Armagh Club football & hurling

[Smokin Joe]

When the Athletic grounds was redeveloped, was a new pitch laid? It wasn't looking great today.

I think a pitch was led a few years before it opened. It is to close again now for 40 weeks for new stand. Pitch must now be one of worst about. Maybe the break will help get it sorted.

Is the new stand to be built at the side where the orange seats are at the moment?

Yes

[thewanderer]

What do yous think about the newcomers/ retried players making the cut as senior county players. on yesterdays performances o,neill ( no chance) feeney (wing mirrors required no chance) mc namee ( potential, needs to release ball quicker.) austin ( def think he is one to work with, 4 clean catches good prospect ) o neill ( dont know if he is halfback, give another chance and position) mackin ( yes ) lavery ( very cumberson and gives the ball away too much).

That 'pitch' is shite shocking, wouldnt be that way if the 'groundsman' did his job.
Callanbridge is nowhere near being called a pitch either, was on it today and its piss

It's hardly the groundman's fault that the scum who smash bottles and pour oil, weedkiller etc on the field every weekend are still doing it week in, week out.

Despite your avatar I doubt if you are a Cuchulainns player or you would know that and wouldn be blaming the groundsman who does a sterling job lifting the broken glass twice a week for no reward.

Stgalls you obviosly are not aware that the groundsmen are paid (employees). Yes i agree that vandalism has been an issue around the ground but the local community group have been doing a good job to curtail it. The main problem lies with pitch which is not maintained by a proper ground specialist contractor like most club pitches are but rather by a local grasss cutter and groundsman with a spade and shovel who dont know the first thing about maintaining grounds. They cant even be bothered to remove the goal nets after each game which is common practice in most club grounds never mind county grounds, which would help stop local children kicking in and out of them. Another small matter is that the flags at each goal and sideline havent been washed from they were bought goin by yesterdays state of them. Now that we have a new chairman on board im sure he will clean the issues of the care of the pitch and people (groundsmen) up.

Minister Richie (think thats how you spell her name) cut the first sod off Davitt Park today, so work is under way and if all goes to plan the 1st phase of works should be complete by the end of April and the new pitch will be available for the start of the 2011 league campaign (hopefully in Div 1 )

torres a bit quick there on parkinson, s oneill need to see more game time and think mackin, dyas, austin will def have alot to offer, still work in progress on mc namee. You obviosly agree in relation to your own club man o neill good club player only.

Can someone post up the fixtures for all 4 divisions please.

[Real1995]

Only have div 1 yellow card at moment

Only have div 1 yellow card at moment

Thanks.

The fixtures seem well spaced out anyway but if I had one gripe it would be the county board failing to ensure that Leagues are played before the start of the Senior C'Ship.

A team could be knocked out of the SFC and have to play their final League match the following weekend with absolutely no motivation unless they are in a relegation battle or vying for the League title.
