Armagh Club football & hurling

Sure there must be some Tyrone in the water up about Maghery.

That would explain a lot.

Good wins for Tir Na Nog and Annaghmore to claim places in the Armagh Intermediate and Junior Finals respectively today! If Maghery could get over Cross it would mean that all three clubs from the 7 mile Portadown-Annaghmore-Maghery radius, will be appearing in the three County finals.

Good to see "Cheer" na nog winning today.

Be a shame now if Tír na nÓg didn't go all the way.

When is the last time a team went unbeaten in competitive football all year in Armagh? Did Cross do it in the last few years?

[T Fearon]

Don't know.I remember Tir Na Nog beating Cross in the League some years ago.Great achievement all the same,and hopefully they keep it going for the final!

I don't know about recently but we didn't lose a game from around June 1995 to October 1997, 1 full season and about another full season spaced over 2 seasons.

Cross -5 evens, good bet Tony?

You would think so, but they only beat Maghery by 5 last year in the quarter final, with a stronger team and Maghery not as well developed as they are this year. Price is about right at evens with a minus 5

Looked at that result and also took into account the hammering they give Pearse Og's (the second favs) Was talking to an Antrim lad that took the game in, he said Cross were very good that day, Og's started well in both half's and Cross blew them away in mid way through both half's

Must have been at a different game to me, Cross never got out of second gear, not one person turned up for the Ogs, they were truely awful throughout the team.

He sai they started brightly, did they score first few scores each half?  Cross were very good or rubbish?

The Ogs were terrible, Cross were in cruise mode, I am sure they had loads left in the tank but they didn't need to get out off second gear.  The Og's played for about 8 minutes.

I thought Cross were rubbish too, Ogs started brightly alright but Cross got goals at vital times that killed the game, Ogs just collapsed after. If Cross played like that again tonight I'd nearly fancy Maghery, but in all truth, anything other than a comfortable Cross victory will be a major shock.

[T Fearon]

Ogs were the better team up until the midway point in the first half, when Crossmaglen got a goal. The problem was that even when they were on top,Ogs never showed any belief or conviction whatsover that they could win the game, and were resigned to their fate midway through the first half, after the goal was conceded

One way or another, I doubt if Crossmaglen will get it as easy tonight as they did against the Ogs. The Maghery manager has also won Senior and Junior Championships with Tyrone clubs.

I really hope that it is a competitive game and not one that is effectively finished at the end of the first quarter

[T Fearon]

So the infallible JMcM is wrong? He says in today's paper that Maghery manager led Clonoe to Tyrone SFC?
