Armagh Club football & hurling

[illdecide]

because it wouldn't be even close to competitive....

You're prob right Uladh, but you can be sure none of you're team mates would make the region team

[Uladh]

everyone has their dreams !!

ours are just a little simpler than most...

[winsamsoon]

I think you may under estimate the challenge of the north of the county if they were to almagamate. Sure some of the teams are already half way to regional teams because they are amalgamating with new teams left right and centre. Every year there is a different name at under age. I reacall playing an under 21 side one time . they were amalgamated to form a team you know to give the lads a game  They stuffed us in Tir Na Nog and we had a fairly decent team, But i guess it is hard for one team to beat three.

Interesting question then.
Try and pick a strongest 15 for your area.

I found it imposible for the South.

Ps does Marty Lavery stil lplay for Clans?

[Uladh]

Ah now that's juvenile and will only cause division. but....

I'd go for

                Hearty

Shannon    Bellew      Kernan
McKeever  O'Rourke   Kernan

        McKenna    O'Neill

O'Rourke   Kernan      Kernan
McConville  McDonnell O'Rourke

edit - adjustments on second thoughts!

Yes he is. It would be hard to pick a team for all regions as people have different opinions on players abilities. All 3 regions would be strong and anyone who says otherwise is a fool. You can only play 15 at a time and there is surely 15 good players in all 3 regions. And get off your high horse about the south, there are plenty of dodgy players down there too! This is very intriguing now I wish it could happen on some level - maybe as a charity event each year. It would be great maybe even as a St. Paddys day event? If each region really committed to it as a one off each year it could be Armaghs 'Railway cup'.  

[Uladh]

Unbelievably you have a good idea there. our version of the dunblin blues match our whatever its called.

Mid

               McKinney

McCoy      Toner          Mallon       
Duffy       McCormack   McClelland

         Swift           Holmes

Toal         Loughran     Vernon
Clarke      Clarke          McCone


North

                  AN Other

Moriarty       Donaghy    clans cnr bk
McDonald     Rafferty     Courtney
   
       McGrane         Lavery

McKeever    O'Hagan     Mallon
Forker         Marsden     AN Other

[corn02]

Good shout Uladh but I would have John Mac in there for maybe McKenna. I would have McEvoy in for Hearty probably too.

Others in contention:
TK, PK, Eddie Martin, Stanfield, Benny McArdle, P Loughran, G Smith, G Mc Creesh, Mark Quinn

[corn02]

Dwyer McAlinden?

[IVEDECIDED]

The North Team:                   Wilson
               Moriarity             Donaghy           P.Nash
               A. McAlinden       DmcAlinden      Mc Donald
                 
                         Mc Grane        Lavery
             
             Mallon        Marsden          Mc Keever
             O'Hare       O'Hagan          M.Lavery

I struggled a bit as its trickier than you think, Folker could well play as could a fit Ronan Austin instead of Lavery. Mc Keever sometimes plays poor so how how about Ryan Henderson at wing half and also P. Nashes brother Cairan who plays for a different club could well play centre half. Sarsfields Richie Stevenson and young Mc Gaughey area also noticable absentees in the forward line.

I wouldnt have the four Kernans on it - you must be their cousin!! Surely Mickey Mac Namee and Johnny Murtagh have a bigger shout plus id play Mal Makin instead of O' Neill. Liam O' Hare is also a glaring ommission as is Gareth Smith and possibly Jerry Mc Creesh.

I think your right Ballyhagan are now a Mid team.

[Real1995]

to be honest with no disrespect you could probably pick two south armagh teams that would be stronger than a mid or a north armagh team....

[IVEDECIDED]

Talk a bit of sense son!! You Could pick 2 strong teams from all sections that would be similar to each other. You must think there is no weak players down south - I take it your a Mullaghbawn man from your username. If you are son there are plenty of weak players on your own club team. Would many of them get into a 30 man south Armagh panel?
