Yes still it was 23 points, the record is now 25 points - crazy - doesn't really say much for Armagh football, or maybe it just confirms the dominance of Cross!

Couldn't fault the nab defence though...

Surprised they didn't throw in the towel at halftime. Cross should hammer us now after that result.

Favourites for the game and played like favourites should, Could be a Halloween Nightmare again for us against cross

As an historical aside, I'm not sure we can compare with Blackwatertown's horror show with today's result given that back then a goal outweighed any number of points I think. A goal wasn't worth a set value of points.

Sounds good, the nab could have been doing with 10 extra players today!

What a disappointing result. I can sympathise with the Nab because they did to us in the QF what Cross did to them today today - simply froze on the occasion and didn't play to their potential.

The Nab were never in it. In the first half they'd about a handful of scoring chances and took only one. Cross with a strong enough breeze had plenty and took nearly all of them, showed no mercy. The second half was more of the same. Left early.

On an aside that puke making constant announcements over the tannoy gave me a right headache listening to him read every word out from the programme

I can remember a couple of years ago they kept making announcements while the ball was in play or when players were taking free kicks... very irritating!!

Congrats to Harps Minors, 5th Minor title in 9/10 years, that's good going, especially pleasing in that 3 of those teams won little or nothing at various underage levels before winning the minor title.

Thought today's final scoreline of 3.11 to 12 was very flattering to us tbh, we played pretty poorly overall.  I suppose it's the sign of decent side that we can win while playing poorly.  I've often thought the Ogs raise their game at the sight of us and we tend to be very wary when we play them even when we have a superior team.  Some great performances from young Rory McGrath, Shea Grimley and Conor White, but overall very disjointed, plenty to work on and a lot more required if we are to make any impact in the Ulster minor.

There were questions about the Cross midfield, McKenna got MOM. With the ball not passing midfield 'Nab couldn't use their forwards. I'd have given the 'Nab goalie MOM!
As for records, goals aside no team managed more than 16 points in an Armagh final before today.

Why all the concern over nabs defence....cross defence arent great and are quite sluggish, i think they will really struggle to keep up with the nabs pacy forwards resulting in pulling and dragging from them and frees being awarded which should be easily converted by mccone, grugan and mcparland!!

I think that is the last we hear from Russell Grant and his prediction!!
