Conor Glass | All Ireland Club Final 2024 | Glen vs St Brigids

Completely took over the skies in the last 15 minutes when Glen needed it most. The word ‘colossus’ gets thrown around a lot, but this performance is fitting of being described as such.

@aidanmayomooney @RomellOuterSpac @fergalboylan2 Salthill would need to go up a few gears from their match at the weekend if they’re to have any chance.

@7ktwn9cdkk @fergalboylan2 @eoghanmckk Only thing you can forget to factor in is the Beggan factor. He could come out and kick 10+ points any day of the week. He’s the game breaker. From 2-14 I think Crokes and Cuala might be better than them, but he’s the outlier.

@7ktwn9cdkk @fergalboylan2 @eoghanmckk Shane Murphy.
Evan Looney.
Gavin White.
Mark O’Shea.
Charlie Keating. (⭐️)
Micheál Burns.
Tony Brosnan.

I tend to agree. They’re absolutely stacked. Casual supporters probably don’t realise how good Cian McMahon is also. He’d be a county senior in basically any other county.

@RomellOuterSpac @eoghanmckk @fergalboylan2 Brigids without two of their starting full back line, Sean Trundle and potentially Pearce Frost for the year makes them a lot more beatable. Both lads probably would have been in with Roscommon next year.

11 years on. Man of the match in the Ulster Club first round against Magherafelt. As I said, one of the greatest Ulster Club players of all time.

Kieran Hughes vs Crossmaglen | Ulster Club Final 2015.
9 turnovers won, 2 blocks, 10 forward kick passes.

One of the best Ulster Club players of all time.

@chazboat Jimmy schooled them sir

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

Diarmuid Connolly & Paul Flynn | 2014 All Ireland Semi Final | Dublin vs Donegal (1st Half).

A kicking masterclass in the 1st half. How many of them were two-pointers?

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Roryg36 Yeah to be fair you’re right. Been unlucky in recent Ulster attempts.
2021 they to Glen by a point and then in 2024 they only lost by 2 points to Errigal who went all the way to the All Ireland Club final. I do think those Eunans teams were better than this current one though.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

Scotstown beating the second favourites to win Ulster while missing two of their Monaghan County players (Max Maguire & Gavin McPhillips) for the entirety of normal time. The Ulster Club looks fairly ominous.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Franknlz210 If you think it’s close to £200,000 a year I’ve a handful of magic beans to sell you here.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

Think today could be the day that Magherafelt announce themselves on the Ulster stage. McEvoy and Higgins is probably the best midfield in the Ulster Club scene at the moment.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Franknlz210 Aged very well. They took the reigning Ulster champions to extra time and very much announced themselves on the Ulster scene. They’ll win it in the next few years.

Did Higgins take your missus by any chance?

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@jamesograd9bi9 Nope. 18 quickly got out of the way after this and O’Neill laughed at him.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

Fair play to Rian O’Neill for not reacting to this sly dig from Gowna 18 at the end of the game.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@morgan_mcdonagh @TomasORuanaidh Great call back

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Global_GAA Ah Jaysus! That Magherafelt team was stacked. A fully fit Scotstown team should walk the rest of this Ulster Club, it’s just if they can get everyone fit and firing.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Mountai92381069 Other side of the draw is very weak. Scotstown should walk the rest of the competition provided McCarron injury isn’t too bad and they get Maguire / McPhillips back fit.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@stevie_lfc05 I’d say taking the Ulster champions to extra time and playing as well as they did counts as announcing themselves on the Ulster stage. They’ll win it in the coming years.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Gaelicenjoyer Yep, Four Masters are going to win a Donegal SFC very soon, it’s just a matter of when. Muldoon, the Carrs, McCahill, etc they’re stacked.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@Gaelicenjoyer Yeah, I’d place a wager on Magherafelt winning an Ulster in the next 4-5 years. Think Errigal Ciaran will win one in that timeframe also.

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@steveharro11 That’s what made me go back and look at it!

[GAAPerformances @GAAPerformances]

@RonanFagan1 By laughing at them.
