An incredible stat. In the last 11 seasons every team in Ulster has made the decider. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 10/06/2019 12:55:46 2192816 Link 6 |
This weekend was also the first ever weekend that all 9 ulster teams made an appearance. Al_Maguire (Donegal) - Posts: 246 - 10/06/2019 13:51:17 2192897 Link 1 |
Plus This will be Donegal's 8th final in 9 years, which makes that stat even more remarkable. Al_Maguire (Donegal) - Posts: 246 - 10/06/2019 13:52:48 2192898 Link 1 |
Am I right in saying donegal previously didn't do too well in Ulster? What's your total title count now?

Donegal have 9 titles, winning their first in 1972. This will only be the 2nd time Donegal and Cavan have met in the Ulster Final. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5017 - 10/06/2019 16:46:20 2193046 Link 1 |
Yes before this year Donegal have been in 22 finals and won 9. Their first was in 1963 and first win in 1972. We lost our next 5 finals in the years after we won our first All Ireland 1993-2006 But we were the first team to win consecutive Ulsters with both coming from the preliminary round in 2011-2012 Final record Down - played 5 Won 2 Derry - played 4 Won 2 Tyrone - played 3 Won 1 Monaghan - played 4 Won 1 Armagh - played 4 - Won 1 Fermanagh - played 1 won 1 Cavan - played 1 won 1 If we win this year we will move to 6th for total amount of titles by claiming our 10th - with Antrim, Derry and Fermanagh below us. So yes this decade is definitely unprecedented success, though the early 90s was a good period too. However we've still lost half of our Ulster Finals in the the last 9 years 4 wins v 4 defeats.

Sorry we've won 4 lost 3 so far this decade. Hope I haven't jinxed our 8th final :-)

Incredible stat. And easy to forget donegal haven't always been succesful. I wonder what kind of crowd you'll get at the final. 30k?

Clones holds ~ 36k. I'd imagine it'll be a sell out

Its a first final appearance for Cavan since 2001. Its a generation that have never seen Cavan win the anglo-celt. I expect it to be a sell out. Around 35/36K. The Ulster final and Connacht final have interest and not a very predicatable outcome. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 11/06/2019 09:40:53 2193349 Link 0 |
When Donegal won their first Ulster title in 1972 their manager Brian McNiff was also a player at WHB. When the won their first AI he was also their Manager. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 11/06/2019 09:54:28 2193358 Link 6 |
No, you were right first time mystic Al, 4 & 4 you keep it nice and symmetrically, and we'll do the same played 1 won 1 :-)

He's talking about Finals involving Donegal

Yes, and Monaghan beat Donegal in 2013, 2015 and lost to them in 2014. Also beat them in 1979 final.

Donegal and Cavan met in 1983 final with Donegal winning. I know from good authority that that was one of the biggest attendances ever at an Ulster Final before they got 'trendy' in the early 90's. PearseBro (Monaghan) - Posts: 459 - 11/06/2019 10:36:02 2193380 Link 0 |
That's some going alright. Still a bit of Down's 12 consecutive final appearances though. artisan (Down) - Posts: 1794 - 11/06/2019 11:25:20 2193406 Link 0 |
I meant Donegal have played Monaghan 4 times and Donegal have only won 1. We've lost more than won against most counties. Al_Maguire (Donegal) - Posts: 246 - 11/06/2019 11:52:40 2193419 Link 0 |
That's what I said, but from a donegal perspective. Monaghan - Played 4, won 1 Calm down Monaghan fans ;-) Al_Maguire (Donegal) - Posts: 246 - 11/06/2019 11:56:52 2193424 Link 0 |
Which in itself is a bit behind Cavans 18 finals in a row (they actually were in 23 out of 24 finals in a row). Even Antrim had 7 in a row back in the day!
