Unfortunately for the nab they seem to have inherited the mantle of gallant runners up from Dromintee.Well done Cross. It’s like they turned on a button just after half time and decided it’s time to trounce this lot. Nab disappointing. Ran out of ideas. All fart and no shite. They remind me of Dromintee of the noughties.
I wouldn't worry BCB. Nab dont have the players to compete when Cross are in that form. Would be good if the best coaches in the county shared their knowledge with all clubs...but Cross will never do that.
No one asks us!!!
I don’t think it is either. Surely a conflict of interests. But I would wonder how reliable the sources areGreat to add to the collection of trophies. First half our intensity just wasn't there. Won’t do in Ulster. Lifted it up in the second half. Even when they got the goal we were lifting it further. Scored enough in the second half to win most games and that was done to a lift in work rate. We have the mentality to win and that cannot be coached.
Clontibret will be a step up but a lot will depend on what their ambition is. Nice side story with John Mac managing them. Will be strong and we will need to be at our second half level for the whole hour.
Interesting side show to today’s game....the county manager took Ballymacnab for a number of sessions in the build up to the final according to sources. It made no difference in the long run but is it appropriate for a county manager to train a club team in the build up to a county final? Personally I don’t think it is....
It backfired on him anywayCrossmaglen are just a different class altogether. Although Ballymacnab controlled the first half and then got the second goal you just knew Cross weren't finished and so it was.
The Nab forward line/team were shut down after than goal and the Crossmaglen juggernaut rolled in and Ballymacnab couldn't handle it. Crossmaglen are a joy to watch when this happens.
Grugan got a bit excitable after his goal - anyone know why? I missed it.

Super. Even as a tee totaller I'd join ye for that bcb1. I have to congratulate you [well the club but you know what I mean] and add, what a day. Superb atmosphere and a game worthy of a county final. No negative football from either team. Worth climbing over the wall for Mr. O'Neill alone even if Aaron was quiet by his standard.Definitely on that night....delighted myself as it’s a Saturday night so match and a few pints post match with no Monday head!
