Armagh came from nowhere to win this year’s SFC championship, just like Down did in 1991, a win that inspired Donegal, then Derry
For those who believe in omens, it stands to reason that Gaelic football’s breakthrough boys will have company in 2025.
Can the same thing happen in football next year? The bookies think so. They have Armagh as fourth favourites … to win Ulster, never mind the All-Ireland. With Murphy back, Donegal have a chance, especially when you consider the new rules which insist upon three forwards remaining in the scoring zone. You would swear Murphy wrote that amendment himself.
Similarly, the 2010-12 era, when Cork won their first title in 20 years, Dublin their first in 16, Donegal their first since 1992, coincided with the previous serial winners, Tyrone and Kerry, going through a transition. Never before has he had a team with as much talent as Tyrone, whose midfield — in the post Fenton era — will probably become the best in Ireland. Watch out for them in 2025.
