good win for the clans yesterday i see. was the boy mcalinden playing who was involved in the incident with the referee in whitecross match playing, (think i got the name right). i hear there is some sort of mix up with his suspension

He was, the county board did not recieve the ref's report. So until they get one they can't do anything and considering he admitted afterwards that he made a mistake he might not produce one either. thats the only thing i have heard, have you heard something different??

Illdecide would you not expect a bit of singing and cheering from Tir Na Nog after they came through the saga or did they go over the top?

With Kernan gone Swift will surely be returning to the panel?

Was it the not so great RQ who refereed the Newtown & Annaghmore game yesterday?

Corn seriously it was way OTT, banging the walls of the changing rooms and singing at our door"We are the champions" and all that shite. The big difference was when we won we walked of the field like it was half time no celebrating or singing, what was there to celebrate we beat Porty in a league match!!

Porty's problem is that their match with us was their championship final and i would not be one bit surprised if Cruppen beat them in the next round. To be honest i don't care who wins it as neither team will count when the heat is turned up

[corn02]

Thats not what they think round Camlough, they reckon there the main challengers to Cross.

[full back]

Correct Corn. Heard that around Camlough myself
Think they were beat by Killeavey last night mind you, so they may have to re-think

[lurganblue]

i still reckon they'll beat portadown though.

didnt know they were at that craic again this year illdecide. i remember they were at that after a league game about three years ago. its something that will stick in your memory forever!

[bennydorano]

Harps travel to play Cross tonight in the minor championship. What are Cross like, strong as usual?  Any comments/tips from our south armagh bretheren?

LONG TIME NO HEAR SON, YOU MUST BE A BUSY MAN THESE DAYS You know the craic yourself, if thats what floats their boat ::)If a teams only ambition is to beat the clans in the first round of the championship and thats what they are happy with then good luck to them. Thats why they'll never win FA

Annaghmore v Saint Michaels

Annaghmore can feel slightly aggrieved as they fell to their second straight one point defeat at home to Saint Michaels this past weekend.  Annaghmore started brightly with the opening score coming from an Owen McCormack free.  Saint Michaels levelled the match shortly afterward however it was Annaghmore who were getting on top around the middle of the field and scores from Seamus McConville and Martin Tennyson helped them to open up a 0-3 to 0-1 lead after 15 minutes.  This lead though seemed to spark the men from Newtownhamilton into life as they scored an unanswered1-3 in a 10 minute purple patch.  Credit though to Annaghmore who did not let their heads drop and by the time Owen McCormack scored his second point to cut St Michaels lead, Annaghmore were back on top.  Gavin McGilly restored parity to the score sheet with a fine goal on the turn just before half time.

The second half again started brightly for Annaghmore as Shane Smith scored with the first attack of the half.  At this stage Saint Michaels were looking ragged and their frustration began to show and although they managed to draw level again, it did not last long as Owen McCormack restored the home side's lead.  Things then seemed to go from bad to worse for Saint Michaels as they had their full forward red carded for striking off the ball.  This though seemed to fire Saint Michaels as they once again drew level.  At this stage the tensions were rising and the dismissal of first Daniel McCormack and then Gavin McGilly for a seemingly innocuous incident only added to the drama.  Despite being a man down Annaghmore once again took the lead through Shane Smyth and as full time approached and Saint Michaels had another man dismissed for what appeared another innocuous tackle, it looked like this might be the winning score.  However Saint Michaels had other ideas and they were able to draw level six minutes into injury time after the referee moved a free kick fully 30 yards from the sideline to right in front of the posts.  The reason for this move is somewhat unclear as no one was cautioned for any offence.  Despite having already played 36 minutes the drama was not to end there and after winning a 45, 9 minutes into injury time, the responsibility fell to the Saint Michaels goal keeper to try and winning the game for his side.  If he was feeling the pressure he didn't show it as he coolly slotted the ball between the posts.  The game though still didn't finish at this point and although Annaghmore had one last attack they were unable to break through the Saint Michael's rear guard. As a result Annaghmore once again missed out by the narrowest of margins as the game finished Annaghmore 1-7 Saint Michaels1-8.

Annaghmore Scorers

G McGilly 1-0, Owen McCormack 0-3, Shane Smith 0-2, Seamus McConville and Martin Tennyson 0-1 each

Newtown are Jammey (sp?) f**kers, that's their last three points they've got from referees. 


Carrickcruppen are not going to challenge cross or get close to them!  What's the basis of these claims?

[diesel-smuggler]

corn and fullback i would love to know where you are hearing these claims that we think that we are the main challengers to cross for the armagh championship! this is total bullshit and certainly not a story that come from the cruppen camp!

we have a match against annaghmore on wednesday night and thats the only thing on our minds at the minute!

so if any of you two want to p/m me with the source of these claims i would be grateful as i am intrigued to find out where they came from!

the way we played against killeavey we wouldnt beat eire og never mind tir na nog!

[David McKeown]

Pints I wouldnt blame Newtown for it, the ref was as bad for them as he was for us.  Although they had no complaints about their first sending off, their full forward nearly knocked out our number 3.

Mind you we have had no luck with referees in recent matches, had we have had we would now be mid table and not in a relegation battle.

[lurganblue]

i still reckon they'll beat portadown though.

Busy enough chief yeah. find it hard to post here sometimes cos i cant get to see the local games or here rumours about whats going on. did you get a run out against portadown?
