Is anyone tracking the progress of St.Galls, or is it a case of getting county final out of way first?

Would Cross be confident in Belfast?
Would Nab just be delighted to win county title?

I don't think anyone can look past the Final. ST Galls have won the Antrim championship and that won't make any odds to the Armagh championship. Cross would have a fair idea what would face them if they had to play them and would be confident that they had what it takes to beat them. Ballymacnab, I can't comment on but I am sure they have full confidence in there own abilities.

bcb - i take it you will go for your own club for this one!

KNow very little about Ballymcnab (excuse my ignorance) - who would they have?

Is it a surprise they got to final?

Ballymacnab are there very much on merit, they have McParland and Grugan as stand out players but they also have a group of tight working players who will have full confidence in their ability to win it. We are obviously favourites but that will mean very little once the ball is thrown up.

Trouble was during second half. Dealt with by stewards and culprits shown the exit gates. It is a long time since I saw such scenes at the Athletic Grounds.

What happened?

Ballymacnab although big underdogs they will not disgrace themselves in the final, they are no Madden in the 90something final. They have a lot of class up front but cross are great at choking the life out of classy forward lines and they will have done their homework as the clans and granemore 2nd halfs were near carb and copy. I hope we get a game worthy of a final, but if the ogs minors win on wednesday night surely the senior game will be 2nd billing

what happened i crowd , not like clonmore?

Clonmore player (no.6?) lands a big hit on young Ogs forward (didn't see it so don't know if it was legal/illegal). Ogs player lying down on ground receiving treatment.

The first gentleman took exception to this, started shouting to him to get the f**k up etc.

The second gentleman, behind him, took exception to that and branded the Clonmore no.6 a gypsy.

The first gentleman did not hear clearly, and asked the second gentleman to repeat himself.

Second gentleman repeated himself.

Third gentleman throws first dig towards gentleman number two, melee ensues between 1,3 and 2; a few women and children in immediate vicinity become visibly distressed, (especially women sat along with gentleman 2) small bit of blood discharged from gentleman 2, incident is swiftly dealt with by stewards and is cleared within minutes.

Unsavoury scenes though it has to be said that neither gentleman 1 or 2 are from Clonmore or Éire Óg (Blackwatertown and Glenavy actually - big rivalry that); though I cannot comment as to who gentleman 3's club may be.
