Awful shame that the Clans and Clanns have been drawn against each other in the semis. Would have been a great final for the Buckfastians and a great lift for Lurgan GAA as a whole. Let’s call a spade a spade, the winners of that semi are going to win the final. Both of them have the pace, tradition and scoring power to beat Madden, though Madden are not rank outsiders. They’ll account for themselves very well in the final but you just have to feel either of the Lurgan teams, most likely Clanns as they are a year or 2 ahead of Clans, have too much for them.

Fancy both teams to dominate in the next 5-6 years, plenty of talent there currently and the Blue fraternity have plenty coming through underage. Francis Street will be bouncing again

I think cross should win by 4 at least, the all lurgan clash will be some game, will be some interesting match ups, who marks turbitt? Will Kelly go on mcparlan? Will Campbell be marked by mccambridge? Looking forward to it and to 2 of the teams that have a bright future with the good underage work, I'd say clann eireann by 1 or 2 because I think they more depth but with clan na Gaels minors that might change in a year or 2, so a cross v clan eireann final for me, and that will be tasty, think I'd always side with cross but think James Morgan is a massive loss, just think if cross had a fully fit panel they give Ulster a rattle. But if clann eireann win would be interesting to see how they compete against Ulster teams

Yes it is great for football in the town, there's not that much of a footballing rivalry as Clann Eireann are only recently at this level and Clans had dropped down a grade for the last decade. Prior to that the clubs would only ever had met in a North Armagh championship, which was a after thought. I recall very few games between the teams at senior level from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.

Having said that it should be a great couple of weeks and the banter will be great, hopefully the football even better. There's already a debate night organised in a local venue, panel set up for the debate with a live audience. This should be eventful

Unfortunate, but suppose this is what can happen. Thought that lad put in a great shift in the Intermediate Final against St Pauls a few years back and was one to watch. But Clans have a good bunch coming through anyways.

Thats true that there has not been much of a pre existing rivalry between the clubs. But thats likely to change and intensify over the next few years.
And then an overall rivalry between the town teams and Cross to be also anticipated. Could be really exciting times ahead.
