Is that a hurling score?

Unfortunately Not !!

Final score 2-22 to 0-3. Embaressing is not the word.

Blackwatertown Shamrocks are happy their 121 year record of heaviest defeat in the senior championship final is now gone!

That may be because it is not a word.

Piss off, I have a hang over!

Just checked county final scores from over the years... by far this is a record winning margin or losing margin, whichever way you want to look at it. Closest to it where Cross' victory over Clans in '96 by 14 points, followed by their victory over Madden by 13 in '98 and Clans over Maghery by 13 in '93.

My error... I didn't even look at the first scoreline on the list!!

Yes still it was 23 points, the record is now 25 points - crazy - doesn't really say much for Armagh football, or maybe it just confirms the dominance of Cross!

Couldn't fault the nab defence though...

Surprised they didn't throw in the towel at halftime. Cross should hammer us now after that result.

Favourites for the game and played like favourites should, Could be a Halloween Nightmare again for us against cross

As an historical aside, I'm not sure we can compare with Blackwatertown's horror show with today's result given that back then a goal outweighed any number of points I think. A goal wasn't worth a set value of points.

Aye and they played with a cabbage too, 25 aside and there were hills on the pitch

Sounds good, the nab could have been doing with 10 extra players today!

What a disappointing result. I can sympathise with the Nab because they did to us in the QF what Cross did to them today today - simply froze on the occasion and didn't play to their potential.

The Nab were never in it. In the first half they'd about a handful of scoring chances and took only one. Cross with a strong enough breeze had plenty and took nearly all of them, showed no mercy. The second half was more of the same. Left early.

On an aside that puke making constant announcements over the tannoy gave me a right headache listening to him read every word out from the programme
