Just out of interest where would the Creggan boys drink??

[Calm Down]

I'd say there is a good chance you will get them down in Marrons today

It's ok CB I get it you got caught up in celebrating with your family and many friends from Creggan, easy to get caught up on the euphoria

Would you two boys not just go bare bellies in a car park up round Toome and fight it all out. Traveller style video as well.

Certainly, better than burning flags and emblems and even taking negativity out on a poor minion.

Cargin have been in 21 county senior finals over the past 47 years and enduring defeat in 11.....

Learn from the experience, and having refuge to Mr Mac Namee on ten occassions thus far maybe he may well come a visiting again.....

One team must be cursing their luck this year has to be the Johnnies, they probably gave Creggan their hardest game

[EOC1923]

Creggan struggled with St Johns surely, had to do it all themselves that day

[Milltown Row2]

The gift that keeps giving, I'm so glad you are over it now

A disappointing game yesterday, conditions were never going to help on that front. Odhran McLarnon was excellent in both defence and attack in his sweeping role. Covered some amount of ground and was effective in possession. Kevin Small was also very impressive. Aghgallon's main men never got going and are probably a couple of years off the maturity of that Creggan team both physically and in terms of big game decision making. Armagh was always going to be a good draw in first round of Ulster for whoever came out of Antrim. Good chance of an Ulster semi now. I'd be of the same mind as a few previous contributors in that I cant see anyone, barring maybe Kilcoo, stopping this Glen team.

Calm down CB you are going to push yourself over the edge, the rage is causing you to double post

Hopefully O Boyles will put up a new grandstand for their own club PJ Iol. Outstanding clubmen in every regard.

All we need now is the confirmation of John McKeever to finally come home and take things round here to the next level.

Creggan worthy champions for this year,
Aghagallon maybe a few years off it yet but done well to get to a final albeit on easy side of the draw,
I'd imagine Cargin will be back stronger than ever next season with new management.
Can Creggan get a win for Antrim in ulster, not so sure, home draw helps.

[bannside]

Welcome Lar. Indeed, next few years should be very interesting. Whether it's realistic or not, at least 6 or 8 clubs will give themselves some kind of a chance. The standard is levelling off, great for lots of competitive encounters, but no one going to trouble Glen or Kilcoo any time soon.

CB, That didn't go down well in Creggan BTW, should not have happened. As has been said numerous times on here, there are loads of families that have split allegiances, and we have had good Creggan men scoring match winning goals living in Cargin and good Cargin men scoring match winning points living in Creggan, and none would have entertained this.

Cargin have paraded down the Staffordstown road after championship victories in the past, and it was received well, as we acknowledged they earned they right to parade, they won the fecking championship. No animosity, jealous yes, but animosity no.

On a more positive note, I had an emotional call home yesterday with my father and sister. The happiness that this victory has brought to my family is amazing. Club is everything to us and we've had our lows which makes yesterdays victory more powerfull.  The sense of pride within the whole community runs deep, and probably more so for the old timers who were around for the 54 title who have traveled the roller-coaster of highs and lows over the past 67 years.

Proud of the club, the work we've put into the facilities and youth for football, hurling, ladies football  and camogie over the past 20-30 years has lead to this. Yesterday morning the camogie team reached an Ulster Junior final and the senior footballers won the bigun.

Proud of the team and the way they've handled themselves over the past number of years. Good days allaround

Didn't see the Glen game so can't assess them until I see them, Derry teams have a fantastic record in Ulster, so with that behind them, regardless of being first timers that will be a huge benefit. Ulster club has fooled many a 'top' team into thinking they have a good chance, mainly Tyrone teams
