Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on October 12, 2025, 09:58:20 PMWould that be your top 4?

1. Kilcoo
2. Scotstown
3. Magherafelt
4. Naomh Conaill

Anyone else likely to give ulster a go?
Hard to say. The first three haven't even got out of their counties. I have a sneaky feeling about Carryduff in Down.

Trillick beat any of those.

Trillicks record in Ulster not great in my recollection?

Have they a few new young lads?


They would have some new young lads as well as young lads who won in 2023 with more experience.

They where narrowly beaten in Ulster semi final that year.

Beaten by 1 point in last years county final to the all ireland runners up!

They have been to 5 Tyrone finals in 7 years winning 4 if they do the business in a couple of weeks.

They probably wont over celebrate as county title is not new territory.

They have the Jody Gormley Factor driving them this year. I just think they have a very good chance.

Trillick are one of the top 10 teams in the province, they've just taken out the top dog, they'll fancy their chances against anyone, invariably other clubs will also think the same and it'll come down to fine margins on the day, the Jody Gormley factor can't be understated, and also watching Errigal go all the way to Croke last year, for their sustained excellence in Tyrone I think Trillick will see 2025 as now or never in terms of Ulster and Croke (should they come through Tyrone)

Will we just cancel the Ulster championship and hand Trillick the  trophy?

St Brigids or Padraig Pearses (Roscommon) v B

Ballinamore or Leitrim Gaels v A


Final: 29th/30th November

Appreciate that, thanks. Couldnt find that anywhere. Do the London champions ever do much or is it usually a hammering session?

Became part of the Connacht championship in 2018. Lost all games so far by a margin of 5,8,5,6,15,6 points before that the London champions would play in All-Ireland Quarter final against a different provincial winner each year.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

No don't be silly!

When is the Rape case to be heard regarding Cullyhanas Aidan Nugent - that could dent there chances as if hes convicted I assume he will do time? Is there a possibility Armagh GAA will ask for an extension to the court date to give them time to compete?

North London Shamrocks gave Ballina a serious game last year. A lot of Donegal talent over there.

London occasionally punch but ultimately always lose

Would they be as well entering the intermediate championship, as the London intermediate winners have been known to land in the AI-junior (now paired with Ulster, no wins there either)

That NLS team lost by 6 to the Stephenites having missed a penalty and another solid goal opportunity. They were right there with them without ever threatening to win the thing. Ballina then went on to extra time with eventual AI semifinalists Coolera-Strandhill.

There'll always be peaks and troughs but I'd say that NLS team would give a hockeying to most intermediate teams in Mayo. There'll always be freak years where a team like Crossmolina are down in intermediate and dish out a few scalpings on their way back up.

London senior winners into Connacht and AI Intermediate worth a go in my view

lol! You're the one being silly, bigging up Trillick. It's amazing how much Tyrone people love to big up their championship and they've only ever produced one winner, an amalgamation at that.

Not until March as far as I know.

Trillick favourites for Ulster with Bookies

Trillick 3/1
Scotstown 4/1
Kilcoo 9/2
Magherafelt 13/2
Newbridge 15/2
Kingscourt 8/1
Naomh Conaill 8/1

Blowitupref

St Brigids favourites to win Connacht but no guarantee they'll get past Padraig Pearses in the Roscommon final.

St Brigids 15/8
Salthill knocknacarra 2/1
Ballina 4/1
Moycullen 11/2
Padraig Pearses 10/1
Leitrim Gaels 10/1
Westport 12/1
Shamrock Gaels 16/1
Ballinamore 20/1
Tir Chonaill Gaels 25/1
Coolera Strandhill 25/1
North London Shamrock 50/1

Interesting the defending champions are such long odds and must be decent money placed on Leitrim Gaels, the trio Fermanagh brothers who have transferred in and Jim McGuinness doing some training an influence on those odds?
