Armagh Club football & hurling

[thewanderer]

Dunno where you are coming from with that Wanderer...Clans & St Pats have no history whatsoever, infact i personally would rather have the Cullyhanna lads than then rest of the South Armagh brigade. It is a known fact that some players from St Pats have enjoyed several nights out with the Clans lads in Lurgan many a night (i think one or two of them even scored with some Lurgan females them nights too for their sins)

Il you should refer to winsamsoon, dont start to bribe them big cullyhanna boys with your left overs

Jasus them Cullyhanna men are brave if they take Lurgan women home...lol

Winsam just dislikes everyone FFS (even himself ) but def no history there. What you get anytime you play St Pats is a hard physical game and sometimes certain guys may need to use methods to win the ball thats not in the rule book but sure what about it i'd do the same myself given half the chance...good bunch of lads that i have plenty of time for.

Come championship time it'll be dog eat dog and i and St Pats wouldn't have it any other way

Am I right in saying that we now have a 15 team Senior championship, a 14 team intermediate championship and a 19 team Junior?

It'd make a lot more sense to have 3 championships of 16 teams each!

As for the draw, its tough for both our Senior and Junior sides, particularly the Juniors. I'd be happy enough with Clans though in a strange way even though its a hard draw. Obviously we'll be the outsiders on the basis that they'd have a great record against us - they win a fair percentage of games at Cullyhanna and we never win up there. That said, its the sort of game that is winnable if we're going reasonably well and perform on the day and if we were to beat an established championship side like Clans, it would provide a bit of momentum for the rest of the year.

I would have to agree, and i would also have 3 league divisions, and Tyrone has this system and it works a treat, with regards the 2nds teams, we should have an all county B League as opposed to North, Mid and south,

[armagh leg-end]

we should have an all county B League as opposed to North, Mid and south,   

It that not happening since there the Mid Board is gone?

[Onion Bag]

I mean a proper All County reserve/B/Seconds league whatever you wish to call it without different areas North and South divisions,

In Tyrone they play their reserve matches before their senior matches, and its an all county league

Surprised there hasn't been more chat about that on the thread. What do you think of the move? I think it's a good one as it'll mix things up a bit at underage, playing different teams that you're used to playing year in and year out.

[Onion Bag]

Does anyone have a full list of the Mid Clubs and which section they are in, North or South 

[thewanderer]

Asked this over in OC, but no answer.

Does the addition of the two new seconds teams create a precedent whereby any club wanting to enter a seconds team has to be facilitated, or did Killeavy and Cullyhanna fulfil any specific criteria in order to get their teams entered? Just wondering, beacuse it could get a bit messy if Ogs, or Harps, or Clans, etc., decide down the line that they want to enter a seconds team too.
