All-Ireland club football final: Kilmacud Crokes v Glen
Former All-Ireland player and manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice assesses the football final
"It's a great achievement for both clubs."
"For Kilmacud Crokes, to lose the final last year and come all the ways back this year is huge. Even to get back to a county final and win it is a fair journey, but to win it and go the distance to the All-Ireland final is a massive achievement.
"Glen are coming from a very different place. They won their first county championship and are in their first All-Ireland decider. They are very much a coming club.
"I heard Enda Gormley interviewed earlier in the season and they have a huge amount of work done in the background
"It’s a hard game to call. I think it is going to be very cagey. I think it will be a cagey game. Glen have had serious momentum all season. We shouldn’t underestimate that they beat Kilcoo along the way, who are such a hard team to beat
"Kilmacud have that huge motivation, the fact they lost the final right at the end last year. Manager Robbie Brennan commented after the semi-final how the screensaver on his phone was Kilcoo lifting the trophy last year and that was his motivation for the season.
"I think if the Glen can stay in the game right up until the end, they will be well there.
"They will have to shackle Shane Walsh, which is easier said than done and while he has looked a little tired of late, but if he cuts loose on Sunday, you’d fancy Kilmacud."
