2025 AIB Ulster Club Football Senior Championship

[BigGreenField]

Decent Donegal senior final on TG4. Result Gaoth Dobhair  1-13 Naomh Conaill  1-13.

Replay or extra time? Gwedore had the opportunities to win it.

Extra time

[AustinPowers]

Gweedore missed 3 chances in last few minutes, 2 of them gimmes. Looks like extra time?

No 5 will have  nightmares if GD lose this now

Decent entertainment but it's very poor stuff.

[Blowitupref]

Naomh Conaill has kicked on in extra time. Half time Gaoth Dobhair  1-13 Naomh Conaill  2-16.

Grear fight back by Gaoth Dobhair comes up short, had a two pointer free to level it.

FT AET  Gaoth Dobhair  1-19 Naomh Conaill  2-18

GD fans a bit premature with the green flares

They certainly were, GD players will be kicking themselves how they didn't close that game out on 60 minutes.

[Wildweasel74]

Didn't watch extra time but Gweedore were the better team in normal time. They be kicking themselves.

Dont think so, never been fully explained by our Monaghan brethren. I posted this before but I cycle through it regularly, it's a small village, there's a lot of other clubs within a few mile, remember reading Tydavnet(a neighbouring village), used to have their own team but folded and presumably play for Scotstown now. A planter town originally too. Their dominance is interesting from an outsider perspective.

Scotstown I think went almost twenty years without a championship win before goin onto dominate from the 2010's. It comes down to a lot of focus on youth development and also a cohort of their best ever players emerging (Hughes Brothers, Beggan, McCarthy). For sure, they have a big parish with Scotstown, Tydavent, Knockatallon, Ballinode all in their area with 3 primary schools. Compare that to the Clontibret parish which has 3 separate clubs (2 senior (Clontibret and Cremartin) and one intermediate (Doohamlet). Scotstown did get their shit and had some top class people club people who put some great structures in place for them. That conveyor belt of talent is starting with a new cycle with the likes of Tommy Mallen, Sean Og McElwaine and couple of others  now starting to emerge. They will be big players for Scotstown for years to come.

Sounds like they are indeed the Errigal of Monaghan then

What qualifies them? They've  Truagh Gaels 8m away, Emyvale 6m away, Tyholland 10m, Monaghan Harps 5m away.  All on their Eastern flank, sparse enough population to the west, mostly bogland.

Absolutely delighted for Dunloy.

Great coverage by TG4 and those that spoke afterwards did very well.

The lads on TG4 did.

The lads up on the platform who knows, as in typical Antrim fashion they made a balls of the microphone.

What has happened football in Belfast:
- too interested in soccer?
- waiting on Casement being built?
- the wrong management?
- something else?
- all the above?
- none of the above?

Slaughtneil absolutely robbed in Derry with that free being moved up for a 2 pointer ffs.

And only one point for this effort. In Armagh, that would have been a 2 pointer for Cullyhanna
