2025 AIB Ulster Club Football Senior Championship

If I was to rank the 9 teams in Ulster.

1. Kilcoo
2. Scotstown
3. Naomh Conaill
4. Newbridge
5. Loughmacrory
6. Kingscourt
7. Madden
8. Dunloy
9. Erne Gaels

Probably not far away. Newbridge and Loughmacrory possibly in a similar boat in that they're talented enough to beat anyone but they're very youthful sides that lack the experience of the top few.

[gallsman]

They might not win but I think Dunloy could cause a surprise or two. Their pace is terrifying.

Newbridge not short on pace themselves. I think it'll be a tight game. Agree Dunloy maybe being wrote off a bit too easily.

Are Scotstown the biggest underachievers in Ulster Club football in the modern era? They've dominated Monaghan for the last decade and only have 3 losing final appearances to show for it. Naomh Conaill to a lesser extent, dominated Donegal but only 2 losing final appearances to show.

Scotstown took a fair scalping off and were miles behind Kilcoo last year after stunning then the year before. Experience and pedigree counts for little if you're in a different class altogether.

Good point. Scotstown went man to man that day too when they had no real need to. Now under these new rules you're pretty much forced to go man to man unless you allow someone to run through unopposed if you deploy a sweeper
