Club Football

Dust is well and truly settled, so all you can say is hats off to Gowna on the win. I figured it would be a lot closer or that Kingscourt could spring an ambush, but the Scrabby men obviously learned that lesson and were ruthless this time. They're young lads but with another campaign under their belts they're coming good at the right time. 3 titles in 5 years is a good run and they have the age profile to make a proper dynasty if they can keep it together.

Speaking of dynasties, they're up against one of the all-time great clubs tomorrow night. Bookies have them as underdogs which is fair. According to the We Are Cavan lads they've been training hard to give it a good rattle, but this is a Cavan team in the Ulster Senior Championship, up against a team with All-Ireland winners. Best of luck to them but what odds on Cross beating them with a last-gasp sucker punch like Naomh Conaill did in 2023?

As for the Bridge and Lacken, they're strong favourites and Lacken should really be looking to win the Ulster Junior outright!

Gowna were very unlucky last night. They looked brilliant in the first half but confidence and composure seemed to them when the pressure came on.

Well that was disappointing but went exactly as I'd expected. Not much money to be made by backing the Cross win though unfortunately!

As a county our embarassing performance in the Ulster Senior Club continues. Kind of encapsulates how low the standard of fupple's been in the county for decades now. The first Ulster Senior Club Championship was contested in 1968. We won Ulster at County level in 1969, then into decades of medicrity since bar two faint flickers.

Annoyed at the Bridge as well, they never got going in that one. Lacken have to take the Junior now. Professional job today, did exactly what they needed to do and should still have plenty in the tank to go all the way.
