This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Bramley Apple (grown of course in Armagh) and to commemorate this momentous event RTE 1's Nationwide programme tonight will feature the Orchard County.

On top of all the rivetting info about apples there is an added bonus I do believe in the form of an interview with the new Galway football manager ;D

Do not miss it!!!

Aah,

The brambley apple, was there ever a more fitting fruit for a county's inhabitants/footballers.

1)Bitter
2)Ugly
3)Once popular, years ago
4)Nobody, not even their own kind want anything to do with them
5)Distorted

And as a trade off to "taking the soup" the native gaels instead agreed to wear the colours of the Orange Order when playing sport.

Seen that show alright, Big Joe and all the Armagh players climbing up to the top of a mountain in Monaghan (Mullyash) to view all the counties of Ulster they had conquered !
They never managed the McGillicuddy Reeks ! ;)

Joe went very OTT on the gimicks... In 2003 final the players did about three huddles before the game and then stood facing the subs for the anthem and the insignia thing on the shirt...God knows wat else he used that wasn't seen by the public.
