Goal-mad London raid the Orchard

ARMAGH 1-15 LONDON 4-07

BY NIALL McDONALD
ANY lingering dejection from the comprehensive defeat at the hands of Derry two weeks ago was well and truly binned at Crossmaglen on Sunday, as the Exiles picked up their first league win in 2010.

The old adage that goals win games was certainly in evidence, as two second-half three pointers from substitute Tom Toomey put the Orchard County to the sword.

Paul Breen opened the home side's account, but London soon found their footing and hit back, Adrian Healy pointing from a free.

Healy was causing the Armagh defence problems, and had the ball in the net less than a minute later. The ball was crossed in from near the end line and Healy was there to smash it home.

The goal brought Armagh to life, and they sprang into action with seven points in a row to turn the game on its head.

At this stage it looked like the home side was in the mood to run away with the game.

But for the tough battling of the two Colms — Burke and Forde — in the London defence, the score could have been much higher. Another Healy free closed the gap to three points, but once again McCormack responded in style for Armagh.

London's midfielders Niall Forde and Keith Kennedy were overrunning their opposite numbers, but their forwards were having little joy. They tagged on one more point but it was immediately cancelled out by a brilliant solo run from Conor McCann.

With time almost up in the first half, Armagh were four points to the good and cruising, but they were hit with a sucker punch before the short whistle was blown.

A long ball from midfield evaded the Armagh defence, and Martin Finn was on hand to score the goal that left London heading to the dressing room trailing by one:
Armagh 0-10 London 2-03.

The home side established a three-point lead within three minutes of the restart, with two points from McCann and Breen.

Healy and midfielder Kennedy responded for the Exiles and another Healy point levelled the game.

In a tight and tense affair, London had the ball in the net for the third time soon after. A long, high ball from Forde dropped in towards the square.

The Armagh goalkeeper went out to clear but missed the ball, allowing substitute Toomey, who had only entered the field a minute earlier, to nip in and tap the ball into the empty net.

London were in the lead for the first time since the first minute, but while Armagh's defence were looking suspect, their forward line was still able to split the posts — two more points inside a minute from Breen left the sides level once again.

One of the sides needed to step up their game to push on for the victory, and it was London that did just that.

Firstly, Jamie McCormack pointed from the wing, and then a mammoth point from Richard O'Connell from all of 70 yards left two points between the two teams.

Armagh needed to chase the game to find a winning goal, but in doing so left gaping holes at the back.

London exploited this with a long ball in the final minute that found its way to Toomey, who smashed the ball into the net to put London five points ahead and out of sight.

Armagh did manage to find the net deep into injury-time from full-back Paddy McArdle, but it was too little, too late as London came away with the victory.

London will be delighted with their win, which lifts them off bottom of the table, ahead of their game this weekend against table-toppers Kerry, at Ruislip on Sunday at 1.30pm.

Is the Ulster minor league match still in Cullyhanna tomorrow afternoon? Might take a run over, pass the time before the rugby.

It was still on yesterday anyway - hopefully it is because I had it put in today's Irish News.

Circus in town early this year TAC?  Even Stepehn Casey wouldn't have resorted to these defensive tactics

I hear they are going to bring in a few ringers.
