 So Mark it's also our final week house preparations been going. I'm very good as she You know after the game against Monaghan I think it was just getting over that game and getting into this this also fine was the main goal You know, I think we've been no kind of you know Apologies all year that we've just kind of made the league a stepping stone for for also championship And we were being focused on that since you know day one back at training and the boys are buzzing I think the country's buzzing beyond that. Yeah, and we're all massive looking forward to them. Sure. He's all out Yeah, let's just look back at those two games with with Monaghan It took a huge effort on both days and it's particularly in the second day as well. They get over the line Yeah, you know fair fair play to the boys. I think we were kind of disappointed after the first game where we probably should have been You know, maybe maybe further ahead or definitely should have held on to the lead at the end of the game Which we didn't and it was kind of a anointing us back at training on the Tuesday night But you know, that's that's that's football like and we just had to get our head quickly around that and You know prepare ourselves for the following Saturday evening, which you know, you know, there's no bother to the boys and Rory had as well prepared and We you know, we we went all the ones blazing, you know, we went up We'd have brilliant start to the game. I think we're five five one or six one up and Give away two bad goals, which we were we were very disappointed about but again Dick dog deep and you know held out We probably should have won the game by a few more points But we dug deep and held on for the one at the end Is that something that just probably worked on since then that these Just don't want to concede more goals like which is which has had done on that game and maybe finishing the game out more Yeah, probably definitely two two things that definitely it's kind of you know to anybody It would be kind of obvious enough, but we were disappointed the two goals as in we probably switched off, you know The penalty no looking back. It probably wasn't even a penalty was outside the box But you know, it's that's this error for referee like it's just it happens. Everybody makes mistakes, but we We we have been looking at it and we said we think especially gets thrown like they scored five goals against Kevin and they probably could have got a lot more So we have to tighten we have to tighten up that defense to make sure that we don't Let them in as easy as maybe Kevin did but When looking at closing out the game, I Think we just kind of we look like we made like more nervous for the supporters of nothing else But yeah, we probably we're disappointed and maybe there's a there's a moment there and that you know maybe the last five minutes we give away some stupid ball and We were maybe should have just held on to it But you know every game is different if we're in that position At the weekend, which I hope we are with two or three points up with five minutes ago I think we'll learn from it and hopefully, you know, not not them mistakes happen again Yeah, well that games now put to bed and it's and it's a final now. What's to run gonna bring to the table. Do you think? Yeah, they're you know to be fair there are phenomenal team at the minute there they've taken a lot of new players and they've mixed it with no experienced boys as well and And They've you know people's been saying it's last few years Maybe they've been in transition and stuff like that and they got another in 75 last year Just narrowly beat out be you know a good carry team So there they are they are a top-top team machine like there's no there's no bones about it But like we're fully confident we're gonna match them on the day You know, they haven't they haven't won an Ulster also title now in a while and haven't beat us neither in a while So they're gonna be mad hungry I think and it's just up to us to match that hunger which I've no doubt we will and You know when comes tactically with Rory and the back room team, they're gonna get it right So it's all about the players and the panel performing to what what what they give us to do How hungry are you for another Ulster title you won one in 2011 and 2012 But you're on the fortune at the end of two results as well so suffer and defeat So does that drive you on more to the triangle and all our winners metal Yeah Suppose this is this is my fifth final. I missed out in 2014 when they won the boys wanted and So I have two two out of four the minutes of 50 percent, but there's nothing You know, we can't explain that hurt when when you lose an Ulster final There's nothing worse than it on I shouldn't be honest with you You just being bad form and you just it's it's just it's hard. It's hard to take Working where you know contrast that with one and it's it's just like night in the day It's like going to a wedding or going to a funeral. It's it's it's it's it's that it's like that But I was funny listening to Frank talking a few moments ago He remembers the defeats more than what he does does the victories I think you know any sports person will tell you that Any top athlete in the world will say that's the ones they remember the most