Heard St Pats & Killeavey 2nd teams got into the league.

Will this affect the relegation issues?

I could be wrong but I think that would have to be ratified by the clubs at the county AGM first. Presuming they both get in I have heard that the Leagues could be re-structured to split the number of teams equally in each division.

If Killeavy 2nds get in, then is it more difficult for Killeen?

With the proposed restructuring of the divisions into just North & South does it not make such a move redundant?  The likes of divisional B leagues will be much better for such restructuring.  Does it mean they'll have to have thirds teams as well??

el your getting very sensitive but he is a balloon and runs a school boy site

Relive a momentous year for the GAA in Armagh.  In the 125th Anniversary of the Association, Armagh continues to thrive.  We reached many milestones throughout the year, culminating in the Tom Markham Cup returning to Armagh aftera gap of 60 years.  The book is a fantastic 200 page publication, and is a must this Christmas for any GAA fan in Armagh.  It catalogues the high's, and the lows, of what was an eventful year for Armagh.

The Book will be launched over 2 locations this week:

SATURDAY 5TH DECEMBER

Eason's Newry - There will be a selection of Senior and Minor Players here, along with the Tom Markham Cup from 10am until 12 noon, with them being available for signing books and for pictures.

The Quay's Newry - There will be a stall in the Quay's where books can be purchased 10am until 3pm, with the Tom Markham Cup from 12 noon onwards

WEDNESDAY 9TH DECEMBER

Easons Craigavon, Rushmere Shopping Centre - There will be a selection of Senior and Minor Players here, along with the Tom Markham Cup from 7pm until 9pm, with them being available for signing books and for pictures.

Congrats to Raymond McSherry who received the clubman personality of the year award at the recent county dinner. Very well deserved.

What is the story with the proposed league restructuring? Are Killeavy & St Pats definitely entering 2nds teams and if so are they keeping their B teams? Personally I would like to see the leagues made smaller with an extra 5th division to try and increase the competitiveness and eliminate pointless end of season games. 10 teams for the top four divisions and the rest in the 5th. Home and away games, get league wrapped up mid-summer in time for championship

We'll not be entering a B team. Think they intend going for 4 divisions of 12. With 5 divisions, the bottom division would only be 8 teams which would mean just 14 games for each team.

Old scores will be settled, battlelines will be defended and honour put on the line as Dromintee prepare to withstand an invasion from Ulster and afar in the much-anticipated Fight Night, which will take place in the Carrickdale Hotel on January 16. Top GAA personalities from Antrim, Derry, Down, Louth, Meath and Monaghan will travel to take on the south Armagh natives with a full house expected.

The bill is sure to keep all in attendance entertained with the top bout of new Dromintee manager Aidan O'Rourke and Derry's Paddy Bradley garnering the most attention. Bradley's Glenullin teammate Gerard O'Kane will have to be on his toes as he comes up against Kevin Dyas, who has two years weight-training behind him from his time with Collingwood in Australia.

The Armagh/Down rivalry has always been legendary and Micheal O'Rourke and Shane O'Neill will try and get one over their Mourne neighbours when they come up against Dan McCartan and Aidan Carr respectively.

Colm Coyle began his preparations for his fight 13 years ago in the 1996 All-Ireland final, Pat McEnaney, the referee on the day, wasn't overly impressed with his boxing skills that day and gave him the line. Now the Meath man will get his chance at revenge when he squares up against Ulster's top official.

Whether on the pitch or in the political arena, it seems that there are plenty of people looking to land a blow on Antrim's 'Mr Marmite' Kevin McGourty; now Dromintee and Armagh defender Barry Shannon will get just that chance.

Vincey Martin's Dromintee hardman reputation will also be on the line when he comes up against Louth player Paddy Keenan. There will also be a number of contests involving local fighters on the night.

Aidan O'Rourke, one of the chief organisers, is anticipating a great night of entertainment; 'There'll be no holding back knowing the boys involved, said the former Orchard County All Star. Everyone is taking it very seriously. I know the Ulster lads have been training away and are coming here to win. We are as well. Seamus McCormick and the Sacred Heart Club in Newry have been fantastic in giving up their time in attempting to teach us the ropes.'

Organisers are keen to stress that tickets are selling fast and are encouraging people to get their tickets before Christmas to avoid disappointment.

Tickets for the event cost £10 and can be purchased from www.ticketmaster.ie
