Armagh Club football & hurling

Clans beat by about 6pts tonight at home to Culloville.

Culloville are always on the list of teams that are supposed to be relegated, and they haven't the biggest pick in Div 1. But having held their own in the early part of the season when other teams have county players they should do OK later on in the season.

I don't know lads i thought they were poor enough last night that culloville side but that doesn't say a lot for us. I have to say though the condition under foot were in no way good for either of the teams. The difference between the two teams was probably the scoring threat that Culloville carried with the two Hatzer lads up front. If them lads get a sniff at all they know where the net is. The clans on the other hand would find it difficult at the minute scoring in a brothel. The game was what you would have expected from a thursday night game. Both teams found it hard to get up for the game (oh and i think there were 9 points in it at the end saan ) and i think it gonna be a long long year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to mention the ref aswell lads who was a yosemite sam lookalike all was missing was the hooting tooting varment speech and the wee cowboy boots.He gave culloville a lot of soft free kicks in the first half resulting in three or four scores. He also let number 7 for culloville blatantly laying the boot into a clans man without even booking him (infact he booked two of our players for complaining about it) but the best part came when he witnessed Marty Lavery getting pushed over the line almost into the fence he gave a sideline ball to culloville ( when questioned on the decision his explaination was he jumped best answer i have ever heard) But when further pushed on the incident he said sure i know him aswell as you know him by now (what this had got to do with that match or that tackle baffles me) What it does tell me is that certain referees come into games with the intention to give certain players fook all. But it must be stressed the game wasn't great and Culloville deserved the victory.



well done ref

I know of 1 boy from the Clans that could help them out there

well done ref

Clans don't have much of a scoring threat, defensively I would say they are sound enough but struggle at the other end to put scores on the board. it will be a slog alright this year but sure didn't killeavy lose their first 6 matches last year or something to that effect? culloville won't set the world on fire but they are a solid side who finished high up the league last year and will probably do likewise this year.

cross 1-14 sarsfields 1-9

scrappy enough game cross never really got out of 2nd gear very heavy pitch.  had a very strong team out hearty,ak,jd,b mckeown, paul k,tony,k, mckenna to name a few.  tony kernan showed very well and oisin scored a clinical goal in the 2nd half

Carrickcruppen 1-05 Dromintee 0-09

I must say Cruppen played some pretty horrible stuff. I was very disappointed they were anywhere near us and its an indication of how poor we were tonight. We were missing some players through injury but we certainly had more than enough on the field to be far too much for Cruppen. If Cruppen continue like that I think they will struggle.

However bad we were, a win is a win and its 2 more points in the bag.

Cruppin should have had that game dead and buired at half time!! they hit i think 8-10 wides in the first half, ref give dromintee some easy frees at cruital points in the second half!

And to be honest i wudnt say that is was because dromintee were bad, cruppin outplayed dromintee in most areas of the field, had about 70% posession in the first with it being 50/50 in the second half! they just just through it away, another game cruppin should have won!!!

Cruppen could not tackle at all, serious problem with fouling all over the field. Are you aware that the ref in question would have done anything he could to have had Dromintee beat?

If Cruppen outplayed Dromintee (they didn't as the scoreline suggests - came close though) it is because Dromintee were bad.
