He is absolutely just as talented. The minor teams that Clans won back to back with are good but they face the challenge of being the bedrock of the Clans seniors. We have minor teams not too far off them but the difference is that our players will only have to be squad players for next 2-3 years.
Experience and physicality was the difference today. Clans put everything into the first half but still only had a 1 point win for all they did. They were done by the time they got the goal. We got our match ups right in the marking stakes and we stepped up when needed to. I’d loved to have heard the HT chat!
Anyway, hard luck to the Clans. Genuinely thought it would be tighter but in the 2nd half you needed big games from Soupy and McPartlin but it didn’t happen.
Think you nailed it there lad, disappointed but at the same time super proud of the lads who made it to the county final with let face it a bunch of kids. Hopefully a bright future ahead of them.
Thought the black card just allowed cross the extra bit of wriggle room and they exploited it well, meant we then had to chase the game and Cross were able to counter that. Not sure what the black card was actually for, seemed a very strange decision and was crucial in what had been a very tight game up until that. We also couldn't win a ball in the middle, cross dominated for 10-15 minutes and that was enough to finish it as a contest.
Wish Cross all the best now in Ulster which looks fairly open, Cross won't be easily beaten, they may face their toughest tests at the earlier stages.
Cullyhanna looks super well drilled also, great running from deep with support players either side. Also able to kick great scores, they scored a couple of cracking goals also..
Dissapointed but at the same time optimistic for the future but it's not guaranteed, rest assured every game will have to be won.
