The above quote was taken from the Official Armagh County Website so it must be true.
I am delighted that the Athletic Grounds will be open for this opening NFL game.

Thats article is excellent and a credit to the man. I didn't realise he was as quiet as that but i was aware he didn't like to be in the Lime Light.

It didn't mention about another accident in his family 5-6 years ago (hopefully someone else can clear this up) i think it was another car accident involving his brother and Mother????not to sure what happened but another unfortunate accident for the family to deal with.

It's a pity a few more of the inter county lads could be like Andy McCann. They wouldn't be running round looking to strike!!

It may have been James McCann, I played minor with him and he also kept a low profile - quite lad but skill to burn.

Too many of the Og's could/should have went on to make the grade at senior but didn't.

Good to see a decent call up for the U21's.

Great Article about Andy McCann

Pints is that only half of the players for trials as i notice a number of clubs missing from that list

The Cross players would be missing for obvious reasons. But I do notice that no Dromintee players are included in this trial list? Is there a second trial of some sort?

[illdecide]

I would say so as there a right few clubs missing from that list

[High Catch]

What other clubs are missing?

[T Fearon]

Harold, saw that article in the paper last Sunday myself.

Sticky is a twat! (Don't tell him I said that!)

Surely Fr Bertie Watson from our club was a County regular in the 50s and as far as I remember he featured in Jerome's top 100 Ulster Championship scorers?

Also the great Jack Brattan and Des Harney, two County stalwarts, ended their club careers with Tir Na Nog, although admittedly they were  more famous as Harps men and hailed from Armagh city. Still technically they were Tir Na Nog players and they played for Armagh in the Championship.

Also I bet Conor S is pleased that Sticky omitted him from those on the fringes of the Armagh panel in the 70s and 80s, being the publicity shy individual that he is! Conor asked, not too long ago, my sister in law about the internet and how he could prove to doubters that he did actually play for Armagh

I got it of orchard county and the impression I got was that it was the whole list.

Cross probably excluded for obvious reasons. 

[Aghdavoyle]

we'd have a couple of very good forwards who start for our senior team who'd be eligible for u21 next year. very confusing that both lads wouldn't get a trial

[full back]

I would expect there will be another trial.
Any player who was nominated by his club will get a trial

[illdecide]

What other clubs are missing?

Maghery, Mullaghabawn, Crossmaglen, Dromintee, Granemore, Clann Eireann, St Peters, Wolfe Tones. I stopped after that amount and i'm sure there are loads more

As already stated, its obvious why Cross players are missing.  There are some players from Dromintee certainly worth a trial.  The reasons for the others clubs being excluded could be either they have no players worthy of a trial or that they have players who are automatically on the panel and don't need to attend a trial? I can't see how a full trial could be made up of the teams mentioned above?
