Armagh Club football & hurling

[brokencrossbar1]

Told u they're finished...BC1 called it too. Prob never hear from that Cross team again

I genuinely didn't see that one coming. I honestly believed that Harps would have learned from last year and that maybe this year their big men would step up and answer the questions that have been asked of them before. There were very few Harps men who can have any credit apart from McElroy, McConville and Mini McShane. I didn't see many weaknesses in us yesterday and I have to say that this years championship was no good to us. We beat 1 team by 17, 1 by 12, 1 by 5, 1 by 3 and the final by 18! I didn't see the Maghery game but I saw the Pearse Ogs game and they were not really 5 points behind us as we were very sluggish and really should have won by 10+ points that day. In the last 5 years we have won the finals by 25 in 2011, 7 in 2012, 9 in 2013, 17 in 2014 and 18 in 2015. It is getting ridiculous at this stage. I remember I was laughed at about 10 years or more ago on the old board when I said we would win the majority of the next 10-15 years. Even I couldn't have imagined it to be so dominant. The scary thing is there were 8 minors on the squad yesterday winning their first medal. There will be at least 2-3 from next years minors who will step up and then there is the this years u14 team coming up who have a great group of young lads.  I don't see where the challenge will come from. Clann Eireann are up and coming but 3-4 years playing and losing in the senior championship will cause a lot of disillusion in them.

Ulster is a big challenge now and I will go to next weeks Antrim final a very interested observer.

Most teams are just scared of yous with harps number 1 at the queue. I'm sure Cullyhanna are disgusted that they got beat by harps this year.

Maybe but they've had several chances to beat us and haven't stepped up either.

True. But in the last five years only the nab have taken a bigger hiding in the final. No disrespect to the harps but they had a chance to correct things yesterday and they failed. Almost embarrassed for them

You can only give credit to Cross but Armagh football is so bad, for a team to win 19 out of 20 championships is unreal. Can Cross realistically win 9 from the next 10?(absolutely) How bad would that be for the rest of the clubs.

BC1  i know Cross & Clann Eireann were very evenly matched in the minor final...what's the talent like of the young minors on the squad yesterday?

There would be 3-4 of the minors on the squad that would start on most other senior teams in the county.  The 2 lads who came on yesterday and Stephen Morris definitely.  3 lads who are all good players and all in excess of 6 ft and growing into a really good players.

Looking forward to Cross v Kilcoo should be a cracker. I think Cross will beat them by 2pts

Is mise le meas

Cross only 4/6 in the betting...would have thought both teams would have been a bit closer in the betting. Cross by 2pts for me as i think Cross would have set their sights on Kilcoo from a long way back and as much as they wouldn't admit it REVENGE will be top of their list and is a great motivator...

Personally couldn't give a rats arse about ladies football

All change on the club scene with introduction of 6 Divisions comprising 8 teams on a home and away basis - top two senior, middle two intermediate, bottom two junior. Should make for a more competitive environment with less dead ringer matches. Club football needs a shot in the arm so maybe this will provide it
