Armagh Club football & hurling

[thebandit]

John Murtagh lives on the Blayney road out of Cross, right beside the border. He lives in Tullyard, which traditionally was considered part of Toome (I think it was in Monaghan before the border was redrawn) but I dont think too many will argue that he is not correct and right to play for Cross

[Goats Do Shave]

Is there many Cross men defecting to other neighbouring clubs to search for regular football?

Did ballyhegan not poach a few players from the same family a while back? 

If a player/family falls out with a club, sure it's up to them if they want to continue playing football elsewhere!

We've taken in Tiffney's & McCormacks in the past & why not? (We'd only 15 players lined out at the weekend!!!!!!)

Ogs not looking JP anymore?

He's a born and bred cullyhanna man.

Are you maybe thinking of John Donaldson?

that was my point exactly, that players fall out with teams all the time.  I couldn't help getting a wee dig at you though.  It happens all around.

Further signs of imcompetence from the County Board Or is it a conspiracy theory against the city teams: both the Ogs vs Maghery and the Cuchulainns vs Middletown fixed for the same evening.

Who is in charge of orgainising these fixtures

Have the fixtures been offically released, if so it is an absolute disgrace and a kick in the teeth for any aspiring dual players.

Any times or venues

No, though Donaldson is also a cullyhanna man obviously.

How is Murtagh a Cullyhanna man?

No dispute about JD!

[mackers]

[dontcare]

ok then,  were do they steal players from???  and why would they have to do this whenever they have possibly the best structure of any club in armagh

They steal players from their neighbouring clubs, john donaldson, john murtagh are not from Cross and have recently started targeting children in silverbridge.  Why do they do it, I've no idea.

POG, I know this topic is probably over now, but i have just logged on today as i was away and you are so out of order in what you are saying, John D and John M both came to cross after having a blow up with their own club ST Pats , cross did not STEAL THEM, it was their choice, and look at what they have now, as for children in silverbridge, i think your wrong, cross have enough of a panel at underage and so do the bridge, you just have to look at both clubs on a sunday morning from under 6 up.
