Armagh Club football & hurling

[IVEDECIDED]

I would have thought the Harps to be among the favourites....

[wats that 4 ref]

sarsfields would be my tip as dark horses for minor championship lads they always stumble in the league but come c`ship they seem to find something extra.

clans 10-6 up on cross at ht

Draw at FT Clans V Cross now into extra time

[bennydorano]

Killeavey beat Harps by 2 with a late late goal according to text I got.  Not too impressesd with referee by the sounds of it - Gary Smith.

After extra time cross beat Clans by 5-6. Clans will rue their chances  - they should have had the game dead and burried at half time in normal time! But they didnt.....the fight goes on......

Clans 2-14 Cross 3-19 AET.

Jamie Clarke show. Hardly got the ball but when he did get it, caused some damage, must have scored 2-6 or 2-7. Real sickener for Clans, should have had a goal in the first ten mins when the ball came off both posts, think we hit the upright again in the second half.  Led for most of the game until Cross got back into it, and eventually took a one point lead, which was cancelled out with the last kick to get extra-time. Very exciting game and Clans really should have had it won in normal time only for a few lapses of concentration which let Cross back into it. Cross look likely to go on and win.

Who are the more well known names in that Cross side? J Clarke, who else? Are the McKeowns over age?

Probabaly the poorest refereeing display i've ever seen at Harps killeavy match. Actually couldn't believe it. Put me off football the carry-on he was at 2nite

[winsamsoon]

Get used to it the game has gone crazy. wait and see how many refs are busted before the year is out

[armaghniac]

Jamie Clarke show.

If Jamie Clarke had been fully fit for the county U-21 against Donegal, they could have won it and gone far, as Donegal reached the AI final.

Franny Hanratty and James Morgan were on the county U21 side this year, so I'd say they're to the forefront for them too. Paul McKeown is overage.

On that note then I think its important to commend the ref in the Clans v Cross game - he let a good game flow with only minor disruption. Best refereeing performance Ive seen in a while (To be honest that isnt hard in our county)

The only blot on his copy book is the yellow card he showed to Jamie Clarke in the first half for blatantly kicking a fellow to the ground off the ball under his nose!

Only hes on the County senior team he would have seen red - which incidently would have totally guaranteed Clans a 15 point win!!

There was a cub playing for Cross last night wearing no15 with blond hair and he seems like a good we player, I'd have bet money on it that he was the lad that came on sub for Armagh minors on sunday with about 5 mins to go...could someone confirm (as me and Jimmy smyth we having this dispute/discussion last night at the game)

On the game itself the Clans dominated the first half and should have been 10 up at half time, the first 5-10 mins of the second half the Clans held their own and then that was it...all Cross from then on, even when the game went to Extra Time the Cross totally dominated the game. If Clans had have taken their chances in the first half it wouldn't have went to extra time but they didn't and they're out. Good luck to the Cross in the next round.

As for refereeing it was one of the worst displays I've ever seen and i reckon he gave the clans 70% of the decisions, there were times some of the Cross lads were fouled and it was so obvious and blatant that a blind man could have seen it (pull of a jersey and/or high tackle etc) and how he didn't give the Cross free kicks and yellow cards to clans men was unbelievable There were a few missed for the clans too but for me he gave the Cross very little last night and was shocking poor

Middletown beat Keady 3-10 to 1-5. They play Wolfe Tones in the Q/F next
