County Final preview Mayobridge v Bryansford - 27/09/03
Holders Mayobridge are on target for their third SFC title in a row. Mayobridge
will take on Bryansford in what should be a very interesting county decider on
Sunday week at the Newcastle venue.
The 'Bridge booked their place in
the final with a good win over Castlewellan at Hilltown on Sunday, while their
opponents in the final, Bryansford accounted for Rostrevor in Newry on Saturday
evening last.
Mayobridge's ultimate aims this season are to win the county
title, and then have a 'real go' at winning the provincial and All-Ireland club
championships.
They are a very strong side with a number of talented
players in their ranks including 21 year-old Benny Coulter who has blossomed into
one of the best young players in the land at the present time - he has been pre-selected
to travel to Australia in October for the International Rules series. However,
they are far from a one-man side - especially with players such as Michael Walsh,
Ronan Sexton, Robbie Coulter - brother of Benny - and of course the legendary
Mickey Linden in their attack. With an attacking combination such as this they
look like a side well capable of winning national honours if not this season,
in the coming years.
Bryansford too, are a very young side well managed
by Benny Corrigan. He has a very determined squad of players who are hoping to
bring back the halcyon days of the 'seventies when the Saint Patrick's Park side
were the kingpins of senior football in the Mourne county. They are also very
ambitious and are going into the forthcoming with every hope of causing an upset.
It all adds up to a very interesting encounter which is sure to attract the crowds
to the Newcastle venue on Sunday week!
