Armagh Club football & hurling

[Orior]

Fitz you can bet as long as your arse hole looks down the teams needed to get the vital Pt's will do so, there will be a few teams not showing and a few W/O's handed out. However, anyteam that's in the position of waiting on other teams failing (Clans and Clann Eireann) have only themselves to blame for being in that position.

I'm sure you'll agree on that...

100% correct there. Still doesn't make it right though - Makes it harder to take! as long as these things aren't forgotten in the long run I suppose lol

Think Clans and Clann Eireann were officially relegated today anyway! With St Paul's and possibly St Peter's to replace them... How times have changed 

In these days of austerity, and with a view to producing a team that could challenge for Div 1 and the championship, which of the 4 teams above would be the most likely to merge?

two camlough teams in division 1 next year
derbys will be a bit of fun

None. I'd say teams would sooner fold than amalgamate in Lurgan.

When's the last time they played each other? Have shanes ever been division 1?

Now the leagues are wrapping up, does anyone think the new structures have been a success?

I think it's been good, Division 2 and 3 are going down to the wire in terms of who gets promotion - St Peter's, St Paul's, Keady and Middletown are all in with a shout for the two promotion places. Same for Division 3 I think there's a winner takes all game to see who goes up. Also a winner takes all match to see who stays in Division 2.
Division 1 was pretty hectic in terms of who would go down from the bottom half though that has now been sorted. The top half has been riddled with cnf's but I suppose that's to be expected with teams who have retained their status and have nothing else to play for.
The only complaint would be fixtures which have been a shambles but I'm sure that can be worked on and rectified for next year.

Tell me this. Carrickcruppen and Shane O'Neills - how come there are two clubs so close to each other in the same village?

Political split in the 80s.

What was club called before?

[armaghniac]

According to Shane O'Neills website, Carrickcruppen was founded as a breakaway from Shane O'Neills in 1944, the latter folded in 1967.

The "united" Carrickcruppen was a big team in the late 70s,early 80s when they won 3 championships.
Shane O'Neills was refounded in 1984.

United indeed, plus the odd Poyntzpass player or two.

[Pragmatist]

I am now convinced that the naysayers have been right all along. For years I tried to promote the idea that we can improve players' decision-making on and off the ball, their movement off the ball, their positional sense, their timing of runs and their abilities to adapt to different game plans and attacking options. The truth is that for 90% of players we cannot!!
They bring with them their own inbuilt cerebral limitations for these skills and we can labour for as long as we want and convince ourselves we see glimmers of hope, but the fact is that they will revert to type more often than not.
Just get them as fit as possible, as well-conditioned as possible and as technically proficient as possible and forget the rest.

Where do Geraldines fit in this?

[DuffleKing]

Geraldines were Cruppen seconds. Formed in the 80s when cruppen were very strong to give more lads football. The usual story ensued... lads capable of playing senior football but not arsed with the training opted to play with geraldines then families preferred brothers playing together and suddenly Geraldines had a couple of promotions
