Ballyhegan v Annaghmore

This past Sunday saw Annaghmore open their division three campaign away to local rivals Ballyhegan.  In the first league game between the sides in many years, it was the away side that started the brighter but despite 5 minutes of constant pressure they could not make their early domination count and 6 shots dropped into the keepers arms were all they had to show from the opening exchanges.  As a result it was Ballyhegan who opened the scoring as the home side began to settle but there lead was short lived as Matthew McNiece notched his first score of the day from play to open the away team's account before Shane Smyth put Annaghmore into a deserved lead after 15 minutes.  It was Ballyhegan who then began to dominate and only a fine save from Martin Willis denied them a first goal. They did get the next two scores during a 5 minute purple patch, the second of which was a free from their top scorer Paddy McKeever.  Matthew McNiece levelled the game after 20 minutes before Paddy McKeever's second free of the day put the home side back in front 5 minutes before half time.  As the half time whistle approached Annaghmore began to insert their authority again and Oisin MacIomhar's goal ensured they lead at the break by 1-3 to 0-4.

The second half started slowly as the snow began to fall in North Armagh and it was the home team who adjusted the better to the fluctuating conditions as Paddy McKeever raced through the Annaghmore defence to score the games second goal.  The goal seemed to inspire the home team and from the ensuing kick out they were able to score again to open up a two-point lead.  As the snow continued to fall the game again slowed but this time it was Annaghmore who responded better as points first from Michael McQuade and then two frees from Shane Smyth put them back into the lead.  As time began to expire it seemed that a Paddy McKeever free had salvaged a draw for Ballyhegan but a John McCormack 14 yard free deep into injury time gave Annaghmore a much deserved away win on a final score line of 1-7 to 1-6.

Annaghmore Scorers

O MacIomhair 1-0, S Smyth 0-3 (2 frees), M McNiece 0-2, M McQuade 0-1 J McCormack 0-1 (1 free)

Good win for Cullyhanna versus Harps by thirtenn points to seven . Excellent performances from Malachy Mackin and Barry Mc Conville in midfield and Liam O Hare and Aidan Mackin in attack. Harps very disappointing though even with all their county men apart from Peader Toal play :Ding. Ciaran Mc Keever came on as a sub for St Pats early in the game and made a big difference. Goods start for the pats. Heard that Pearse Ogs Beat Mullaghbawn and drominte beat maghery.

[armagh leg-end]

madden beat lissummon today by 2points in a game which could have went either way!

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Good win for Cullyhanna versus Harps by thirtenn points to seven . Excellent performances from Malachy Mackin and Barry Mc Conville in midfield and Liam O Hare and Aidan Mackin in attack. Harps very disappointing though even with all their county men apart from Peader Toal play Cheesy Cheesy :Ding. Ciaran Mc Keever came on as a sub for St Pats early in the game and made a big difference. Goods start for the pats.

Unfortunately I couldn't make the game meself but what a great result and sounds like a good performance. Brilliant start to the season beating the county finalists away from home.

[McLovin]

Cruppen and the Nab drew 0 - 11 to 1-8. We stole a draw with a late Paul Keenan goal and free. We played none but never gave up. The nab handy enough, very fit for early season.

[crossfire]

Cross were short a few regulars for their visit to lurgan and were 5 nil down after 15 mins but a goal from Oisin got them going and they eventually went ahead after half time. However Clans fought back and held a one point lead going into injury time when substitute  Cathal Short scored a goal to snatch victory for Cross.

corn - philip loughran is living in newry area now and heard from a reliable source that cathal o'rourke has been onto him regarding transferring to dromintee

maybe uladh could shed some light on this

[diesel-smuggler]

cruppen travelled to windswept ballymacnab today for the opening fixture of the new season and came away somewhat fortunate with a point!

ballymacnab well organised team, full of running and working for each other had been winning by 5 points at one stage and going into injury time was leading by 4 - referree played 7 minutes injury time added on to cover a number of second half injuries.

one thing for sure on their performance today alot of teams will find it hard coming away from ballymacnab with any points, on saying that i dont think we could play as bad as we did again! we i certainly hope not!

heard granemore beat whitecross by 4 points!

any other results???

[bennydorano]

Harps very disappointing though even with all their county men apart from Peader Toal play :Ding.

Whats the smilies about

Very impressed with Cullyhanna, very mobile team and will have little difficulty keeping their premier status, but their sights are probably set a lot higher than that, they will be a handful for every team in the division.  For a team with a bit of a bad name they were very disciplined, even saw the coach reprimanding the subs for some mouthing.

A game the Harps will want to forget in a hurry, Phiily McKinney was our best player by a long stretch, with some sporadic good play from Ebby Toal & Nippy.

I wouldn't worry about it benny, they'll get a beat a few times and he won't be around.

Division Two
Silverbridge 0-6; St Michael's 0-8
Tir na nÓg 2-13; Sarsfields 2-8
Whitecross 1-7; Granemore 1-10
Ballymacnab 0-11; Carrickcruppen 1-8
Clann Eireann v Keady (Off)
An Port Mor 0-8; Wolfe Tones 2-15

Great to see Whitecross and Cruppen dropping points already (nothing personal).  Surprised at the extent of the Tones victory, is An Port Mor that poor or have Tones improved drastically from last year?
