Armagh IFC semi-finals

Pearse Óg v Cullyhanna
Keady v St Paul's

[clarshack]

See Lisnaskea are in Fermanagh Junior Final. They'd be decent if they make it into Ulster?

Ardglass v Drumaness in jfc final.

Not the team they were back in the day, a lot of young players in the team and haven't had a great league. Be between Derry/Tyrone for Ulster in Junior level

Armagh JFC final
Ballyhegan v Clann Éireann II

[mrdeeds]

Arva versus Knockbride in Cavan junior final. Whoever wins should be a strong contender in Ulster but presume Arva will win as stayed up in division 1 and have three Cavan Seniors.

Intermediate Ballyhaise versus Denn. Ballyhaise be favourites as they've been in quite a few recent finals.

[Armagh18]

Armagh JFC final
Ballyhegan v Clann Éireann II

Ballyhegan to represent Armagh in Ulster then. Some going by CE seconds to make a final in their first year.

[DownFanatic]

Ardglass v Drumaness in the Down JFC final. Drumaness would have been pre-competition favourites as they played their league football in Division 3 this year, albeit they got relegated. Ardglass have done extremely well to get to the final and will surely give it their all.

Liatroim and Rostrevor are into the Down IFC final. Rostrevor lost to Saval in the final last year so they will be looking to go one better this year. Liatroim have a serious amount of talent and a close final is in prospect.

Down's JFC reps for Ulster won't be anywhere near the same level as the usual suspects, Cavan, Monaghan and Tyrone. Our IFC reps should be competitive.

Intermediate Ballyhaise versus Denn. Ballyhaise be favourites as they've been in quite a few recent finals.

You'd like to think a Division 1 club would be strong contenders for an Ulster Junior. Jesus Christ have yous no shame, as bad as them Kerry ones.

They were bet in junior final last year so what can you do? League and championship seperate in Cavan. Knockbride actually will be a division 1 team next year too. Denn in intermediate final were division 3 and Ballyhaise are division 1.

Armagh JFC final
Ballyhegan v Clann Éireann II

Ballyhegan to represent Armagh in Ulster then. Some going by CE seconds to make a final in their first year.

Not their first year. They fielded a IIs team about 8 years ago but only lasted a season or two. This year they've a few senior championship medalists in their ranks and got promotion from 3B so they've had a good return to Junior football. With the numbers they have they should really push on at this level.

Oh I understand, used to be the same in Armagh. Does it not seem a bit ridiculous though, Division 1 clubs competing in 2nd and 3rd tier championships?

The way some counties run their league and championships is plain weird.

[clarshack]

Arva were only beaten by a point by Drumlane in last year's Cavan Junior Final and Drumlane were a damn good side in Ulster only losing the Final on pens. I don't think this season's Tyrone Junior champions would just be at that level yet but I don't think they would meet until the final anyway. Drumragh or Fintona should beat the Armagh and Down champions handy enough first but then it will get much tougher with the Monaghan champions likely in the semi-final.
