Armagh Club football & hurling

1-14 - 0-8.

2-15 - 0-9 there's cute hoors and then there's BCB😂

😂. In fairness that's the best I've seen us play in a very long time. Given we started without 4-5 normal starting players I was very impressed. Still nothing won so won't get carried away. Harps key men didn't deliver and we punished their mistakes very clinically. Still Cullyhannas to lose

Cross don't lose to Cullyhanna ever😎

Well apart from the last time they played them in the championship....

Harps very lucky to be so close. Cross playing very well, impressed with their keepers kick outs.

some of his kick outs, particularly in first half were exceptional. A couple of wayward ones in Second half but it really didn't matter as cross were in complete control. Score line flattered harps imo, who were very disappointing.

Keeper is only just turned 20. Played outfield up to u16 and was very talented player. Not the biggest but as brave as hell and a very good player as well as a keeper

Good effort tonight, but Cullyhanna might not provide as much space to allow for getting 2-22.

Is it going to be Ballymacnabs year?

I predict the cup will be in Ballymacnab, about 10 minutes before it arrives in Newtown.

And then another 8 minutes to Cullyhanna....

You are going in the right direction. What's next, 7 mins to a giant beacon on Carron Hill?

Cross v Cullyhanna
Maghery v Ballymacnab

[Ethan Tremblay]

The best 4 teams left in the championship and genuinely think any 4 of them can take it.  Its good to see the Armagh championship so healthy at last. 

Ballymacnab have been outstanding this year and Cullyhanna have been nothing short of great too.  Cross and Maghery are finally gaining steam at the right time also so 2 great semi finals coming up. 

[brokencrossbar1]

Genuinely think both games will be very tight. Cullyhanna and Maghery slight favourites but we could cause an upset and the Nab are the form team. Wouldn't rule any result out.

 Hope to at least make the cross v cullyhanna game. Has the potential to be a cracker with a bit of needle 

[yellowcard]

Maghery should dispose of the Nab, they are a bit more streetwise and the Nab have a weakness in defence.

Cross v Cullyhanna will be interesting and this could easily be the final I feel. Cullyhanna ambushed Cross 2 years ago in a game in which they were clearly second best. However the gap has narrowed since then as Cross have slipped back and Cullyhanna have improved sightly. Cross are 1/3 favourites with the bookies but it can only be based on past reputation and not current form. Up until last week I would have favoured Cullyhanna but Cross have got a few key players back and were seriously impressive against Harps last week so I believe that they will just about edge it.

Can't wait to see this match myself. Rangers were very impressive against us, but I feel looking back on it that a lot of that owed as much to our inadequacies on the night as it did to Rangers' excellence. That's why I am so looking forward to this match. My sense will be that St Pats will put a greater onus on keeping their defence much tighter than we did, which should leave it a close game.

The Nab have been very impressive this year, albeit in the league. They have had not had top play any of the main Championship challengers yet in the Championship, so this will represent a step up in class for them. James Lavery looked to have major fitness concerns against Madden, and his presence / absence could be crucial.

If I was pushed to give an opinion, I would tentatively go for a Rangers v Maghery final.
