Armagh Club football & hurling

[fitzroyalty]

fitzroyalty you must have been playing in the clans defence 

saw that lad a few times good player, but heard his attitude at minor trials left alot to be desired.  hear say obviously and should be taken with a pinch of salt, but though armagh minors have an abundance of talent def think there room for that ladon panel. 

Au contraur, causing trouble at the other end 
I'll be first to admit his attitude in the past has been poor but as of late his form is too good to be ignored

Did that campbell lad play against dromintee last week?

[slievegullion]

Decent game against cross last night between what were two very depleted teams. dromintee don't normally compete that well when down in numbers so that was encouraging. i think cross were missing paul kernan, aaron kernan, steven kernan, john murtagh, paul mckeown, jamie clarke and david McKenna - the last three came on in the second half. dromintee were missing martin o'rourke, aidan o'rourke, shane o'neill, oliver gaughran, shane carroll, miceal o'rourke and gareth o'neill - the last two are gone to the states and i'm assuming won't be back.

They will be back when the season in the states is over which should be late August/early september.

[Aghdavoyle]

nope - new york championship doesn't finish til end of september

[slievegullion]

Well they only have 60 day transfers.

[Aghdavoyle]

That only specifies how long it is before they can play with their home club again. they can play way longer than 60 days in usa - as long as they like this season

Indeed, the 60-day rule prevents them transferring to another club, they don't have to renew it to saty on.

Let's hope for a few losses huh?

Can't  be arsed reading that Carbery, what's the issue anyway?

I doubt many clubs adhere to those guidelines anyway.

Pearse Ógs 2-12 St Pat's 1-11

Attractive enough match. Thought we did very well in the first half against a very strong Ógs side. Mal Mackin opened the scoring with a goal when the goalkeeper (was that Ciaran McKinney?) badly misjudged the flight of an attempted point. We played some nice stuff int he first half and were worth our 2 point lead at half time which could have been more had Ciaran McKeever converted a penalty when the goalkeeper dragged down our forward as he was about to score a goal. Ógs were dangerous as well with their number 15 (conor clarke or was he 13?) getting a Pearse Ógs goal.

Ronan Clarke switched to full forward at half time and Ógs started to do us a lot of damage. A goal from their number 15 after some slack defending was the crucial score of the match. Ógs were certainly the better side in the second half but I thought we were very unfortunate to have a goal disallowed with about 10 minutes left. There were 4 points in it at that stage and I felt it was a very soft free out to Ógs. Wasn't too bad a performance from Cullyhanna - that's a very good Pearse Ógs side who I'd expect to make another good run in the championship.


By my reckoning we have 5 matches left - Cross, Sarsfields, Killeavy and Cruppen at home and Clans away. Hopefully the decent number of home matches left will help us towards safety, crucial games against Sarsfields, Killeavy and Cruppen to avoid the drop. Win thsoe 3 and we'll be safe.

Cruppen beat Mullaghbawn by 4 points, big game now for us on fri night against Clans, 4 pointer!

Pearse Ogs 2-12 St Pats 1-11

An entertaining game of football today.  Half time score was Ogs 1-06 St Pats 1-08

St Pat's dominated the first half and the ogs were lucky to go in just 2 points down.

The roles were reversed in the second half with the Ogs opening with 1-02 to no score in the first 10 mins.  It was a free flowing game and a good win for the Ogs.

Yes it was Ciaran McKinney with an uncharacteristic error to let the first goal in.  He did well though to pick himself up for the penatly save.

The disallowed goal in the last ten was given after one of your forwards hauled Paul Duffy by the neck resulting in St Pats getting the ball.  The ref had blown the whistle just before the shot on goal.  If he hadn't blown for the free it would has made it a very nervous last few minutes.

Who was the no. 14 for St Pats today?  he seemed to be very sharp

Fair enough, I thought it was given for a push as Paudie broke the ball down. Forget what happened before the ball came in.

Gary McCooey was number 14 - had an excellent game though was fighting a bit of a lone battle in the full forward line at time - only 19 or so, one of our better prospects.

Cruppen beat Mullaghbawn by 4 points, big game now for us on fri night against Clans, 4 pointer!

brutal match, half time was 1 -1 to 4 points. final score 10 points to 1-3. mullaghban had 12 or 13 men behind the ball. they are very difficult to play against and even worse to watch.
