i left at HT and they were 1pt down and hurling well - what happened?

I think you were sitting behind me, we actually came out and scored a goal to go 2 up after ht, the game was very tight up until the last ten minutes, the game turned on a strange refereeing decision. the Cuchulainns had a sideline on the 65 and took it too short, the ref blew it up and gave a FREE from the spot were the player received the short sideline, the free was dropped into the square and buried by carrickmore. In saying that the tyrone side were far more up for the fight and over the 60 minutes the better team and fully deserved their win and I hope they go on and win the final as they are an Armagh League team.

spirit does that mean the county final was a flash in the pan as keady would have tanked c,more im sure. big set back or a one off?

I think since the county final the heart just wasn't in it for the boys but in saying that i didn't expect to see them beat by 14points

A mixture of a few small problems added to the performance, missing goalkeeper and a couple of players played that werent fit but just a bad ten minutes saw carrickmore take the game, would agree with spirits assessment.

Good luck to Keady and Carrickmore in their respective finals.

what do the cuchulainns fellas think about going into the ulster champ after getting beat in the armagh champ?
from a camlough point of view i think we found it hard to get up for it after the disappointment of the armagh champ. ur heart just doesn't be in it for a week or 2.
i think if we were playing anyone other than a weakened coleraine team in the ulster 1/4 final we'd have got beat. it took us until half time in the iniskeen game to start playing again.
did u's find this too? or are we unmotivated hures!!?

[Mr.T]

PS: well done to Keady.

I don't think Keady would tank Carrickmore to be honest, wouldn't be much between them.

Agreed, Keady/carrickmore would be tight. A four point defeat in a county final a flash in the pan, what you on about.
