Armagh Club football & hurling

[brokencrossbar1]

You can never win enough times and as each record falls the will to break more grows stronger and stronger.  This is the mantra that I am sure drives on many of our lads and it is simply awesome what they have done.  At a time whenever football is at its most competitive and time demanding a record like this is laid out.  I do not mean disrespect to Ballina but their 13 in a row ,although impressive, pales into insignificance when compared to what was achieved today.

Once again I had the dulcet tones of Damian McCullough to guide me through the ups and downs of the game and it certainly seemed that Cross always had the winning of the game in their own hands, even though they did not get as many scores on the scoreboard in the first half that they should have.  I never felt like they would lose as Ogs simply did not have the personnel around the park.  Clarke tried his lot but seemed to be starved of possession and support.  Francie even had the audacity to meander to the full forward line once or twice and poor Damian nearly had a canary in the commentary box! 

To all the management  and backroom staff who were involved throughout the run, this is a time for all of them to be proud as at the end of the day without them being the glue keeping it all together this would never have happened

As always the old dogs for the tough road, Oisin, John and JD seemed to stand out Oisin in particular played his usual Final winning performance(Did he get man of the match again?)  They will be almost impossible to replace but there is enough talent there to keep things ticking on for a good few years yet. 

I would like to wish a special congratulations to the twins, oisin, Francie, Paul Hearty and the Red destroyer for being there from start to finish.  It is an amazing accolade and when you consider that all six started in the first one and then in this one it makes it all the more commendable.

As for the people who cannot see it within themselves to congratulate us, take a look at yourselves and you will see in what you say and post on here a better reflection of your position in life than ours.

Congratulations to Harps on a remarkable minor performance.
We didn't really expect to win but we were unprepared for such an onslaught.
Hope you win the Ulster now.

Well done

Well done to the Harps.  It is not often that Cross are blown out of the water and that is what happened today.  Thankfully from our point of view the main attraction was ours in the end up but this is a fantastic achievement for the Harps.  I hope that the club can now build on this and keep this team together and not let it fall by the wayside the way some of the underage teams in Harps have.


Once again a mighty comhghairdeas and enjoy yourselves,and best of luck in the St Paul's Tournament.  You can never bring enough Ulsters back to Armagh!

Just sticking up what i posted on the Harps thread.

Congrats to the mighty rangers on a good win today and a fantastic achievement in 13 in a row.

i'm a little bemused why bc would be waiting for rounds of applause from strangers when his club has just secured another chamionship?

I don't understand bc, who has done that?  Obviously you feel someone has done that to spark that remark?

Unbelievable achievement from cross, never got to the match.  Would anyone have the cross lineout?

[Rufus T Firefly]

Congratulations to Rangers on a brilliant achievement, and it is sure to keep the discussions going on here about who is second best! 

The two players that stood out for me today were John Donaldson and John Mc, both of whom seemed to be everywhere when it counted in the second half.

Time has come for a senior final to have an official from outside Armagh - some of the decisions today defied belief - as for 2 minutes of injury time - wish I had a watch like that, the work day would fly through!!!!!

Congrats to Cross. You can try and pick holes left, right and centre but it in the end you can't pick any. some achievement - congrats BC, a fine contributor to the board. Ditto Harps, I'd say it has been a long time since Cross were dismantled like that.
