Ulster Club IFC/JFC 2023

I didn't know that, I stand corrected

Similarities it would seem between Cavan and Tyrone clubs.  Junior and intermediate teams would usually be among the strongest in Ulster but their seniors rarely break much delft in the Ulster Championship.  Errigal in the 90s and maybe Kingscourt before that were the only victors I can ever recall at senior level.

No comparison between Cavan teams and Tyrone ones at Junior or Intermediate.

15 titles to 4 in favour of Tyrone versus Cavan at Intermediate/Junior Level.

Whats the point of the leagues then if they are essentially glorified challenge matches?

Is that not the way in every county? Wouldn't say league not taken serious it definitely is, but championship is life or death for any club that has a bit about them. Never heard of a team drinking for couple weeks after winning a league lol

Up blackhill!

This is Blackhill's 3rd Ulster Junior Club final in  8 years.

Do they deliberately get relegated just to get a handy championship win.

This should be questioned more than the fact Arva are a division 1 side?

I personally will be supporting the underdogs Arva this weekend.

Intermediate and junior would be strong in Monaghan. Could be a multitude of reasons Blackhill get relegated. Often when a team wins a championship the following year they struggle, hard to get the huge buy in and effort needed for lads to hit top form required to win a championship 2 years in a row, older lads may decide to step away on a high after winning championships, lads who maybe had plans to travel etc may have put them on hold for a chance to win something. Maybe Blackhill are just one of those teams who yoyo, see it all the time in all sports teams that are too good for the lower tier but struggle at higher level.

Not sure how a division 1 team is gonna be an underdog in a junior match though.

Correct. Monaghan intermediate is hard and difficult. 10 teams, 2 relegated from senior and 2 from junior creates a very difficult league to stay in. Blackhill themselves have about 30 adult players in total....
