Ulster Club IFC/JFC 2025

[DownFanatic]

Saval won the IFC in Down with a very convincing win over Annaclone on Saturday. Saval have Pat Havern in their ranks and some really good players for this level. They'd need a big step up to compete at the latter stages of the Ulster IFC though.

Ardglass won their first Down JFC in 23 years on Friday night by beating Kilclief by 4 points. It would be a big shock if they got past the Cavan champions though.

Sarsfields beat St Paul's 2-15 to 1-15.

St Paul's must be sick
That's 5out of last 6 they have lost .

Sarsfields could get a result or 2 in Ulster.

Couldn't see it, play the winners of Glenullin/Moneyglass in the qf. Glenullin/Clonoe final.

I thought both JFC & IFC in Armagh were poor, couldn't see anyone doing any damage in Ulster - probably Seniors included as well as there'll be partying there whoever wins. Clonoe have to be the Cullyhanna of the season - really a strong Senior team playing in IFC.

Been Intermediate for 2 out of the last 3 seasons. Would hardly call them a strong senior team

Sure didn't they take Errigal to a replay last year. Clonoe definitely one of the favourites.

Truth would lie somewhere in the middle. They are a well drilled side with no real weak links and I'd expect they'd be one of the favourites for the Ulster title and are capable of giving it a good tilt but the fact remains they have been at intermediate level 2 of  the past 3 years.

I'd say there's a fair chance they will be straight back down to intermediate in 2027 as they have quite an aging squad. Lavery, McNulty, McAliskey, Mickey O'Neill, McClure all into their 30s now and are their key men.

Not much mention of them at youth these days either!

Tyrone intermediate is the strongest in Ulster so whoever wins will always be one of the favourites and Clonoe are no different regardless of age. It'll be between them, Monaghan winners and Glenullin

If Tyrone separated league and championship like most counties do, Clonoe would be nowhere near the IFC based on their SFC results. Senior semi-finalists in 2022 losing by 3 points to Carrickmore but relegated to IFC based on their league status, then last year beat Coalisland and then lost narrowly to Errigal Ciaran after a replay, yet somehow got relegated again to Intermediate via the league. They were massive favourites to win Tyrone IFC in 2023 but got ambushed by Moy in the semi-finals and they made sure they did not get caught out like that this year.

Yeah you're right but it's just further examples of how Tyrone are rigging the system.

Rigging the system how exactly?

I'd say it's the opposite in Tyrone.. What's that saying doing the rounds these days, accusations are usually confessions. Arva has to be the biggest shit show in club history

No, it's just highlighting how strong Clonoe really are and that them being in Intermediate is an anomaly. Tyrone are one of the counties that try to do it fair imo.

How can you have a team that were two games away from winning the Senior Championship relegated to Intermediate based off their performance in glorified challenge games / league campaign.

Arva were rightly relegated to junior based of abysmal performances in league and Championship were they barely scored in some games.
