Scullion stresses the mental aspect

The All-Ireland Club championship is a far more even competition than its inter-county counterpart.

Why is it then that while Ulster champions Crossmaglen Rangers are this Saturday going for their sixth All-Ireland senior club football title in recent years, their hurling counterparts, Loughgiel Shamrocks, remain the only Ulster team to have won a club title way back in 1983?

That was the question we put to Loughgiel’s Joey Scullion recently, as he picked up his AIB Ulster player of the year.
