Another big hitter in st brigids have been knocked out of the all Ireland series. The two Connacht finalists are unimpressive. Cuala have been somewhat coasting. Ulster is relatively weak compared to other years. This is it for scotstown. They have the county players, the depth, experience, youth, legs, coaching, star factor. Anything short of an all Ireland for this team would be a disappointment. They'll still be able to cruise through monaghan, and make a push at Ulster. But all Ireland club windows aren't wide, and can take a bit of luck with injuries and matchups. They won't get a better chance than this year.

Completely agree, after this year they could lose Darren Hughes and others may start to retire so they will begin to slowly regress by a small bit. Of course they will still dominate Monaghan for the foreseeable but they are playing better this year than last and have everything you listed so it's now or never for the All-Ireland.

Plenty of good teams still left in it , would be asking for trouble looking ahead of Ulster , Cross won't fear Scotstown , they have history behind them and scotstown have had similar standard of teams before and underachieved in Ulster new mind all Ireland , Brigids beat them well last year TommyBowe (Monaghan) - Posts: 18 - 15/11/2026 18:06:44 2700459 Link
They'd be very silly to look past next wknd. Upsets happen for a reason, the new rules means almost every game this time of year is a 50-50, no bad teams left. All that said they are favourites for Ulster and after that it's a lottery. Their experience from last year will stand to them MonaghanMan44life (Monaghan) - Posts: 311 - 15/11/2026 20:26:18 2700477 Link
