Kilcoo will get to the final and if Paul mannion isn’t available they will win an all IrelandKilmacud Crokes will win the All Ireland by beating Finbarrs in final from what I've seen
They have a long way to go to be even in the debate. They will never win any awards for style or grace though.Kilcoo the best team to ever grace ulster? Will walk all ireland. Cross team of 2000s wouldn’t touch them. Branagan outstanding.
Why not ? They just won a ulster final by a cricket score and have won it now back to back? Drew to the best club team ever in the all Ireland final before getting beat in extra time.They have a long way to go to be even in the debate. They will never win any awards for style or grace though.

The toughest battles kilcoo had over the years have been in the down championship. Carryduff took them to extra time this year. A last minute goal won them a semi final vs burren in 2019. Where as cross never really had any one coming close to them, a few average dromintees and cullyhanna sides easily beaten through the years. Kilcoos backs can play a lot better football than cross could and are equally as tough and menacing. And forwards from both sides where handy but when the Johnson’s get the ball they are unstoppable. Clarke cumiskeys kernans could drop in and out of games. I believed cross was the best club team I ever watched. Then came corofin and now we have kilcoo - not quite corofin level yet but well on their way.Kilcoo are a brilliant side but best team to grace Ulster? not quite but might not be far off... This team has been on the go 10+ years and while they’ve been able to replenish their panel with some excellent talent but the reality is they’ve just won their second Ulster title. Not like they’ve a minefield of a championship to get them out of down either. Compare that to cross 1996-99 or 2004-2016
I think they’ll win an All Ireland now for sure. Their conditioning and ability to stick to a game plan is better than most county teams.As efficient as Kilcoo are, I just don’t think they have a real natural forward, that will keep kicking points even when he or the team aren’t playing well.
Their scores come from a lot of hard work and intricate passing. But they don’t really have the long ball game that Cross was very effective at, and was hard to stop. You need to be able to mix it up, play different styles. I just can’t see Kilcoo doing enough on the score board to win an AI
They only scrapped through a good few of their games in Down this year as far as I remember.Kilcoo are a brilliant side but best team to grace Ulster? not quite but might not be far off...

Bit harsh there
Did Cross not do 3 in a row maybe twice and even gave Kilcoo a lesson a few years ago. This current Kilcoo team are really good, no doubt about that, but if your opposition only scores 3 times with their only score of the second half an injury time free, then you have to question how good the winners actually were only actually scoring 13 times. If they'd have won 3-25 to 0-03, now that would have been a statement. From what I'm told and yes this was second hand, the game was extremely boring with both teams spending lots of time inside their respective 65m line.From memory Cross and Clan na Gael won at least 3 Ulster's in a row. Ballinderry and Burren have won a fair few too. Slaughtneil won 3 in 4 years recently. St Galls have won an All Ireland. They are all just off the top of my head. As I said Kilcoo have a long way to go.
I'm fairly sure Scotstown won 3 in a row and maybe some more, Burren are next to Cross in honours, but no idea of the number - maybe half of whatever the Cross total is.From memory Cross and Clan na Gael won at least 3 Ulster's in a row.
