Armagh Club football & hurling

[charlie stubbs]

cHAMPIONSHIP DRAWS this wednesday at county board meeting. Heard club chairmen met with the new county chair on saturday and where shown the plans for the final development at the athletic grounds and i have been told they look class. Contract awarded and work to start next week. Still think that the league and championship needs urgent review so that clubs can only compete in championship depending on divisional standing like they have inTyrone. Possiblly this could be looked at for 2011 where div1 plus 4 2nd div play in senior and so on in intermediate and junior leaving 16 in each championship. By winning junior or intermediate you could get divisional promotion think thats the way it works in tyrone and some other counties. this would stop silly things like newtown in the senior but playing in div3 and annaghmore in intermediate and playing div4.

cant wait. the county chairman did indeed meet chairmen.  spoke to all the other officers also and spoke very well

And lets be honest they get involved in a lot of the off the ball stuff and at the end of the game the other teams has a laugh and two points in the bag. Really a stupid approach to games when you train hard all year.

So we lose every game? Wonder how we're heading into a 3rd season in Division 1 then. Not sure how we could have stayed up with 0 points.

Perhaps here lies the seeds to your clubs indiscipline. Ignoring the real matters at hand whilst at the same time trying to get one over on someone and play the hard done by case.

Draw Predictions

Senior   Harps v Ogs, Cross v Dromintee, Granemore v Nab, St Pats v Clans, Killeavey v Mbawn, Clan eireann v Whitecross
           St Michaels v Carrickcruppin, Tir na og v Maghery ( wouldnt those draws get big gates). Lets wait and see.

I heard that the work on the new seated and covered stand is due to start this week or next, does anyone know how long roughly it will take to complete? Also it would be good if the county board released these plans on their website or to the press so the grassroots can get a look at them.

The contract is for 40 weeks i am reliable informed from someone who was at saturdays meeting. Plans will be officially displayed at the meeting on wednesday night and probably on line after that im sure.

Alternatively here lies the evidence that you are, as usual, talking nonsense.

Fitz i,m always in for a bit of devilment. Hope i,m not correct for two reasons 1) dont really want to be lambasted again 2) i should have placed a bet and then i could retire Bainsteior made the call to one who knows,approx 5,600 covered seats in the new 2 tier stand, press box, 2 new changing rooms, first aid room and safety control room. sounds exciting ps with all seats being covered down to pitch level.

Will the Athletic Grounds be out of use during the redevelopment?

For example where will the Armagh league games be held?

two teirs you say.. That's impressive!! So it nots goin to be simlilar to say Healy Park? It does sound exciting indeed.. About time we had the county facilities to be proud off!! Very encouraged with Stevie Macs interview today in the Irish news, sounds like he has got his hunger back and also any interviews with players since POR was appointed have been all very positive about his backroom team and the attitude they are taking!!

He would be unlikely to be too critical of the backroom team considering the supposed effort he went to in order to get some of them in place.
