Armagh Club football & hurling

[pintsofguinness]

Tough start for the Bridge with Newtown and Cruppen in the first and third games.

[IVEDECIDED]

Great match to start the league in Lurgan -  Clans against Cross. Ill def make my way over for that one!

[winsamsoon]

You never know i may be at that one myself.

Whatever avbout the other Kernans, Paul has a fair way to go before he's inter county standard. He took an awful roasting in Navan Sunday week ago and got the runaround against Cork last year in the u21 semi.

true but he'd be a better option than enda..

no drink for you lads at the old wedding then. good luck in the first game though. should be a good one!

League Fixtures are up...

Harps first 3 games are:

Home to Cullyhanna
Away to Killeavy
Home to XMG....

could have been a whole lot worse. I would like to think Harps will defeat Cullyhanna on their own patch, Killeavey will be tough and well, against Cross. 4points from the first 3 games would be a great start.

Lads where is the Roscommon game played?

I heard a month or 2 ago that it may be Davitt Park but not sure. Has it been announced yet??

Armagh v Rosscommon will take place at Oliver Plunkett Park, Crossmaglen, on Sunday 16th March at 2.30pm.

I realise most teams will fancy themselves at home to St Pat's but I think we might survive one or 2 people this year although a lot will depend on how often we have our county men available to us. Fairly hopefuly we'll at least stay anyway. Its only 6 years since we won the League ya know!

whats everyones predictions on who will go up and down in each of the 4 divisions

[corn02]

Dromintee will find it hard this year, big chunk of the team missing from a small panel. Hopefully do just enough.

[qub la la la]

think culloville will struggle this year and i think cullyhanna have the stuff to get results, esp at home to keep them up, as do killeavy possibly, so its a tough call. the bridge and cruppen i would think will be top two in division 2 with port mor, sarsfields, wolfe tones in a relegation battle. dont really know a whole lot about the other 2 divisions to be honest but i suppose you'd be expectin annaghmore and the peters possibly to be seriously challenging to get back up. shane o neills should win division 4 but you never know.

anyway, just my opinion for all its worth. was anyone up at forkhill today to see south armagh select v down u21s?

Corn, why is there a big chunk of the Dromintee lads missing??

No. but i hear the Select Team were beat by a couple of points

Difficult to say at this stage - I would expect Division 1 to be tight, I do think Cullaville will struggle, I was surprised they stayed up last year.  If any of the other clubs think they'll get easy games in Cullyhanna or Killeavy they'll be in for a shock, I expect both to stay up.
Division 2 will be close at the top - I'd say promotion will be between Cruppen, ourselves, Whitecross and Newtown. Tones would need a massive improvement or they'll stuggle again.  I think Sarsfields will be ok but An Port Mor may struggle.  It'll be interesting to see what Tir Na Og do.
I don't know too much on the rest of the divisions but I'd expect Annaghmore to be favourites to be promoted again, they were very unlucky last year and really shouldn't have went down.

[illdecide]

I believe the 2 promoted clubs to the 1st Div will stay up and i think the relegation battle will be as close as the last few years (a few play off's to decide it) Culloville will go down and take your pick with the rest. the 2nd division also looks tasty as there are about 6 clubs with genuine chances of promotion as for relegation "sorry don't get involved that far down as i don't know to much about them" whoever gets the good start to the season and gets the momentum usually wins the leagues.
