By Michael McMullan TIARNAN Flanagan praised the input of manager Malachy O’Rourke and his wing man Ryan Porter for their part in Glen’s success story. It’s a combination of wise words and peaking at the right time. An underage attacking star and Ulster Minor final goalscorer with Derry, Flanagan was handed a wing-back role with […]
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 Niall Gartland WHAT was your most memorable moment of the Ulster Senior Club Championship to date? It says it all that Rory Beggan has produced two of the stand-out moments – and neither were saves. His last-gasp winner against Kilcoo, an inch-perfect free where the ball flew like an arrow from its original station […]
THE big weekend has arrived when we will find out who will be crowned Ulster Club Champions for 2023.

By Niall Gartland TRILLICK boss Jody Gormley acknowledged that his players ‘died with their boots on’ after they were pipped at the post in Sunday’s drama-laden Ulster Senior Championship semi-final defeat to Scotstown. The Tyrone Senior Champions fell agonisingly short on the day, losing out by a single point after extra-time at the BOX-IT Athletic […]
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 […]
By Michael McMullan GLEN skipper Connor Carville praised the togetherness in the group as the key ingredient in coming through their acid test against Naomh Conaill. An penalty gave the Donegal champions a boost in a second half that saw the sides level on four occasions before Emmett Bradley kicked the Watties into next month’s […]
By Shaun Casey FOR a team that has dominated the club scene in Monaghan over the past 11 years, winning eight county titles, Scotstown have failed to really make a dent on the Ulster Club Championship. They’ve only competed in two Ulster finals during that time, losing to Crossmaglen and Gaoth Dobhair, and their most recent […]
