Armagh Club football & hurling

Paul Kernan will be serving his ban from what I've heard (much to my suprise I must say).

If PK is absent that would be a significant boost for us as i would imagine Francie will head back to FB, 2 years ago in the semi in the Athletic Grounds he was cleaned by Beefer and K Kelly and a different ref could have lined him for his persistent fouling.  Cross are obviously huge favourites but we can give them a game;  we've played games this year were we've been fantastic for 15 or 20 mins and then played woeful for the rest of the game, if we can play well and maintain that over the hour we have a slim chance - if Cross get a good start we could be screwed.

At the minute I still think  the champ is the Ogs to lose, although there's potential there for an upset this weekend, Granemore have hit a nice run of form and have had 2 high tempo legue games in recent weeks against teams that are more than the equal of anything in Division 1 while the Ogs have been footering about with half teams in the league.

Why is it a surprise.?

[bennydorano]

As teams invariably try (and most succeed) to get it reduced to 2 yellows & not just Cross, P loughran in Crup v Cross being a good example

Paul Kernan had his red card downgraded to a yellow tonight by the Armagh County Board after they viewed a video of the incident kindly given to them by Dromintee GFC.
