Armagh Club football & hurling

[illdecide]

Clanns first 3 games are away to Cross home to Harps and then away to Ogs. nice easy start (my bollocks) considering they haven't even started to train yet. I take it all the rest of the clubs are pre-season training?

Anyone at the hurling yesterday in Keady, a 1 point defeat to Carlow, tough to take, but a creditable result, Who was top scorers/performers etc.

I was at it. Armagh were helped by a poor Carlow performance in the 2nd half who also had a man put to the line. They had the chances to bury Carlow in the second half and but they decided to take points from two late frees which a blind man could have seen should have been dropped into the edge of the small square. They were crazy decisions at a time when only a goal would do.

Armagh midfield was poor enough as McCormack had to bale them out a few times and they have some issues in corner back as Mallo is just too small against a bigger corner back.

Oh yes. Poyntzpass had a major session in the Dyke last Friday night. Three players still missing in action.

Thats impressive, keep her lit. Were you's celebrating something or just the annual piss up

The County board not having the balls? Now there is a surprise.

I know a few of the Bridge lads, held their dignity thorughout the brawl by all accounts.


Thanks Corn, I agree, although for all the punishment that was dished out we might as well have got stuck in.

Well Pint i c you's lads have 3 Lurgan teams the first 3 games, the Tones and Clann Eireann are tricky games but the Peters are rank. Home advantage may count against Clann Eireann but away to the Tones will be tricky and it wouldn't matter where you played St Peters

[David McKeown]

Can we just end the league now as its possibly the only time I will ever see Annaghmore top of division 2.  On a serious note what are your guys predictions for who will go up and down this year?

[Tir na nÓg]

Culloville, Mullaghbawn to go down from Div 1.
Killeavy, St.Michaels up from Div 2

[heganboy]

whitecross in division I Ballyhegan in Division III
the shame of it.
An Port Mor, Ballyhegan and Middletown should all be doing better than they are last year

[Armagh4SamAgain]

Mullaghbawn will never go down but Kileavy and Silverbridge should go up. Ballyhagen would need to get there act together if they want to bounce back up. Div 3 is tough.

Had Clann Eireann in the first game last year and St. Peter's in the second. The St. Peter's aren't the greatest but it did take us a last minute goal to win the last game we played against them, and we were woeful that day.  Had two really good tight games with Clann Eireann but we came out the wrong side of them.  After last year, to keep momentum going I think we have to go up this year.

I can't see culloville coping in division 1, but I hope I'm wrong.

[Armagh4SamAgain]

Culloville will struggle all rite. Do you not like them Pints after last year??

Clann Eireann have a new manager this year so its hard to say what he'll do for them, they have quality players but most of them fail to step up to the mark when their needed. St Peters have a very young side and only one real danger man "David Wilson". As for the Tones on their day they are capable of beating most teams they are a very workman like team with no outstanding players. With the momentum the Bridge had from last year i expect them to be challenging for promotion at the end of the year. Division 2 looks very competive this year, should be interesting. Would you be happy with 4pts for the first 3 games?

What did you think of DM going back to Armagh, he told us last night after training. Armagh could be doing with him this year!!
