All very quiet about the Ogs v Cross U16 match  - surely there are going be real repercussions arising out of this.  Some shocking incidents.

Abandoned match replaying tonight in the Athletic grounds - the GAA obviously washed this under the carpet as usual - pathetic really, sends out some message.

Did you make it to the game tonight?

I was there and wish I'd brought my ear plugs Jim McC never quit the whole game. Cross far stronger on the ball and took their scores well, too many simple mistakes from the Ogs.

I'd say it was all encouragement too!!!!  He can be very hard on his own fella as well but it seems to be working alright. 

I would agree though we were stronger on the ball but more than anything I felt we had a better balanced team.  Ogs have 3-4 excellent players who would be the strongest players on most teams in the county but they seem to try to do everything themselves.  Our boys played very well as a unit with the 'weaker' players contributing consistently.  I felt the Ogs stronger players don't have the confidence in their 'weaker' team mates.

Don't think anyone who seen the game could argue with that, and after seeing boys go on mazy solo runs to end up easily turning the ball over instead of laying it off to boys in a better position, or kicking it hopelessly wide must be frustrating for the 'stronger' players

Chuir Club Dhromainn Tí in iúl do Bhord an Chondae nach mbeadh an club ábalta ach foireann i bhfad ní ba laige a chur chun na páirce siocair nach raibh imreoirí ón phainéal sinsearach s'acu ar fáil.
Statement on behalf of Armagh County Board of The GAA
Armagh County Board would like to apologise to patrons who travelled to the Armagh Athletic Grounds for the scheduled Senior Championship Quarter Final fixture between Dromintee club and Crossmaglen Rangers.
The Dromintee Club informed the County Board at approximately 7 p.m. on Friday evening, the evening of the game, that they could only field a much weakened team due to the unavailability of its senior panel.

[orangeman]

Those statements don't match.

Roughly translated it says " this is just a complete farce, a total embarrassment but it's got nothing to do with us, shame on Dromintee, nobody's fault only their own, ok we could have changed the game for Dromintee cos of the wedding but we were never going to do that, especially when it was Cross that was involved - don't blame us for taking your money at the gate knowing that it was going to be a complete joke of a match - blame Dromintee."

[orangeman]

And we're keeping the money so tough shit.

And we're keeping the money so tough shit.

I was at the match and did not see anyone charged in. Gate was open for free entry.

[brokencrossbar1]

Wind your neck in Orangeman. I don't see how we can be brought into this in anyway. We offered to move the game but Dromintee didn't make any official approach to the club. They went on a solo run and embarrassed themselves and Armagh gaa. We did what we had to do, they didn't. And throw ball is right. There was free entry to the game so no one made any money out of it!

I'm not trying to take a go at Cross BC. CCC made a stance to insist on the game going ahead. If, as you are saying that Cross offered to move the game in order to accommodate your opponents this accentuates the bureaucratic position adopted by CCC. Last night was therefore avoidable but CCC decided to put the head down and plough on. Dromintee obviously felt very strongly about being forced to play on a date they had asked to be vacated and put the wedding before a championship game.

Why did the county board statement say that the county board that Dromintee only contacted them at 7pm yesterday evening which doesn't seem right especially as Cross had offered to move the game ?.

Actually dromintee claim cross point blank refused to change the game because Jamie Clarke goes on another holiday this morning
