Ulster club senior football championship - 2015

[armaghniac]

Shouldn't Cross (and Cullaville) have been transferred to Monaghan, according to the boundary commission in the 1920's?
It's never too late ..!

You're more than welcome to them

One of the most unpleasant consequences of partition was the postal address of Cross and Silverbridge changed from Castleblayney, Co Monaghan to Newry, Co. Down.

That's a surprise and a first. Pressure off Scotstown.

Is it real though?

[brokencrossbar1]

It's real in so far as its on the Ulster Council Website. It might be a mistake though, wadda ye think?😃

maybe Oisin has some secret influence or someone is grateful to John Mac for spotting some cardiac problem, or maybe this was the deal for Big Joe running the Intl team.

Should be in Bkayney, half way between both clubs...come on Bingo, do your stuff!!

I thought Cross wouldn't like Blayney after the last time they played there in Ulster 

Feck off you. That's way below the belt!!!  Still have nightmares of the Ole's

Awwww... Still, those 6 AI's and 10 Ulsters should see you sleep soundly

Gormley impressed by Scotstown
19 November 2015

Eoin Gormley gives Scotstown every chance of upsetting Crossmaglen in Sunday week's Ulster club SFC final.

Gormley lined out at midfield on the Trillick team that suffered a narrow defeat to the Monaghan champions last Sunday, and was suitably impressed by what they had to offer.

"Scotstown are a vastly experienced team, and I wouldn't like to be backing against them to go on and win Ulster," he told the Tyrone Constitution.

"They're superb all-round the field, and even the reinforcements they brought in, all big physical strong men, and I think they're well capable of winning Ulster."

Although disappointed not to reach the Ulster final, Gormley acknowledged that it had been a memorable first season in senior football for this Trillick team.

"We're very, very disappointed, but it has been a fairytale year for us. We thought we had the pedigree to go all the way, but we were just pipped at the post on the day," he continued.

"This team has been absolutely fantastic all year, and it's a real credit to the club that we have got to this stage - a small club coming from intermediate last year. I think it's just a great achievement, and hopefully we'll be here for a while.

"We spoke about it in the huddle after the match, we can hold our heads up with great pride, we know that the whole club and the whole county is proud of what we have done this year."

Scotstown definitely going to be very hard to beat.  Momentum, tradition, quality and the motivation of coming to do it moreorless in our own back yard could tip it their way.  They have a very strong squad and have a few quality players to come off the bench.  The likes of McCague is a great experienced operator who will relish the chance to win the big one.

Do you just cut and paste the same reply!!!  Seriously though this is a very talented Scotstown team.  5 of the current Monaghan squad, 3 starters.  At least 3 former Monaghan players and a number of under age players.  A strong work ethic, a clever and experienced manager and back room staff and a very strong tradition behind them,  they're as close to us in terms of 'assets' as you'll get.  A point either way.

On top of all that you have one of the best footballers in the country in Darren Hughes playing out of his skin and scoring goals for fun.  He will be virtually unmarkable and the key will be stopping the supply of ball to him.

Yes...

We all know the two teams are evenly matched and i suppose who gets the lucky breaks on the day will be the difference or a refereeing decision. Wouldn't rule out a draw. You'd think Scotstown will have the more hunger but Cross never lack in that dept either and since the were written off at the start of the year prob just gave them even more motivation...Hopefully TG4 will show it live

[intheknowhow]

Rory Beggan, 2 Hughes and Shane Carey all started for Monaghan this year. Mohan was sub goalie also on squad. Young McCarthy was on the Ulster minor winning team 3 years ago.. They are a quality side all over with every player starting haven played county at some stage! There meant to have a big backroom team too and wudn be short of the same assets that Cross have. Guna be a very close game!
