Monaghan looking to begin own era of Ulster dominance

ULSTER SFC FINAL:

Proof, perhaps, that while Ulster may be difficult to conquer, it can be an easier proposition to subjugate thereafter. Now Monaghan, the defending champions, have the opportunity to stretch that sequence on a further 12 months this weekend.

The last 15 years have borne witness to the dual dominance of Tyrone and Armagh, followed by the emergence of Donegal who themselves have the opportunity to win a third title in four years in Clones this weekend.
