As soon as St Brigid’s had secured their spot in the All-Ireland final, they were referencing the last one. Two years ago, St Brigid’s lost out to Glen by a single point in Croke Park. The Monaghan star kicked 11 points in the Ulster final but only landed one 45 in Kingspan Breffni. That last All-Ireland final defeat has always lingered, even when they failed to get out of the Roscommon championship in 2024. That (All-Ireland final) would be there, we were disappointed lost year losing the county championship.
