Enda Muldoon believes Ballinderry's ability to win close matches will stand them in good stead against Crossmaglen in Sunday's Ulster club football final. Despite walloping Cavan Gaels by 10 points in the semi-final, the Derry champions have been no strangers to tight battles this year, having been pushed to the limit in a number of their county championship games. "The Cavan Gaels match is the only game we've won handy this year," the Derry star said. "We've had it tight in our county championship and we've been fit to grind out wins, which we're maybe not renowned for. We're just happy to be getting the results and that's what counts." He added: "Everybody was looking at a Ballinderry-Crossmaglen final, but we're just glad to be in the final no matter who is there. Crossmaglen is a huge challenge for us. It's massive. "At the end of the day, they are the benchmark in club football. Everybody looks up to them. Everybody wants to do what Crossmaglen have done. We're no different. We want to be the same as Crossmaglen, better if we can. So we'll give it a good go in the final." Tweet
