Replying To farneygael3:  "Champagne our county champions don't begrudge them. Just because they are 8-10 points better, when at full strength, than those chasing them you shouldn't be bitter. Hard work got them to this level so it's up to the rest to simply get better and lay a glove on them!"
Hard work, lot of talent and huge numbers meant multiple titles.. a certain transfer 3 years ago ensured they stayed ahead of the pack, without that transfer they wouldn't have came out of the county never mind challenge for ulster over these last 3 years.. and before anyone jumps down my throat that's a truth and a sheer fact… aside from the fact that McCauge is a managerial genius performing miracles…..

Nothing to do with transfers. Donal Morgan is the key component this year and the boys of '89 will be emulated

Replying To HB245:  "I'd be thinking Scotstown by 3 or 4, depending on McCarthy's fitness. If he's fit to come on at HT, then they will win. Very few teams in the country have the size to match Scotstown around the middle third, and Kilcoo are not one of them."
every team kilcoo play have bigger men all over the field, that won't be winning or losing the game here.
Scotstown need to stop kilcoo running through them like last year.

Can't agree there based off the Newbridge game, everyone in the county should be hoping they do win as it reflects well on our competition but you'd have to be doubtfull. Take a look at the newbridge game how many times did Scotstown look poor when the newbridge attacker broke the first tackle for me that's the winning of the game for kilcoo along side the fact kilcoo has certain Monaghan men in their set up!
