Armagh Club football & hurling

[mountainboii]

  I love this time of year, when we can get back to talking purely about football. I wouldn't mind a team a bit like this:

         Rodgers / McEvoy

Moriarty      K Toner      Rafferty

Donaghy     McKeever     McClelland

          Mackin       Lavery

McDonnell      Mallon        C Clarke

Henderson     R Clarke     M O'Rourke Jr

Like the idea of Toner as the new long term FB. Donaghy's long term future is definitely in the half back line. Mackin deserves another go and Lavery should be given a rake of games to establish himself. Was extremely impressed with that guy McDonnell against Ulster a couple of months ago, he's a big lad too so he can help out around the middle. C Clarke and Micheal O'Rourke have been around the panel for a couple of years now and should be given at least a half dozen games between the McKenna cup and League to show if they're up to it. R Henderson and Tony McClelland are worth a look. Tried to keep at least one established head in each of the lines, and stuck with Clarkie at FF because, realistically, he's gonna be there for the next 4 or 5 years anyway so its best to see how the new CF options work out alongside him.

Happy Christmas to you all....

TAC. Drove past Athletic Grounds at about half one police were everywhere. On a more positive note I like a few options you have in defence. With Lavery back we have better options in midfield and I think in the long term Toner could prove to be our best full back - although we may need him elsewhere! Have always said that I think Donaghy is a natural half back and only does a good job at full back as he is a good footballer.

Have thought Toner was a very good full back since the 2007 u21 campaign when he played very well there.

A thought just struck me - where is Padraig Duffy of Pearse Ógs? Is he injured?  Be nice to see him back challenging for a spot in the half back line.

Pauraig lives in london now.  He plays for neasden Gaels and was playing centre half forward for London this year

As expected, the Armagh yearbook found its way to the house at Christmas there. Its a pretty decent effort but does anyone know why Silverbridge didn't have a section in it? Was a bit unusual, maybe there were other clubs missing but they were the only ones that I noticed. Even Phelim Bradys managed to put together a couple of pages.

Spoke to some of the Bridge lads last night , apparently their sec is a very busy guy. But they are tops at irish dancing so they are happy enough.

By the way they tell me that Mona Ruddy is their new senior manager after John Rafferty pulled out.

John Rafferty is taking over at his home club O'Hanlons I hear.

Arse, I was at the county board meeting where it was first mentioned - think it was July.  Surely there was a 'Bridge rep there or even there for the next one to read the minutes?

Sorry I actually meant Paul Duffy? I read on orchardcounty that he was injured. Anybody got any ideas on when he's likely to be back?
