Don't think the winners of Armagh/Dungannon will lose any sleep over facing the Abbey based on last nights performance.

I'm sure St.Pauls missed scores they should have taken also. It was not an impressive performance and if they play like that against better opposition and there are better teams than St. Pauls in the competition, they will get beat!

After all the slabbering from some posters about how the Mc Kenna cup game would not have been called off if it had of been played in Armagh because "it's the best surface in Ulster" crap, the Mac Rory game in it for this evening was called off because the "best surface in Ulster" was water logged you couldn't make it up lol

The best surface in the world can still be waterlogged you numpty, it has rained solid for days in Armagh, and now its snowing.

Could you train on it today ?

Celtic Park is taking the game tonight, perhaps it's should have the title of best pitch in Ulster. I know of a number of pitches locally that would be playable, ie castledawson, magherafelt, bellaghy, never mind the two county grounds of Owenbeg and Celtic park.

The Colleges games are now being played on a Wednesday night, a Friday night, a Saturday afternoon, a Sunday afternoon etc, what has happened to the traditional Saturday morning slot when games have been played for a lifetime?  Its all about big gates, making money for the GAA, PR for the sponsors, rather than thinking about those who mean most, the players.  For mid week games, like County players, these lads are at their work (school) all day and are expected to then prepare for a game that evening, getting home and having something to eat and then off to the game.  The county players are dead set against this but these young lads are expected to continue on regardless.  It seems to be getting worse over the last few years with games under lights being very common.

Does anyone know if the schools get any money out of the gates the way counties do because if they did maybe they are happy to play games at night?  Participating counties in a championship match get a cut of the gates (10% ?) so maybe schools are the same.
