Ulster Club SFC 2026

[Armagh18]

Cavan champions to host Armagh. Smart money will be on Armagh as wins for Cavan clubs in this competition are like hens teeth. But we've been knocking on the door of late.

Gowna should have picked up a win v Noamh Conaill but for ill-discipline and a stupid late goal. Penalties V Enniskillen. Crosserlough ran Kilcoo very close. Kingscourt were very disappointing v Erne Gaels last year but Faulkner had gone travelling at that stage so was a massive miss. If Kingscourt go forward this year it will be their second title in 2 years. If it's Gowna it'll be their third in 5. So I wouldn't be expecting any county final hangover at this stage. Plus both clubs I would argue have grown stronger with good young players developed and older experienced heads available and fully fit.

Armagh teams have done next nothing in a decade bar Clann Eireann getting a decent run in 2024. If Killeavy win they'll not sober up in time for Ulster, Cross will celebrate hard if they win given it's been a long time by their standards, the current bunch hasn't much experience in Ulster but the ability is definitely there for a good crack at it

They won their first match and lost the next one. Is that a "run"?
