A fascinating scenario awaits in the Intermediate football final on Saturday.
A young Ballon team will attack empty space to win, while Grange are fast but tend to defend strongly.
“The whole year I have been trying to get it into them not to bring the ball into contact. It doesn’t suit a young and fresh team to take the ball into contact.”
Ballon manager Alan Kelly notes that Grange are dogged and will punish opponents who try to go through them.
Kelly led the team to a Junior A title last year and is aware of the challenges Grange pose.
