Wouldn't think that way Benny.

Everything is stacked against Kilcoo as they've got next to no experience at this level. Very few of them will be familiar with either Casement or Athletic Grounds. Both those venues tilt even more things in Crossmaglen's favour.

If they win the toss, they'll be playing on the ground where they've played nearly all their club championship matches in recent seasons. They'll know the lay of the land, know the ritual, know the travel arrangements.

It won't be enough to beat Cross, but it will make a difference.

Tough ask for kilcoo no matter where match is but would b a big benefit for cause if in Newry

No sour grapes at all. Just the way I see it. Fair play to kilcoo today, wanted it more which means so much at this level. I watched cross game and I just believe they will win handy as they are some outfit and I believe will just get better as the comp goes on.

I'd be a bit wary of Kilcoo's discipline against Cross. Kilcoo play a little on the edge and Cross are the wrong opposition for those tactics; they'll take you out off the ball and wind you up back until you lash out. It's just about possible to play Cross with 15 men - with 14 you've no chance.

If the Magpies can hold their discipline, I expect this to the way of most of Cross's games. Nip and tuck for a while, then Cross get a stride and bury the opposition in a 10 minute spell, before picking them off with infuriating ease as they charge forward and get tired. They truly are some team.

On the ball wobbler - look at how Cross wound up St Galls who tried to mix it and were walloped. Kilcoo would need a whole new mindset to change that but I hope McCorry can get some way to deal with that.
Fierce tame altogether
