Armagh Club football & hurling

[irunthev]

Lads I'm looking for a bit of historical info here, some of you more knowledgeable guys might have it tucked away somewhere in the back of your minds or in a programme collection.

London and Armagh have played a few times in the Nat League.... ridiculous as it seems, but that's Croke Park logic for you.

I know they played in the 97-98 season and again in 2002, but I'm convinced they played in Ruislip in Nov 2000 but can't find any trace of the result.

Anyone able to oblige please.

IM please if you have any info.

Thanks lads .... and lassies

The 2000 / 2001 NFL would have been the campaign that was badly interupted by Foot & MOuth, we were in division 2 under the old 2A & 2B system so might have played London. If we played them in 2002 then we were probably in the same division in 00/01. Can't recall the game at all.

In 97/98 I think all 4 division were of equal strength so the best teams were in with the weakest (not that we were amongs the best at that stage) so that's how we played London - possibly at Davitt Park? They fixed the draw that year I think to allow a 50th anniversary game between Kerry and Cavan at the Polo Grounds.

Looked through a few old programmes but all I could find was a fixture list for the 2000/2001 league campaign, which showed that Armagh were due to play London at home in the last round of fixtures on 25/03/01. As TAM has pointed out, that was the year of the Foot and Mouth outbreak so I doubt that match actually took place. Don't remember it anyway.

According to the same programme, Westmeath were the only county to play London away in November 2000.

Crossmaglen might have paid a visit or two to Ruislip around that time to play club quarter finals. Although they didn't win the Ulster championship in 2000.

According to gaainfo.com Armagh have played London twice in the last 20 years.  2002 and 1997.  Both games Armagh scored 4-17
