By Michael McMullan IT wasn’t always like this for Glen and Michael Warnock knows it too well. Standing in the aftermath of a second successive Ulster senior title, he chooses phenomenal as the word that best describes being part of the current Glen glory story. Then, he looks into the rear-view mirror to give some […]
THE only place to start this week is to offer my sincere congratulations to the Glen club. To win the Ulster Club Championship once is extremely difficult but to do it back-to-back is simply amazing. We have all been well-aware of this talented group that the Glen club had coming for a number of years […]
By Michael McMullan SOMETIME this week, Glen will have parked their celebrations to peek towards Kilmacud Crokes and putting their best foot forward in the All-Ireland series. For Emmett Bradley, Sunday was “absolutely huge” and back-to-back Ulster titles needed basked in and he hailed those laying the foundations for magical days. “It’s unbelievable, the work […]
Glen v Scotstown Sunday, BOX-IT Athletic Grounds, 4pm Live on TG4 By Michael McMullan IT’S a gap of 12 months versus 23 years on Sunday as Glen put their title on the line against Scotstown who were last Kings of Ulster in 1989. Gerry McCarville was midfield in their win over Coalisland and his son […]
By Michael McMullan A FEW things strike you about Michéal McCarville as the dust settles on Scotstown’s extra-time win over Trillick. One is the wispy moustache he is growing as part of the ‘Movember’ fundraising drive for men’s mental health. There is also his sheer size that has you looking up to make eye contact. […]
By Michael McMullan SUNDAY will be Glen’s eleventh championship foray into championship action outside the confines of the Derry cocoon they took their time stepping out of. The Scotstown team that run out of the same tunnel will wear a jersey that has been steeped on big days. When they were winning championships in Monaghan […]
THE big weekend has arrived when we will find out who will be crowned Ulster Club Champions for 2023. Before we get into that, let us just state that whichever team wins on Sunday will fully believe that they have a great chance of going the distance. Without being disrespectful to any of the teams […]
I HAVE long been an advocate of trying to create overloads in a game of football. What I mean by overloads, is trying to manipulate a situation within a game where you create a 2v1, 3v2, 4v3 or even 3v1, 4v2 type situation anywhere on the field where you try and overload the opposition and […]
AFTER last weekend’s game, we now have the pairing for the 2023 Ulster Club final and it’s one to get our teeth into. We will get to that game next week to try and see where each team may get success in their question to take home the silver. For now, let’s cast our minds […]
By Michael McMullan KIERAN Hughes feels Scotstown’s ability to last the pace silenced anyone who questioned their “old legs”. The Farney champions needed a late Conor McCarthy point to force extra time in a game they spurned early chances that nearly came back to haunt them when Lee Brennan kicked Trillick into the lead in […]
