illdecide, was that game down in Lurgan?  That must have been strange having to play Cross at home   What sort of team had our boys out, was it close to full strength?

El Cuervo were you's at full strength yesterday, did JP feature?

BC in fairness both teams were far from their strongest i think both were down about 5-6 regulars each but an entertaining game nonetheless. Yes it was in Davitt Park which was very soft and just about playable...(Hearty and the 2 Kernans, Murtagh suspended and John Mac missing, there may well have been 1 or 2 more but that was the names i noticed missing)

IMO Bumpy was MOM.

[winsamsoon]

was at Davitt yes Broken, and the Cross were missing about 6 or 7 to be honest. Our lads were missing about 4 or 5 so there was a lot of young lads playing for both sides and it has to be said they all did pretty well.I t was a decent game for the start of the season and happy to inform there was no dirt in it whatsoever. Even Donaldson behaved himself

I was at the game in Lurgan yesterday as I always said I was going to go. I dont for one minute buy into the fact that Cross were understrength. For one thing the Cross men on this very site consistently boast about how many players they have on county u21 and minor squads and how many they should have on the county senior panel so therfore whatever 15 they play on a sunday cannot be siad to be 'weak' in any way. The 2 Kernans, mac Namee and Mutagh were noticable absentees - agreed, but Mc Conville, Bellew, bus face Donaldson, Tony Mac etc were there and played the whole game. I didnt notice too many significant players missing from the Clans team - maybe the players your referring to are merely squad members however I heard on the 'hill' that there were 2 weddings on Sat that involved around 12 of the Clans team which no doubt is not ideal preparation for a game on a Sunday. On the Whole I thought the Clans shaded it slightly but were hit by a sucker punch in injury time which Short took really well. A good game of football and hopefully a sign of things to come in the summer.

So the Cross team would not be stronger with those absentee's?

we had a few absent yday due to injuries, the likes of Andy, locky, toner etc.  JP is still with the physio at the county, should be making an appearance shortly.

Where will Toner play, FB???
Didnt know he was pushing for a place, he didnt play much last year did he....
Here what about the Ballycrummy 5 GFC, have they played this season yet??? 

[IVEDECIDED]

Listen goat - half those absentees are done, Tony Mac played yestersay and wouldnt have had the ball three times, so his bro aint far behind him. Bellew started the game and I honestly had to be told he played after the game, I actually argued with a guy that he wasnt playing, so forget about these big household 'names', the younger Cross players who played are the ones who are gonna be playing regularly before long and they are all involved in county teams so in my opinion they make cross a better team due to their youth and egerness. Im not for one minute naive enough to think those players would not make an impact but their day is almost over and the cross team that took the field yesterday was by no means 'weak' - thats my only point.

Toner only came back half way through the season last year after that spell in America.  He'll be pushing for a place surely when he gets back to full fitness, but he's been out injured for the past few months.

The founding member of the Ballycrummy 5 is now living in London, as is one of the committee.

[Candyman]

Aye i know he is.... rumour has it they make the jerseys a little bigger over there so he moved over to the big smoke to ply his trade where a GAA top didnt look like a bikini on him!!!
(only jokin bigson )

I see someone is keeping the BC 5's president upto date by text anyway...

[TG4]

will the crossmaglen game go ahead at the weekend or where will it be played? its very unlikely that the county board will allow a league game to be played in the main cross pitch on saturday evening considering the debacle against the dubs last week and with them due in town again on sunday they will not want to be sent home again without playing  any cross posters know what is going to happen in this regard?

[illdecide]

I see from the fixtures Clans have to play 2 games at the one time on sat night. Away to St Pats and away to Carrickcruppin. Thats not fair
