Down v Armagh. June 4th

[OgraAnDun]

The problem Armagh will have will be securing primary possession round the middle of the field. There is no point having an array of forward without the ball. The team that can convert middle third possession to good ball into the forward lines will win. That may seem pretty obvious but that's the fulcrum of any game and that is where I think Armagh may struggle

You're lucky that it wouldn't be Down's biggest strength then.

I agree BCB1 and i think down's midfield is as poor as ours TBH so heads or tails

[BennyCake]

Maybe we should create a trophy for this one. Like the Calcutta cup in rugby. Both teams are equally shite and won't progress far in the c'ship.

Are there any stand tickets available for this game. I want to bring my 6 yr old but he won't stand for the whole of minor and senior games. Unfortunately I'm not a club member anymore as I'm living in the south. Anyone know if supervalue  still sell these tickets?

Unless it's a wet day there'll be no problem sitting down in the terrace for the minor game.

We all used to do it that way!

1 more question on  tickets. Do supervalue still sell them.

yeah supervalu still do tickets, just terrace tickets for this game afaik. clubs only got a handful of stand tickets each, rest went to season ticket holders, players families, officials, sponsors etc etc.

Lads I think some are being a little disrespectful to players here. Midfield, as the current game stands, is not the area it once was i.e. four 6' 2" guys competing for long kick outs. It's more about energy, positional sense and passing ability. Don't know about Down but Armagh whether it be Sheridan O'Neill or Ethan have the required tools for that job. So midfield doesn't worry me.

Midfield worries me. A lot

Armagh and Down have been fighting longer than the Calcutta Cup. It all started with O'Hanlons v Maginness's in 14-15 century. And then O'Neill and O'Hanlon had a go at Bagnal. Actually I'm a bit miffed that there is an O'Hanlon playing for Down.

And I hope he has the last laugh on Sunday!!

Any teamnews coming out of either camp?
By the sound of things both team will have full squads to choose from with the exception of mcardle and mcaleenan who have been out this month

The latest forecast is for scattered and occasionally heavy showers on Sunday. Should we bother turning up at all ?

No doubt you'll be giving them to children in your club as you couldn't care less yourself.
