Brave Brigid’s set to fall at final hurdle

WE should get a game today. The portents are good. These generations of Crossmaglen and St Brigid’s footballers subscribe to an attractive brand of play and on a wide open space like Croke Park with the forecast not too inclement there are reasons to be cheerful.

The clubs have been scoring too, averaging between a total of 15 and 18 points a game, and it wouldn’t be in the new Crossmaglen style to say no to a shoot-out.

The obvious threats to each other would be the inside forwards of Jamie Clarke and Oisín McConville and Frankie Dolan and Senan Kilbride.
