IF at first you don’t succeed, try again. That is what both Glen and Dunloy would have felt in the last 10 days. All I can say to both is fair play. Both don the green and gold and are within 15 mile from my home-place Glenullin, albeit Dunloy is just across the border in […]
By Michael McMullan IF ever there was a definition of redemption, the 49th minute of Sunday’s Ulster Club final ticks that box. Aaron Branagan had cut Glen’s lead to a single point and Kilcoo’s never say die attitude was in full flow when Ryan Johnston’s inch-perfect dinked pass found Ceilum Doherty in space behind Ethan […]
MASSIVE congratulations to Glen who claimed their first ever Ulster Club Senior Football title after turning in a phenomenal performance at the weekend. Before I get to the winners, we must at the stage also congratulate Kilcoo on the fantastic run over the last number of years. The benchmark that they have set is incredible […]
By Michael McMullan AS Bronagh Mulholland’s voice bellowed into the Maghera sky on Sunday night, she introduced the entire Glen squad as they stepped up onto the lorry container to take their moment of applause from fans thronged below them. Committee member, mother of players Cathal and Eunan, she took extra delight when it was […]
Ulster Club SFC final Kilcoo v Glen Sunday, Athletic Grounds, 1pm By Michael McMullan WHEN Conor Glass kicked his ‘45 over the bar to put Glen ahead for the first time, early in extra-time, the Derry men looked to have turned the final corner. Kilcoo almost won last year’s semi-final in normal time until Emmett […]
By Michael McMullan GLEN manager Malachy O’Rourke doesn’t really take on the suggestion he’s been linked with county management posts. His name has been mentioned in dispatches when Down and Donegal had vacant positions in recent years, but he’s happy with his lot. Seated in the corner of the splendid new Armagh Harps complex at […]
By Michael McMullan GLEN manager Malachy O’Rourke has revealed his side has spent “very little” time practicing penalties as part of their preparation. Sunday’s Ulster final clash with Kilcoo is expected to be every bit as tightly contested as last year’s extra-time clash of the teams. The All-Ireland champions needed a penalty shoot-out to see […]
WE are now left with the last two teams standing in this year’s Ulster Club Senior Football Championship. When looking at the overall competition, I don’t think that anyone can argue with the two dominant teams that have made their way through to the final. Both Kilcoo and Glen have beaten in front of them […]
ULSTER CLUB SFC QUARTER-FINAL Glen 3-10 Errigal Ciaran 1-12 By Michael McMullan A POWERFUL and purposeful second half – with Ethan Doherty to the fore – saw Glen advance from Sunday’s Celtic Park cauldron and book their semi-final spot with Cargin. Advertisement Goals from Conor Convery, Ethan and Alex Doherty did the trick in a […]
By Michael McMullan GLEN skipper Connor Carville was in O’Neill’s Healy Park last weekend to run his eye over the Tyrone final and was “very impressed” with what he saw. The back to back Derry champions face Errigal Ciaran on Sunday at Celtic Park (3.30) in an eagerly awaited clash of the titans. Speaking at […]
