By Michael McMullan EOIN Bradley has kicked many scores for club and county down the years but nothing betters last Sunday’s Ulster Intermediate Championship triumph in Clones. ‘Skinner’ came off the bench to hit 1-1 with his first two touches, and a 1-3 haul in total, to help Glenullin fend off Cavan champions Cuchulainn’s. “It doesn’t get any […]
Shaun Casey charts the top scorers in the Ulster Intermediate Football Championship ahead of this weekend’s final between Glenullin and Cuchulainn’s Ryan McNicholl (Glenullin) – 3-8 McNICHOLL has been the leading light in the forward line for Glenullin, and his scoring ability has helped them reach a first-ever Ulster final. The rangy corner-forward hit the […]
Glenullin v Cuchulainn’s Sunday, Clones, 1pm By Michael McMullan A NEW name will be etched on the base of the Patrick McCully Cup after Sunday’s final spits out a 24th different winner. Advertisement Clontibret began the competition in 1998 with Liatroim crowned as champions. GAA President Sean Kelly then adopted it as one of their […]
By Michael McMullan REWIND the clock 14 years. It’s summer in Clones. Eoin Bradley is hanging off the crossbar. His run and finish to the net, in a 1-5 tally, put the final nail in Armagh’s coffin. It was an Ulster semi-final and he was on fire but it was his last game at the iconic […]
By Shaun Casey AT the start of the season, when Andy Callan returned to the fold, getting back to senior football in the Farney County was top of the Carrickmacross priority list, but now, they stand a very real chance of reaching the Ulster IFC final. Callan’s charges take on Glenullin of Derry this Sunday […]
By Michael McMullan CATHAL Hasson feels Sunday’s Ulster Intermediate semi-final date with Monaghan’s Carrickmacross will be Glenullin’s toughest test of the season by a “long shot”. After winning a third Derry title in four years, Glenullin were comfortable winners over Moneyglass and Sarsfields. There was also the club’s recent gala to celebrate their 100th year anniversary. […]
BEFORE the Ulster Championship matches at the weekend, I got a text from Ruaidhri Currie, a good Rossa man. “Going to have a flutter. Loughmacrory or Kilcoo? Newbridge or Madden?” I texted back, “Kilcoo and Newbridge. Winning the county championship was the other two’s wildest dreams fulfilled. Impossible for them to adjust their sights to […]
By Michael McMullan A BUSY weekend of then and now beckons in Glenullin, both on and off the pitch. On Saturday, the club will host a special 100-year anniversary gala dinner with the senior footballers in Ulster action against Sarsfields of Armagh on Sunday. After winning a third Oakleaf intermediate title in four seasons, Glenullin have […]
By Niall Gartland ALL the way back in 2004, Benny Marron was, by his own admission, third-choice goalkeeper when Moneyglass reached the inaugural Ulster Intermediate final — where they fell short against Tyrone’s Pomeroy. He was only 16 at the time. Now, just over two decades on, he’s the manager of the Moneyglass senior team preparing […]
I COULD nearly copy and paste a few articles from the last four years about this time of season and my club Glenullin, but that would do an unfair service to those involved in the senior team and set-up. Having just won the Derry Intermediate championship for the third time in four years, a lot of […]
