Club Championships 2025

[Captain Obvious]

Hard to warm to a penalty shootout to decide a knockout championship game.

[straightred]

great game and makes for a great final. Scotstown have a lot of cleaning up to do but i think they just about deserved it today

[JoG2]

What a battle! Fair play to both teams, in those conditions to keep the feet firmly pressed for the guts of 90 mins 👏

[Harold Disgracey]

Well done Scotstown, hard luck Newbridge.

Began with those 2 pointers is a massive weapon in your arsenal

[square_ball]

A good way to finish a good game imo.

How Shane Carey recovered from that head injury in the 2nd half to lay down again, and then get up again was miraculous

In fairness if the ref seem the dirty dig he'd have sent 7 off, pure dirt, which you can't defend

And you can't address the correct point

I didn't post to address it, I posted to say complete dirt by 7 . Which you didn't address at the time. Players go down to waste time or fool the ref

Surely you'd know who Paudi McGrogan is? The man put in an unreal shift out there... Talk me through this pure dirt you keep talking about. I didn't see it

You didn't see it? Arsene stuff there.

Look if you didn't see it that's ok, neither did the ref but they slowed it down many times to show it

In fairness he asked you what it was. Can you not explain it?

Carey won the ball in his own box, 7 pulled him down, free out but he threw a dirty dig into the ribs, TG4 showed it at least two or three times in slow mo after it happened. I posted at the time when he done it

[gallsman]

Terrific game, even as the conditions worsened.

Feels like the right result, but Newbridge showed for sure they belong.

The last week will have taken an awful lot out of Scotstown. Kilcoo don't need any additional advantage to begin with and will surely be firm favourites again.

That wasn't hard. I hadn't seen it either at the time but will be going back for a look.

Hard luck Newbridge, showed some balls to come back from such a deficit in normal time, but again at the death in extra time too. A penalty shootout is an awful way to decide tight games on like this, but I don't know what the alternative is in a right schedule and with this game already having to be rescheduled.

As much of a lottery as penalties can be, it was always going to be tough for Newbridge to compete here with every Scotstown player involved being county players with huge experience, with most of them even having shootout experience in Croke Park.

Scotstown deserved to come through overall, but they have an awful knack of letting teams back into games when they look in a strong position. They really should have won an Ulster by now, but have faltered at the last hurdle multiple times. Not many tougher challenges than Kilcoo now, but that should refocus them if nothing else, and they'll give any team a game. Should be a great final.

Does the Newbridge 12 Mcateer not be mentioned for the Derry squad? He was excellent any time I've watched them this year.

Turned them down last year, might be up this year

[tyroneStatto]

For what should be a very experienced team Scotstown appeared very naive at times today. Can't see them beating Kilcoo based on that.

I thought Newbridge would have given Kilcoo a serious rattle, Winter football
is tough though.

[bennydorano]

Had Scotstown as my favourites from the start but they do have a bit of a soft underbelly (at the highest level tbf!), you can just see it when the pressure's on & the doubts creep in, still  an awesome team and the Kilcoo game could be a clinker. 1 a piece in their last 2 meetings so they've no reason to fear them, they've added more potency upfront since last year's semi as well.
