Armagh Club football & hurling

[holylandsniper]

Pints, are you thinking when you say Club of the year you mean not just on the field but off the field, and if you are i think you have a valid point.  If that was the case yes Silverbridge should have won it in recognition for all the work they have done, but what criteria is the county board(or those who voted) looking for, must be simply winners.
Also good to see a big third level GAA game in South Armagh.

That's exactly what I'm saying.


I'm not even just thinking of the 'bridge (though you'd think with spending half a million on new fields, opening new changing rooms and renovating the club would give you a shout! - though as far as I recall we've never won it so we wouldn't have when we opened the Resource Centre either) but why don't they look around the county and see who's doing what.  What clubs are working to improve facilities or working with the youngsters.  A good Club isn't about how many medals the senior team have!
If it is, why don't they just hand it to the senior county champions every year?

Been told Paul Turley is the new Ballyhegan Manager.

Opinions??? Especially from Ogs people?

[topgun]

It's hard to look past Cross for club of the year esp as they won the Ulster title

[asitis]

spot on

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

I note you can't argue that he's a good role model. I don't know how he got it, maybe he threatened county board officials again?

1. The award had nothing to do with being a role model

2. Why is he expected to be a role model anyway?

As it happens, he's probably as good a role model as any other intercounty footballer.

Clearly not.

2. Why is he expected to be a role model anyway?

It goes with the terrority of being with a county player. 

As it happens, he's probably as good a role model as any other intercounty footballer.

aye

and the only club i see who could have rivalled cross for club of the year is cullyhanna, with the tremendous success they achieved in underage football this year.

Jealous Pints !!

[pintsofguinness]

You'd think so crossfire but actually I'm not in the slightest, I place a lot more value on the great things about the bridge than I do about success and winning - of course it'd be nice. 


Tell me crossfire, when's the last time yous ran a big fundraising night?
I remember being at one about October last year when yous had a bit of an auction - your only county players there were the Kernans - fair play to them.  Mind you the rest of the lads were probably right to stay away because having someone stand at the top of the hall telling jokes about the O'Rourke's and Dromintee was just cringe cringe cringe!

What jokes were they pints? 

[pintsofguinness]

Cant really remember any of them now, there were some in relation to Dromintee choking.
I do recall one that started off with the O'rourkes going out to train one day and there was some badger and they went out the next day and the badger was there again and ten minutes later we got to the punch line that Cathal ate martin I think - it was very confusing and just cringe!  He went on and on and on.  To be fair there weren't many laughs.

[Old Bill]

No i wouldn pay in to hear yon carry on!  wldn be my sense of humour!  Altho i would have alot of time for the kernan as u alluded to in one of your previous posts!
