Armagh Club football & hurling

Donal Murtagh's take on it. Sounds like McGurn might be drawing up a few training programmes and the likes for the Clare boys. Nothing that should affect his work in Armagh too much.

Murtagh adamant McGurn will stay

Thursday September 30 2010

ARMAGH selector Donal Murtagh is confident that renowned fitness trainer Mike McGurn will remain with the Orchard County in 2011, despite reports linking him with Clare.

Former Ireland rugby team trainer McGurn served in an advisory capacity to Clare and Kilmurry-Ibrickane manager Micheal McDermott during the Banner County outfit's run to this year's All-Ireland Club final defeat against Antrim's St Gall's.

But the Crossmaglen Rangers man is mystified by the reports stating that McGurn, who will also train Anthony Tohill's International Rules team, is going to be part of Clare's set-up for next season.

"I was talking to (Armagh manager) Paddy O'Rourke at the weekend and he never mentioned a thing about Mike going to Clare. If that was the case, I'm sure that Paddy would have said something about it," Murtagh said.

"Mike lives in Belfast and with the distance involved in travelling, I'd say that working with Clare would be a non-runner for him. As far as I was aware, Mike was going to be with Armagh for a few years, and the only way I could see him being involved with Clare would be merely on an advisory basis."

When I saw this first I thought he had gone to Clare after the fall out from the Dublin game where Dublin just blew Armagh away physically.

It must be just a nixer or something like that.

I would say he is trying to maximise income during the close season because he may be out of a job come next summer if the team doesnt shape up, i personally felt we weren`t in as good as shape as when mc closkey was about 
any news on the rumour hughie is pulling the plug on sponsoring the county and have we lined up anyone to replace justy mc nulty

I'd agree with the view that Armagh haven't been in as good a shape overall since McCluskeys time and yes, he possibly is trying to maximise income.
I'd heard this was to be HPM's last year any way
And no, no one lined up to replace Justy
And no, there is no intention to replace him either.

Pity the Cork isn't at home instead of Monaghan or Dublin, but not a bad list. Fixtures seem a bit better spaced out this year. No run of 3 or 4 games on consecutive weekends.

Glad Tasker got off. Should make for a fairly even contest now.
