Armagh Club football & hurling

Culloville 1-7 St Pat's 0-9

Threw this one away. Very disappointing. Culloville made a great start and scored a goal in the first couple of minutes. They ran us ragged in the first 15 with some lovely football and should have been further than 1-2 to no score up. We came back into the game well in the second quarter but unfortuntely we seemed insistent on going for goals rather than taking the easy point available. Three great saves from the Culloville goalkeeper meant they were a couple of points ahead at half time, though to be fair they also missed a lot of very scoreable chances.

We came out all guns blazing in the second half, took th game at midfield and started to dominate. Eugene Casey got a couple of points. When we went 0-8 to 1-3 up I really thought we were going to win the game comfortably but unfortunately we simply stopped playing in the last quarter. Culloville took over at midfield and some silly errors losing possession and giving away scoreable frees meant that they won the match in injury time. Bitterly disappointing and with an away match in Dromintee next week, we really needed the points.

Best for Cullyhanna were Tony Donnelly, Gary McCooey, Michael Murray and Mal Mackin. One positive was that the younger players really came to the fore. In hindsight we badly missed Ciaran McKeever in the last quarter of the match.

Pearse Ogs 1-13
Dromintee 1-5

I think that was the final score anyway

tommy powell was workin wonders with the scoreboard.  think it might have been 1-12 to 1-5.
ogs looked very strong going forward until ronan clarke got an injury which i thought would force him to come off but he played most of the 60 mins without doin too much else. he played a wonderfull ball into conor clarke ealry in the game before 'shorty' dummied the goalie and lashed into the empty net. a brilliant ogs move in the 2nd half resulted in a fantastic delicate score from sean moore. other main talking point was jp donnellys sending off after the dromintee penalty incident. the tackle didn't deserve a yellow never mind a straight red so i presume there was some mouthing involved on jp's part.
all in all a good result for the ogs and hopefully a good league campaign is in store.

Harps won at a canter.  

Harps 2-16
Ballyhegan 1-06

Vernon, Swift & Simon Lennon outstanding. Ballyhegan will struggle this year and will pick very few points up away from home. But at home they are a different opposition and they need to win the vast majority of their home games to survive in Div 2. As for Harps, they played some nice free flowing football today. I would have fancied them strongly to go up but the loss of McConnville, McCoy & Kelly to the states along with the loss of Vernon & Holmes to their respective counties may prevent this.

all in all not a great spectacle today as their was only 1 team in it 10mins into the 2nd half. Harps done what they had to do and they took some great scores especially the two goals from Morrison & Nippy Swift.

Long may it continue.

Could have been a bigger win for Ogs if it wasn't for some poorly missed scores and great goalkeeping from Philly McEvoy.

It just wasn't Dromintee's day. A lot of boys cannot be faulted for effort but things just didn't work out on the pitch due to a number of reasons not least the lack of some of our best players through injury. I still thought Dromintee had enough quality though to get something from the game.

Ogs looked very good going forward at times and we failed defensively to get to grips with this. As for the sending off, it was for mouthing, he had been mouthing the whole game and fairplay to the referee for taking none of that shit. I actually think it hindered us as we were coming back into the game and when Ogs got the man sent off we didn't know what to do with the extra man and were incompetent in attack.

Any predictions for this weekend? Here's what I think anyway:

Sarsfields v Clan na Gael (Draw)
Carrickcruppen v Crossmaglen (Carrickcruppen)
St Patrick's v Culloville (St Patricks)
Pearse Og v Dromintee (Dromintee)
Mullaghbawn v Killeavy (Mullaghbawn)

I was on the wind-up...

Sarsfields Beat Clans..0-13 0-3 

[pearseog]

thats a shocking result for the clans!

[lurganblue]

The clans were very poor this evening. They never showed the same desire or energy that the sarsfields did. It could be a hard road for us this year but hopefully we'll improve quickly

[cillsleibhe]

Mullaghbawn 1.06 - Killeavy 3.12

Mullaghbawn ahead by 2 at half-time 0.6-0.4  Killeavy had a storming second half scoring 3.8 with Mullaghbawn scoring just once (goal).  Killeavy were impressive in the second period though to be honest Mullaghbawn were very poor and seem certain to struggle.  Their frustration showed at the end when Enda McNulty got a straight red.

Granemore beat the Nab, 7-6, typical derby game, pulling and dragging

[Our Nail Loney]

Tones drew with Clann Eireann