because it's the one that's hurt the most Like enjoyment is just it's it's great at the time and you celebrate it and yeah, you know You embrace it with your friends and your family and you're you're you're you're the rest of the team But it's it's when when that when that defeat comes it's that pattern It's in your stomach and slinger in there like you heard Frank speak there And the whole it nearly lingers on the whole year long, you know We're a victory would just be over maybe in two weeks, you know You've won it and that's it but at a feet lingers on until you get around to the next time So I've you know, haven't won an Ulster title now since 2012 wrong year 2013 We lost in 2013 and last year unfortunately, so, you know It's really wanting to get back in the one and one ways and also finance What's it like preparing for this also finally compared to the first one that you were involved in in 2011 because you just come out of the the under 21 Set up and losing an all-arland final and then you are you were put straight into the starting lineup in 2011 And then you won an Ulster title. What's the differences now when you look back to a number of years ago? You know, it's it just it seems all kind of very new to you back then, you know you know, I suppose I was only a caddy at the time and It's coming in and you're you know to experience something new and you're kind of on a buzzbee also And you were just you kind of expected this to happen all the time You know, thankfully we have an Ulster title every every year since that But you know even speaking to older players then they says enjoy this while you can because this doesn't happen all the time but We were and we were in a frame mine that you know, this was great And we were on a flow when we're in a buzz and it just kind of took us along every game And you know one in that 2011 was just brilliant. I remember it was it was just you know You know to that date it was the best kind of moment of your life and the supporters and everything there And that's why the Ulster championship so special. I seem to be honest with you like it's It's it's just you know, why is that? Treasured so much an Ulster a provincial medal compared to to the rest of the country. There's this unique thing I think because they're so hard to one you say it's you know Donny got one one and 19 years back then like I remember he'll give out for me to say this I remember going up the steps that day in Franklin Glen was crying like you know It's that's that's that's how much it means it meant to them players and we were just coming and we thought this was just the norm We had won on us under 21 title Ulster title the year before and we just thought yeah, this is great They will bring on next year kind of way that but that that's not how football works we You know we went on but we lost a few and as I said, that's the ones that you kind of remember the most As I said, Ulster titles are so hard one and it's probably going to be one of the toughest ones We'll have to one this weekend, you know in Tarone They've just a phenomenal outfit at the minute So we have to we have to up our game big time from the modern performance and hopefully perform on the day How special would it be to one one with your brother Ryan Ryan's playing someone some fantastic football? But it's interesting to note all the years that they just have been playing football at such a high level You've never won the provincial title together mark. No, that's true. Um, as I said, I was away I was waiting states in 2014 when Dunningall beat Monahan Ryan one as first that time and then as I said last year when we were playing together We um We were Ryan actually playing 2013 as well where we lost and 2000 last year we lost So it would be really special to be honest with the ocean it'd be great for for our family like even own owners come in on the queue there and just three of us and other two boys in the club to five people involved it'd be great It's this and I really I really hope you know it happens and you know We we'd be driving the car together We actually just said that one of the days that we we hadn't we hadn't actually won an Ulster title together So um, yeah, it'd be just be brilliant type for for our family and for ourselves. You come on and played a Very crucial role the last day against Monahan and scored a very nice point as well And you'll be hoping that you play another key role this weekend at some stage mark. Yeah, you know as I said There's it's it's kind of a panel game at the minute and it's won the 26 Anybody could be called on at any time and you know It was unfortunate some circumstance the last day after Tony getting the black card that I had to be called upon as early as They probably probably would have expected but you know, we we can and we know our roles in the team We know we know where we we need to be at a time and We're ready if we get that shot and thankfully it worked out the last day, you know It's For me when I came on that we end up getting the result and listen to be honest with you performs Just go out the window as long as don't he'll get the result at the end of the day. Who cares well mark Thanks for talking to us. We wish you all the best this weekend. They'll stir final. Thanks very much watching
