Armagh Club football & hurling

[DuffleKing]

attended the down championship yesterday was very impressed.  £8 in for an intermediate semi and senior semi.  I paid the same into watch 1 game in cross other week for granemore dromintee game.  also a point on their match programme.  was excellent £2, in colour great detail on clubs last meetings, how they got to this stage etc.  far superior to the flimsy a4 page i have received at armagh club championship games this year.

Not even a team list for the cross / cullyhanna replay

There'll be a more even spread of teams from around the county in Division 1 next year - 3 from the north, 3 from mid-Armagh and 6 from South Armagh.

After reading all the complaining from some Clanns men about Maghery not fielding in a game, and the claims about it, which by the way are way off mark, I have to remind the Clanns men about something. A few years ago Clanns could not field against Maghery for some reason which escapes me now (memory poor). When told at a Co.Board meeting we could claim the points. We said no we would settle for a refix. The Clanns were in need of points that year as well.If you want verification ask your current Sec. I was glad to see Clanns staying up as Davitt park is nearer than Mullaghabawn.The Clanns for some reason think everybody are out to get them. Not so in my opinion.

Junior Final. Is it true that Peter Rafferty is manager of Tullysarron and he has 2 sons playing for Grange.

Aye hes been managing them for past 2 years. Gonna be strange for a genuine Grange man through and through, although his influence tomorrow could be minmial as tullysarran will hammer them off the pitch! Been talking to few boys who know Junior football and say it could be embarrassing

Tullysarran boys must have been reading this,

Grange beat them by 4 points today in the junior final,

Some win for them boys

and here in lies the issues with championship football in Armagh - Tullysaran will be playing 2nd division football next year and still in the Junior - Grange may not get promoted (looks like they will though) and could be playing intermediate championship from the 4th

Very good final today I thought with the grange utterly dominant until the last ten minutes when they ran out of steam. Tullysaran scored the last 6 points I believe to make the game look closer than it was.

Grange dominated midfield and were able to break from there at will. Despite this Tullysaran made no changes in this area and continued to kick every goal kick straight to the area. It really allowed the Grange to get on top

Went to Junior final today expecting to witness history with Tullysarran being the last team to win a championship. Going by todays fare they are a long way away from winning anything. Theyre just too small and the Grange played through them, severe wake up call for going into Div2 next year, where they will meet bigger teams and more physical teams. Anyway going by the few boys ive been chatting to over past few weeks its a good thing they got beat, as they were apparently just going up to win and head home, and only worried about how much they could beat the Grange by. Well the Grange put that straight in the 1st 5 mins! Tullysarran should learn to do their talking on the field and only be arrogant when theyve won something.

Congrats to the Grange. Wonder how Peter Rafferty feels tonight, well i suppose it cant be too bad at least his own club and his son won!

If it isn't bad enough Mullabawn men saying it, a MAGHERY MAN told me over a week in advance of the fixture! I don't think too many at Clan na Gael thinks there is a conspiracy (tbh we shouldn't be finding ourselves in these positions anyway) but when Cruppen gave points to Sarsfields, Maghery done likewise with M'bawn and Dromintee fielded a zuke team today against M'bawn you sometimes wonder.

wonder what you like....we fielded a team that was capable of beating m/bawn today and anyone that was at the match cant tell you any different...lost by 3 points and only for two fortunate m/bawn goals things would have been alot different!! after all this talk about poor quality of teams being fielded il be fully expecting the clans championship 15 togging out in dromintee in afew weeks time....

Just retired you site some incident when the clans haven't turned up but did it directly add to your relegation woes or ensure the safety of other teams? I don't recall the incident you are talking about . You also say that the allegations are way off the mark, in what way are they? Are the mullaghbawn lads liars?
