Quote from: ClubScene13 on October 11, 2025, 12:06:38 PMThis is captain hindsight obviously but bigging up Clann Eireann for Ulster on the basis of running Errigal tight last year was futile. Everyone ran Errigal close last year from Round 1 Tyrone to Croke Park apart from Cargin
Wasn't on the basis that they ran Errigal close that I fancied them for Ulster, serious quality and depth in that squad but didn't turn up at all last night so well done to Madden. Unlikely that any of the 3 do much in Ulster, Cullyhanna maybe with their recent experience at intermediate, although Cross are Cross and can never be written off. Will be a cracker this evening.
Think their age profile will keep them in the hunt for another few titles over the next 5 or 6 years. Wouldn't be surprised if they do win Ulster either. Most boys the right side of 30 aren't they?

Quote from: gallsman on October 10, 2025, 10:20:43 PMSo just to clarify then, CE won't be winning Ulster, no?
Not unless the ladies do. Fair shock losing to Madden but McCambridge a huge loss.

If Cross beat Cullyhanna I fancy them to have enough for Madden, Cross/Cullyhanna game tough to call.
Dan McCarthy was an understated loss also their best forward during the league.

Cullyhanna would need improve immeasurably to beat Cross tonight. From their intermediate win have lost Casey and a few older players a year older. They didn't seem like a team that believed they could beat cross last year when they where there for the taking.

Cullyhanna kept going to the end and Cross messed up. Cullyhanna v Madden

Cross were, or looked comfortable. Different name for a change on the cup
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Missed Cian for last free, loads beside me left 10 mins to go, some comeback.

Well done Cullyhanna, didn't see it panning out like that with Nugent leaving the shooting boots at home in the 1st half. Cross should have been home in a boat but Cullyhanna did miss a serious amount of chances and still won. Cian McConville getting a (deserved) black card was crucial. A final to really look forward to.

Didn't realise Nugent was featuring for them this year. That raise any eyebrows around the county?

Big chances for a lot of teams now in Ulster. Almost all the big hitters that you'd expect to be there already gone. Glen, Cross, Clann Eireann, St. Eunans I thought all had a chance to make a push in Ulster this year

Kilcoo be favorites now?... Or Errigal?

Errigal would need to win Tyrone first which we know isn't easy to win back to back nevermind back to back Ulsters. Haven't watched Down football yet this year so can't judge Kilcoo but they'll be up there no doubt. Scotstown's year?

No guarantee Kilcoo win Down either I suppose

Kilcoo been run close in their two most recent games I think?

Slaughtneil could have plenty of bite left in them. Derrygonnelly maybe.

Derrygonelly without the Jones hardly be able to do much in Ulster.

Gowna in Cavan have potential to do well but Cavans record in Ulster is abysmal at Senior level.
