"Dingle are not the greatest-ever All-Ireland club football champions. That's still the preserve of Corofin, who did the only three-in-a-row between 2018 and 2020, or the Crossmaglen Rangers team that won three in four years between 1997 and 2000."
"Their peaks were higher than any other teams; Cross's 2000 win against Na Fianna set a standard that Corofin reached and maybe even surpassed in beating bluebloods Dr Crokes and Nemo Rangers in successive years."
Corofin and Crossmaglen Rangers represent the highest benchmarks among All-Ireland club football champions, surpassing Dingle. Corofin achieved the only three-in-a-row from 2018 to 2020. Crossmaglen Rangers secured three titles in four years between 1997 and 2000. Both clubs reached higher competitive peaks than other teams. Crossmaglen's 2000 victory over Na Fianna established an exceptionally high standard. Corofin matched that standard in later years and may have even eclipsed Crossmaglen by defeating prominent clubs Dr Crokes and Nemo Rangers in successive championship finals.
