if im not mistaken armagh took the eventual all ireland champions to a replay in 1993, ulster as whole was very strong in the early 90s, and there was no back door system as there is now

If you were standing in the Athletic Grounds Armagh v Down in 1992 first round, "strong" is not a word i would use to describe Armagh that day. And in 1993 we took the defending champions to a replay was it not?

do u not see how these poorer standard players benefit from training with better players increasing the overal standard, training with poorer players isnt going to lessan your own ability, but give u confidence, so where as you started with 18/20 good players you now have 26/27, and your overal panel has improved.

In my experience, you weaken your overall quality with this. the lesser players do marginally improve over the course of a season of training at a higher standard but when the basic skills quality falls down at various points of training sessions, it is difficult to regain. that is when standards slip and bad habits eek their way into players' games. this doesn't apply to young players coming through from minor grade... they will obviously improve rapidly training with the best players. at smaller clubs in particular, you find there'll be 16/18 players well fit for the standard you're playing at plus another 10 who are well off that standard. teams like the harps or cross may have potentially 24/26 ofa similar standard?

Heard tonight this w/ends games are now to be played on Sunday @ 7:30 and not Friday night.  Anyone know if this is true?

[winsamsoon]

Louis the red i hope that rumour is true because it would suit me into the ground and allow me to ge to our game. Was that a realiable source?

[Louis the Red]

Well I know the Ogs game has been changed for deffo.  Heard they all had been changed

[diesel-smuggler]

yeah the games have been changed back til sunday evening! they had been put on friday night to accommodate anyone wanting to go to the ulster ladies final in clones but for some reason they are back on sunday evening at 7 or 7:30.

[pintsofguinness]

Wouldn't Friday evening be a better time? 
Not that either suits me.   

[diesel-smuggler]

we have re-fixture against st. peters on friday night!

got st. pat's sunday evening pints! it will be a tough one for us!

[illdecide]

The Clans have asked Harps for a Sunday match as well, haven't heard the outcome yet.

Def would prefer a Sunday game than Friday night. It means i get away from going to the dreaded outlaws for the Sunday dinner (o sorry i mean't inlaws)

excellent news lads to say i was happy would be an understatement. Are those definite High Catch?

[High Catch]

They are taken from the Orchard County website and this site is usually accurate with the fixtures, results and tables.

I see there are no fixtures down for Friday night, maybe this will be used for re-fixtures and therefore would not be on the above fixtures.

[diesel-smuggler]

jaysus st. peters must be some team as they are able to play cruppen and killeavey at the same time!

we are to play st. pats on sunday night!

[pintsofguinness]
