CE with a full pack should have too much for the Clans. Stopping the main threats of Campbell, McPartlan and O'Neill is no easy task but they're probably the only team in the county that have the players to do it.

On the other hand I don't know if Clans have the players to stop CE's big hitters, which are numerous. Turbo, TK, McCambridge are the obvious ones but they're strong across their first 15 plus the players they have to spring from the bench - probably the deciding factor

Quote from: LC on October 07, 2024, 06:44:27 PMNot too familiar with Lurgan but is there a tendency for middle class people to align more with a specific club or clubs?
Lurgan is traditionally a proud working-class town and that would be reflected in the clubs memberships. I'd say Clann Éireann attract slightly more middle-class members solely because most of the recent private housing developments in the last 20-30 years has been in north Lurgan.

This in spades ( pardon the pun).
Thousands of new houses in their catchment area in the last 20 years.

Clann Eireann have traditionally been a bit soft on the underbelly and don't like the physical stuff, always have been for as long as i remember...Just saying. Maybe these new young lads coming through have a bit more about them.

Down senior final result.  Kilcoo 1-10 Burren 0-4.

Late goal seals the win for Glenn and puts them into another Derry final with 1-9 to 0-9 win.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Hard luck to Dungloe. Equalizing penalty in the last minute of normal time, only for Eunans to knock over three points in injury to win it.


Eunans 1-13 Dungloe 1-10

I had a post typed out saying something similar but thought better of it, mentally fragile maybe as well, but these are the things breakthrough teams have to overcome.

Seen the down result, is there a mental thing with Burren about beating kilcoo?

4 points is a terrible return for a team contesting a final
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Try the whole of Down.

Burren just add more flavour to the feast by getting to the final more often.

I see Mansy was playing for Clontibret at the weekend. Surely he's still their top dog?

Wasnt sure on that one so left it out. What about Scotstown the Hughes men still their go to or would it be some of the younger guns, probably McCarron come to think of it?

Brían O'Connell probably the Cavan starter for Ramor, Liam Brady lost his place when injured this year
