‘Unfinished business’ drives Crossmaglen to another decider

IF they sound arrogant they don’t mean too but Crossmaglen make no bones about the fact that, by qualifying for the All-Ireland Club Football final, they believe they are back where they belong.

The new millennium was less than three months old the last time the south Armagh club was crowned All-Ireland champions and for a side that takes winning trophies to be their birthright that sticks in the craw.

The closest they came to returning to Croke Park for Paddy’s Day before yesterday was at the same semi-final stage two years ago when Portlaoise edged them out in a drab and disjointed affair in Dublin.
