Armagh Club football & hurling

[brokencrossbar1]

It is silly really that a club can be so dominant that it has the league won before the middle of July and that is with half a team.  From what I can read of it too most of the games were won at a canter.  Can anyone tell me when was the last time, league or championship that a team in Armagh actually beat Cross?  Obviously they will not want to lose any games but with 5 left it is a great time for them to blend in more youngsters and give the Fra McNamee's as much game time as possible and keep the older legs fresher for the championship coming up.

Now with Armagh out when is the championship due to be started?  At least there wil be no issue of it running late like it has done in previous years.

Decent game against cross last night between what were two very depleted teams. dromintee don't normally compete that well when down in numbers so that was encouraging. i think cross were missing paul kernan, aaron kernan, steven kernan, john murtagh, paul mckeown, jamie clarke and david McKenna - the last three came on in the second half. dromintee were missing martin o'rourke, aidan o'rourke, shane o'neill, oliver gaughran, shane carroll, miceal o'rourke and gareth o'neill - the last two are gone to the states and i'm assuming won't be back.

Clann Eireann beat the 'bridge.  4or 5 points in it.

Killeavy 4-11 Clan na Gael 6-11 

Great match. Clans travelled down with only about 18/19 of a panel, which makes the victory all the more sweeter. Killeavy dominated early on and at one stage led by 7. Must have been great for the neutrals, 10 goal thriller, Clans opening the goalfest after about ten mins. Killeavy however went straight up and scored one of their own to open up the gulf to 7 between the teams. Clans fought back and pegged it back to 3 points going into the break.

Second half was more or less all Clans, although at the beginning the teams traded goals, it could have went either way. Clans showed great determination however and ran the Killeavy full back line ragged. Once Clans got the 5th goal Killeavy heads dropped, and the blues finished strongly to win by 6. Great team performance.

N.B. Stefan Campbell, still a minor lorded something like 3-04/3-05 of the Clans' total. Armagh minor management should be begging him to join.

fitzroyalty you must have been playing in the clans defence 

saw that lad a few times good player, but heard his attitude at minor trials left alot to be desired.  hear say obviously and should be taken with a pinch of salt, but though armagh minors have an abundance of talent def think there room for that ladon panel.

The country is littered with talented boys with poor attitudes, it's the attitude that makes the difference.

fair enough point, but from what i have saw of this lad and repoprts i have been hearing maybe he has a little bit more talent that most at his age.  3-4 or 3-5 in a division one game some scoring and think got 1-3 he cullaville the other week. 

though baker bradleys approach seems to be working for antrim and the armagh lads have done great so far so who am i to argue!

Au contraur, causing trouble at the other end 
I'll be first to admit his attitude in the past has been poor but as of late his form is too good to be ignored

Did that campbell lad play against dromintee last week?

They will be back when the season in the states is over which should be late August/early september.

[Aghdavoyle]

nope - new york championship doesn't finish til end of september

[slievegullion]

Well they only have 60 day transfers.

[Aghdavoyle]

That only specifies how long it is before they can play with their home club again. they can play way longer than 60 days in usa - as long as they like this season
