Eoin Gormley gives Scotstown every chance of upsetting Crossmaglen in Sunday week's Ulster club SFC final.

Gormley lined out at midfield on the Trillick team that suffered a narrow defeat to the Monaghan champions last Sunday, and was suitably impressed by what they had to offer.

"Scotstown are a vastly experienced team, and I wouldn't like to be backing against them to go on and win Ulster," he told the Tyrone Constitution.

"They're superb all-round the field, and even the reinforcements they brought in, all big physical strong men, and I think they're well capable of winning Ulster."

Although disappointed not to reach the Ulster final, Gormley acknowledged that it had been a memorable first season in senior football for this Trillick team.

"We're very, very disappointed, but it has been a fairytale year for us. We thought we had the pedigree to go all the way, but we were just pipped at the post on the day," he continued.

"This team has been absolutely fantastic all year, and it's a real credit to the club that we have got to this stage - a small club coming from intermediate last year. I think it's just a great achievement, and hopefully we'll be here for a while.

"We spoke about it in the huddle after the match, we can hold our heads up with great pride, we know that the whole club and the whole county is proud of what we have done this year."
