Said it before, once they took Jack it ended the Senior Championship as a contest.As long as Rory and Jack are there they'll continue to dominate. Doesn't matter who's managing Scotstown or any other team. Scotstown have too many good players not to win."
No I was being serious…… they're performing miracles with such limited resources midboggling achievements……

Scotstown are clear favourites for championship maybe the biggest favourite in ireland. But imagine if Clontibret parish had all three clubs playing for them.
Clontibret-Doohamlet-Cremartin

Heavy on the Jack point. He single handedly beat inniskeen in the county final his first year with scotstown, without him they might not win that championship .

Man of the match in his 1st two county finals, highly likely they wouldn't have come out of the county the last 3 years without him and most definitely wouldn't have won an ulster without him…and if currin had him they'd be intermediate…

Very fair point.

Stephen Mooney, Barry Mc Bennett maybe Jamie Mooney that is probably the height of it that would start.

Would have a very strong bench though. Colin Walsh, Jamie Walsh, Barry McGinn, Hanley.

Ulster Club draw was made, decent chance for Scotstown and the Intermediate and Junior champions . Senior and Intermediate play the Derry champions and are on same side of draw as Donegal and Fermanagh champions. Avoiding Kilcoo, Tyrone winners, and Armagh

Whoever comes out of junior will have some chance quarter final vs Antrim team then semi final against Down or Fermanagh. Avoiding Tyrone Donegal Derry and Cavan is a big boost.
