Armagh Club football & hurling

[corn02]

Massive, our win there last year was a very important one and the first time we won there in a few years.

Do they still play at the new pitch?

Win that and we are joining Ogs and Crups in the 'nearly there' bracket. I'd say every other team involved in the relegation scrap will be cheering us on, which will be strange. 

Still a good few men down so it should be tight. A loss and we are in trouble big style. Show the same hunger as we did against Cross and we should come through it.

What about Cross? I was going to say will they rest a lot of players for the Killeavy match? But there second string walloped Killeavy earlier in the year so I can't see them getting anything, so they should be worried too.

Cruppen v Ogs is just a race for second and I expect Camlough to win it, they are playing really good football this year.

Clans and Mullaghbawn has the obvious implications.

Sarsfields have hit four oals away to us and Cullaville so St Pats should be careful. A Cullyhanna win will leave Sarsfields with a real uphill battle.

[qub la la la]

it depends who culloville are playing that determines what pitch they play on. cruppen played them on the new field at the start of the year but i think they played sarsfields on the old one. I would imagine they will play dromintee on the new field all the same.

i think the permutations leave it that not all the teams on 11 points can finish with more than 16 points so one more win will see cruppen and ogs definately safe, for culloville to catch either of these two they need to win all and cruppen and ogs to lose all games, which i cant see happening.

anyone going to watch clans and mullaghban, expect a dour, low scoring match with mullaghban playing almost everyone behind the ball. Cross will hopefully try to go unbeaten from a cruppen perspective as we have already played them twice. Worst thing for some teams is for them to play their "secong string" as these are all lads looking to break into the championship team. If st pats can stop the goals they should beat sarsfields but thats easier said than done.

ARMAGH CLUB FIXTURES FOR FRIDAY 17 JULY 2009

Friday 17 July
ACL – Div. I (7.30)
Carrickcruppen v Pearse Og (Noel Martin)     Draw
Clan na Gael v Mullaghbawn (Paul Rath)       Clans (i hope)
Crossmaglen v Killeavy (Ronan Quigley)        Cross
Culloville v Dromintee (Stephen Murray)       Dromintee
St Patrick's v Sarsfields (Jimmy McKee)        Sarsfields

Cruppin game was hard to call so i sat on the fence there
Clans game will be a tough wan and a rehearsal for the championship never mind div 1 survival, Clans to win by 1. P.S. who is Paul Rath (ref), never heard of him
Cross to win by 5pts
Dromintee should win by 4-5pts
St Pats v Sarsfields will be a tough wan and i called Sarsfields for the simple reason is they are scoring plenty of goals at the minute and with J McKee refereeing and him very picky this will suit Sarsfields  as Cullyhanna like to be physical and Jimmy will put that out of them.

yes

aye i'll prob know him when i see him, the name didn't ring a bell with me

Candy is that Stumpy current vice chairman of the Harps, training another team against the harps. The one who always thumps his chest and preaches about pride in the Harps jersey. strange times indeed must be the continued lure of the pound. cant wait to see the next bridge/harps game.

Would be something similar to the set-up of armagh legend McGeeney training Kildare....

Illdecide you are picking us based on he performance in Clans, our only decent one bar Cross to date. I would bite your hand off for one-point win never mind ffour or five.

Are there Sunday fixtures?

Of course, head is away witht it.

Having watched Mullabawn this year they are the most negative team I've ever seen at club level. A limited side who play with 13 men behind the ball any team will struggle to score much against them.

Well having played against both teams this year (twice) i believe Dromintee to be a better team than Culloville...and with having a few more players available to you now this can only make you lot stronger hence tipping Dromintee to win by 4-5pts and the fact that culloville have lost ten games in a row (i think) wouldn't be great for the old confidence saan

[thewanderer]

Candy big difference between mc geeney and rath ( ability first ) secondly he doesnt hold a position on club/county committee. ps Whats the story on Peadar will he be taken back with open arms or will his lack of loyalty and commitment stand against him.
