I would have expected a neutral venue, surely Armagh gives Cross an advantage?

zetecescort

odd one alright but maybe they tossed for Armagh or Clones

A lot of toing and froing. The only neutral grounds that could have facilitated the game were Newry and Breffni. One is much closer to Scotstown, one is much closer to Cross. They need lights as is a 3pm throw in. The AG is more or less equi-distance between the 2 areas and has lights so it made more sense.

Maybe the first time ever a Clonmel team has featured on television! Interesting that a major bookie is only giving 2/1 on Clonmel Commercials, this bookie must know that the Clonmel team are well capable of pulling off a surprise!

My own club Ratoath won the Leinster Club IFC this afternoon by beating Athlone 2-13 to 2-9 in Mullingar. It was a particularly poignant victory as the trophy presented to the winners is the Seán Eiffe Memorial Cup. Seán Eiffe was a Ratoath man who was killed on duty as a Gárda back in 2001 and Ratoath's new grounds which were opened in 2004 were named in his honour.

St Mary's Cahersiveen won the Munster IFC today also.

Is the pairing for all club grades the same for the SFs i.e. Munster v Leinster and Connacht v Ulster.

Not sure if it's the same for all grades but Marys will be playing Rathoath in the intermediate semi.

It's the same however the Munster champions in senior have to beat the London champions to reach the semi final and at junior the Munster champion has to beat the British champs John mitchel's

Clonmel beat Nemo 1-07 to 0-09 in Munster senior final.
So

Castlebar v Crossmaglen/Scottstown.

Underdogs but looked in control of the game from the start

Clonmel Commercial the first Tipperary team to win a Munster senior football championship and won it with a goal 2 minutes into injury time. Ulster final gone to extra time.

Incredible achievement.

I think that Paul Hearty the Crossmaglen goalkeeper and captain has won 19 county medals, 11 Ulster club medals and 6 all ireland club medals so far.

Loughinisland win the Ulster Club IFC by defeating Bundoran by the bizarre scoreline of 4-1 to 7 points.
The All Ireland IFC semi finals are:
Hollymount/Carramore (Mayo) v Loughinisland (Down)
St. Mary's (Kerry) v Ratoath (Meath)

We've also won 8 out of the last 12 ulsters so does that reflect on the whole province?

It isn't and there is a plan to have the AI club final in December which would move these back a few weeks.
But basically these games have to some time after county finals and unless these are in August the weather may be poor for the provincial finals.

Every year, the London champions face one of the provincial champions in the All-Ireland quarter-final and this year's clash is scheduled for December 13 in Ruislip, with Munster due up on the rotational system. Tír Chonaill Gaels won the London title for the second year in a row on Sunday, defeating St Kiernan's in the decider on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-12.
Newly crowned Munster senior football club champions Clonmel Commercials toasted the sweetest victory in their history last night, but the Tipperary men are in action again on December 13.

Charlie McGeever's side defeated Nemo Rangers in Sunday's Munster final to become the first ever winners of the competition from Tipperary, but they are in action again in a fortnight against London champions Tír Chonaill Gaels, who were also crowned on Sunday.

The London champions have proven to be sticky opposition in recent All-Ireland quarter-finals. Last year, Tír Chonaill Gaels restricted eventual All-Ireland champions Corofin significantly in a dour match which the Galway side eventually won 0-9 to 0-2. The previous year, Kingdom Kerry Gaels performed well against Ballinderry before losing 3-9 to 2-7.

The winners of this year's quarter-final will face the Leinster champions, either Ballyboden St Enda's (Dublin) or Portlaoise (Laois), in the All-Ireland semi-final on February 13. The Leinster final takes place this Sunday, December 6, in Tullamore at 2pm.
