Rebel County can lay down historic marker

Here’s an interesting question. Granted, it may be a little too deep and existential, not to mention downright unanswerable, for a Saturday morning, but let that pass.

How likely is it that what unfolds before our eyes in Thurles tomorrow will be a meaningful national league final? Not just ‘meaningful’ as in well contested, but ‘meaningful’ as in a match of considerable future significance, ‘meaningful’ as in we’ll look back at it at the end of the year, or in a few years’ time, and conclude that yes, that was a match that served as a major pointer to what was to follow down the road.

Some league finals do just that. Some league finals definitely don’t.
