to go yet.
I have a funny feeling that Paddy Mo will not be losing sleep over this announcement.
Them celtic crosses must be cutting the hole of him when he rolls over in the scratch at night ;)
Top scorer in ulster championship can only include ulster championship matches. Top ulster scorer in championship can include qualifiers. Unless proven otherwise, Oisin is still top with Peter second. Surely Paddy has a long way to go yet.

He's won a right few medals in his career I'd reckon. I'm sure he takes longer polishing his than you do. :P
Anyone know who's the all-time top scorer inlcluding all provinces?
