It will be in Clones, Breffni or Omagh.They will want a place with capacity, 10000+ in Newry today and they will want floodlights as the day might be dark.
Some crowd.

on a drier day there probaly would have been around 13k in newry for todays match. down v armagh matches will always draw a crowd at any level.

There would have been a larger crowd if Kilcoo turned up...... :o :o

Crossmaglen have a serious record in Ulster finals. Ten wins from ten finals. This will be Scotstown first Ulster senior final for thirty years.

Great win for us today. I didn't make it so listened I the wireless. After a shaky enough start where Kilcoo worked us out of it our lads seemed to settle into the game and controlled it for there on without really pulling away. I think if Rico bagged the goal they would have won with a fare bit to spare.

Scotstown are going to be a different bag of tricks altogether. Serious talent in that team. The Hughes brothers, the Caulfields, Turley, Carey, Beggan and McCarthy. They have a very balanced team but they will have a fair wee bit of pressure on. They have to fill big boots like McCarvilles, the Moynas, the Caulfields, the Sherrys and the great Ray McCarron, all big players.  I would imagine the excitement round An Both will reach fever pitch. It's a lot to take in sometimes for a new team.

Cross at a canter in the final for me.... All the hype after Scotstown's first win will have dampened down I'd imagine
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

They'll be favorites all right but i doubt it will be a canter. Hughes in at FF is really working for Scotstown. They have plenty of quality. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they pulled off a shock

Experience, weather, and having won all their Ulster finals gives you an idea of what Scotstown have to deal with... Hey. Fair fecks to them if they win but Cross have been around the block plenty times and know how to win....

Galway champs (should they win😉) would be hard to beat in the semi

Will be interesting to see if Scotstown continue with their "total football" approach against Crossmaglen. No better team to test it out against! It's just a shame these two teams will be plodding it out in November and not in the summer. Fancy cross to grind it out and win no11

I have to laugh at the notion that they play total football.  They play rotating sweepers and a 4 man forward line.

Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Do they claim to? Cross doesn't have an incredibly complex plan, they just execute better than most.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B
