Armagh Club football & hurling

Is it going to be Ballymacnabs year?

I predict the cup will be in Ballymacnab, about 10 minutes before it arrives in Newtown.

And then another 8 minutes to Cullyhanna....

You are going in the right direction. What's next, 7 mins to a giant beacon on Carron Hill?

Ye never know it might only get as far as Fords Cross!!!!

Cross v Cullyhanna
Maghery v Ballymacnab

[Ethan Tremblay]

The best 4 teams left in the championship and genuinely think any 4 of them can take it.  Its good to see the Armagh championship so healthy at last. 

Ballymacnab have been outstanding this year and Cullyhanna have been nothing short of great too.  Cross and Maghery are finally gaining steam at the right time also so 2 great semi finals coming up. 

[brokencrossbar1]

Genuinely think both games will be very tight. Cullyhanna and Maghery slight favourites but we could cause an upset and the Nab are the form team. Wouldn't rule any result out.

 Hope to at least make the cross v cullyhanna game. Has the potential to be a cracker with a bit of needle 

[yellowcard]

Maghery should dispose of the Nab, they are a bit more streetwise and the Nab have a weakness in defence.

Cross v Cullyhanna will be interesting and this could easily be the final I feel. Cullyhanna ambushed Cross 2 years ago in a game in which they were clearly second best. However the gap has narrowed since then as Cross have slipped back and Cullyhanna have improved sightly. Cross are 1/3 favourites with the bookies but it can only be based on past reputation and not current form. Up until last week I would have favoured Cullyhanna but Cross have got a few key players back and were seriously impressive against Harps last week so I believe that they will just about edge it.

Can't wait to see this match myself. Rangers were very impressive against us, but I feel looking back on it that a lot of that owed as much to our inadequacies on the night as it did to Rangers' excellence. That's why I am so looking forward to this match. My sense will be that St Pats will put a greater onus on keeping their defence much tighter than we did, which should leave it a close game.

The Nab have been very impressive this year, albeit in the league. They have had not had top play any of the main Championship challengers yet in the Championship, so this will represent a step up in class for them. James Lavery looked to have major fitness concerns against Madden, and his presence / absence could be crucial.

If I was pushed to give an opinion, I would tentatively go for a Rangers v Maghery final.

[brokencrossbar1]

So with our injuries and St Pats run of form they will probably beat us with 3-4 spare. If Lavery is out then that's a huge blow for the lough shores men. The second semi will be a tight affair with Maghery  nicking it by a point I reckon as experience will tell

Just reading the IN on line, quote ''If Crossmaglen's not there (referring to county final), it's not a county final" Kieran Donnelly, assistant manager from Crossmaglen. What a complete arrogant BS, not an ounce of humility.

I remember us getting beat by Cross in the County final and Donal Murtagh came into our changing rooms after the game to commiserate with us but told us not to be too down as we got beat by a better Cross team and there was no shame in losing to Cross, keep the heads up and try and come back again...Holy sweet f**k, instead of saying unlucky lads, thanks for the good hard game he comes in to our changing rooms after losing a County final to tell us how good Cross are

What competition is this?

[Insane Bolt]

Think most neutrals would love to see the Nab win, but Cross don't lose many finals.
