 So Ben looking forward to an Ulster final. What's it been like in training this week? Obviously there hasn't been a lot of time between the semi-final and the decider Ben, but what's training be like? I'm sure there's a great atmosphere there. That's a great atmosphere surely probably best that there's only a weekend between it And so boys don't get carried away, you know those two weeks a lot of time to dwell on it But We'll we'll be happy now to get Sunday over as hopefully with a positive result. Yeah Just maybe touching that semi-final. It was a huge game and when it came down to that to the nuts and bolts of the Tie that was used guys that that came through it and the bench proved its worth so it did last weekend with Gary Bannon and Kyle coming on to give the all-important scores Definitely it was a tough game. Sean Kerrman's a very tough side and We knew that going on to it that we'd need to be at our best then we learned 14 men maybe helped us but Kyle Was unlucky not to start in the semi-final. He's probably disappointed in point of proof coming off the bench and got the goal And Gary say he's been injured most of the season. So that was his first real game back and kept two massive scores for us to Get us over the line. Yeah, do they Do the performances now put pressure on the management because these boys will be looking for starts this weekend Well, definitely. I wouldn't want to be picking the team this weekend. A lot of boys pushing for positions Not even just the two boys there, you know There's other boys in the bench that have been pushing for positions all season and defense as well as attack So they have a tough job in their hands. Yeah, and all the legs have shown boys have been carrying a knock and Danny McBride Has been soldier and on through carrying a knock over the last number of weeks as well How is fixed personnel ways is everybody available Ben? I know everybody wants to be available given the fact There's a ritual final everybody will be putting their hand up anyway, but I know we're in good enough shape So we are a Gary was carrying a knock he's back now and Danny he came off at halftime the last day But he should be all right for the weekend in the end and she in She's looking all right as well So hopefully with full panel to pick from and we'll need the full panel to get passed in You know, they're tough a tough team from what we sing. Yeah How would you sum up playing an Ulster football this year? Because I know that the management wanted you guys to be in an Ulster final that that was the target So it was and Barney Korn has spoke a lot about that over over the last number of weeks What's the overall experience been like in an Ulster for you, Ben? It's been great You know the club's been been in it twice before the junior Ulster championship and hasn't got past the semi-final stage So a lot of pressure on us. Maybe when there's a lot of talk about it this season once we won the county championship But you know, it's great We've I feel like we've been getting better each game as we went on You know the quarter-finals when they played for a half really and The down champions came back at us and then the last day again up against a strong team, but we managed to Get the points over the bar at the right time and you know, hopefully we'll do the same on Sunday You know what it matters Wasn't the last day was a big physical team that you met in Sean McDermott's. What do you know about the cabin champions, Dan? Well, we've only seen what they played this year in the Ulster championship What's been very odd? I've watched the game against Deza Martin, you know They'd be much like ourselves and the way they set up. So but they've a couple of good forwards and Defenders they're sort of well-rounded all over the pitch really. So we'll have to be at our best, you know, the no doubt It'll go down to the wire and they'll push us the full way. Yeah, where do you see the threats coming from what you've seen? Even they're full for or they're all for full forward line and Sunday, you know, with a couple guys that play for cabin and They'll have to be well-martialed, you know And they've a centre-half back there and their full backs tidy as well So, you know, the boys wouldn't be on their top game to get over to get over the line Yeah, it's you know, you've been around round the block But you're not that old you're 27 years of age Ben, but you've played on a lot of donings team You mentioned about Dan been a well-rounded team Is this probably the the best down in squad that that you've been part of or probably the most rounded down in squad? If you want to put that way that you've been part of I would say so, you know There's with threats all over the all over the pitch even, you know, so man And we started 13 in the back, but he plays as a sweeper and he attacks very well One of our most underrated players, you know, he comes up with goals and points all the time very important for us And then you've four or five scorn forwards there who puts ball over the bar every game. So It's it's a good squad we have there, you know, when it's not even the 15 that start It's it's the funnishers as we like to call them who come on and get the game over the line And there's a lot of boys pushing for jerseys. So there'll be a lot of jerseys off of grabs now and Sunday, but they I'm sure the management will get the red calls. Yeah, I know I spoke to Hugo McClaffrey the club secretary earlier He said that the the atmosphere is unbelievable in downings at the moment amongst the the community And it's it's great to be having it this time of year, Ben. Definitely. You never thought you'd be getting prepared for an Ulster final the week before Christmas A maybe Christmas helps with the buzz about it, but a lot of people come and home and stuff A But the atmosphere has been great, you know, everybody's talking about it And I'm sure there'll not be a light left on downings and Sunday everybody being cloners watching us. Yeah Yeah, I also said them about Progressing next year and Donny Gaul an intermediate football as Ulster champions would be a big statement But there is the sort of carrot that there's an all-out in series of you if you can get through that as well I know we're probably talking about it, but that's something that you're not thinking about Ben No, definitely not. I we were just fully focused on Sunday and taken on the cabin champions, you know And I think after that there obviously be a great bonus for the club, but They were our full focuses on Sunday Yeah, just finally then you had some big performances this year You had a huge performance in the junior championship final to lift the title and Donny Gaul You beat the down champions They did a big one last week in fairness to beat the monagons side Sean McDermott Will it take the best performance of the year? If you're going to come through this next one definitely well, you know Denner in the final for a reason They're a great side, you know great players so From one to 30 will need to be added on Sunday if we want to be bringing the trophy back to Dernons on Sunday evening Okay, well, I hope you're right. Just bring it home. She's do listen Ben. Thanks for talking this and the best of luck on Sunday. Well, thanks
