Armagh Club football & hurling

[pintsofguinness]

cross have played lot of championship in the bridge over the past few years and never once complained . Just goes to show the difference in class between them and their upcoming opponents

It's nice to know that we will have at least one Bridge man supporting us on sunday. 

If Pints was at home we most certainly would have two.

True, I hope yous kick the f**k out of them.....

From what I'm hearing yous can't wait to have a go at them either....

Thus speaks the poster so appalled over the years by perceived tendancies to violence. 

I didn't mean literally but I wouldn't worry, if there's violence I'm sure you won't see it....

I see today's Irish News suggests the St Pat's v Crossmaglen match is not taking place this weekend. I'd heard nothing about a postponement myself.

Don't know what the Irish News were on about then. They had ana rticle in which the St Pat's Cross match was described as TBC but was scheduled for next weekend.

I suppose they just assumed that we wouldn't be playing two championship matches one weekend after the other.

Any big predictions for the weekend?

I'd say Cross will win by 3/4 pts in a feisty affair. Much will depend on how the Cullyhanna forwards play on the day, if they click, a shock may be on the cards.
Think Granemore will pip Dromintee. Toner won't be able to dominate the midfield area the way he did against the Ogs with Dromintee having plenty of height in that sector also, will Dyas be lining out for Dromintee? Granemore have a nippy forward line though, which going by Dromintee's QF will create problems for them.

i tink granemore are a great bet at 11/10, 

[overthehill]

To beat the Rangers in Ibrox...........it feels as if its nearly too much to ask!!

Anyway good luck boys know yez will do the jersey proud no matter what!!

Think Dromintee will come out on top in the other semi in a very tight one.  Dromintee must be delighted how they have slipped quietly under the radar thus far...think their name could be on it this year!!

can anyone tell me is the pearse og game on this weekend???

no its off

[wats that 4 ref]

i think granemore might just beat d`tee if there forward line clicks,d`tee depend 2 much on m o`rourke to get scores if he is snuffed out they half way there.
in the other game its hard to see past cross. if st pats start the way they did against maghery they might be in with a shout but only if they can maintain that 1st 10 min pace for the most of the game.

would love 2 see a g`more v st pats final then it would give armagh football a great lift as all teams will be thinking they can win the c`ship next year and the county would be better off for it

dromintee bt granemore by 4 .

[fitzroyalty]

Dromintee worthy winners. Physically superior and well disciplined in the tackle against a disappointing G'more forward line - epected much moreform them. D'tee played well despite being down to 14 for most of the game. Felt ref favoured Granemore slightly, Dyas  (i think) hauled down in front of posts in second half, had he scored would have put 4 in it but instead G'more went up and scored to narrow it to two. One or two other similar incidents. Not a great game of football, loads of stoppages but I'm sure Dromintee care loads.

[bennydorano]

Thought Dromintee's experience was the critical difference in this game, they just exuded calm and purpose in the 2nd half were as Granemore looked panicky.  Abbey park suited Granemore down to the ground v the Ogs, but the big open spaces of Cross seemed to detract from their effectiveness today.  The Dromintee fella sent off seemed to take a swipe at the linesman (not sure if he connected), dont know what his problem was either, he looked to me to have hit out twice for his red card - deserved it.  Dromintee had the 2 most effective players in  Dyas & Micael OR and plenty of other good performers

Granemore's day is coming thou, a good young side, they could do with a bit more physical presence somewhere in the FF line.
