Is there a proposed date for the senior county final in Armagh? Just interested. Cant find it on the county website

19th October

We have to check to see if that suits us first, we might have something on that weekend

Don't forget to check if Jamie has a holiday booked!

This might be a case of a story growing legs but this is funny if true.

Allegedly this happened at the Cross Dromintee "match" :

A fella took a call who was marking Aaron Kernan. I could hear his phone ringing and he answered it.

The phone conversation was "yes is that two pallets? I should be able to get that to you tomorrow. I'm just at a match here".

Well Oisin recounted that story on RTÉ, so you can play it back on the website if you wish.

So the senior, intermediate and junior teams are all out of Ulster. Is that the quickest ever?

Are we really that poor?

Omagh beat us because a lot of things went in their favour on the day. 9 games out of 10 we would have beaten them and be sitting in an Ulster final. Generally we do not do overly well in the junior and intermediate, I think we only have had 4 teams in the intermediate finals since both competitions started and no winners and only 2 in the junior final with 1 winner, An Port Mor. Tyrone and Monaghan have dominated both tournaments with Derry doing well also. Fermanagh have the same amount of titles at both levels as Armagh!!!

Armagh football is dead at this stage.

GAA star Ronan Clarke is seriously injured in club match

Former Armagh GAA star Ronan Clarke is in intensive care after being injured in a club match on Friday night.

The 32-year-old is understood to have sustained a head injury after colliding with a goalpost while playing for Pearse Og against Maghery.

Clarke is being treated at Craigavon Hospital and on Saturday his condition was reported to be serious but stable.

The forward was a member of the Armagh side which won the All-Ireland Football Championship in 2002.

He was honoured in the GAA's end-of-season All-Star awards on two occasions.

Just heard this, I hope he recovers fully and quickly.

Ulick · August 15, 2015, 10:15:38 PM

Gaelic Life and the Og's Facebook saying he has made "significant improvement" tonight in Craigavon hospital. Sounds positive thank God.

Soup an Samajiz · August 18, 2015, 12:11:16 PM

saw the incident, took a bad blow, surprised he stayed on the field though, was at least another 5-10minutes played I think, looked unsteady on his feet when he was first helped up again, the match was long over as a contest, couldn't understand him staying on the field.

Pearse Ogs were surprisingly (to me anyway) very poor, Maghery team far superior all over the field

Maghery seem to have been knocking on the door in Armagh for a few years now - put up or shut up time at this stage you'd imagine. Would they have many coming through from youth teams?

Wonder what was the story with Barney Gormley getting the road so early in the year? Have they someone in to replace him?

Couldnt make my mind up whether Ogs were really that piss poor or were Maghery just really good. I'd have them and Cullyhanna/Harps as the three teams to put it to Cross. Whether any of them actually have the balls to go on and do it remains to be seen. As for Maghery they wouldn't be overly strong at underage usually division 2/3 at minor anyway. Just have a really strong core at senior level and are able to add to it every few years or so with the odd gem. Think gormley got chased, fell out with too many players I'm told. Few clubmen over them now by looks of things.
