Went to watch Armagh v Tyrone this morning in Edendork.  Tyrone won fairly handily 2-11(ish) to 1-6(ish).  Armagh had maybe 3 players who would expect to start come championship time, the rest were made up of trialists and only a few made any impression.  Don't know how strong Tyrone were, but C Kavanagh and R Mulgrew started in MF, I'd suggest they were closer to a championship 15 than Armagh.  Cavanagh and Mulgrew basically ran the show for Tyrone only Lavery for Armagh around Mf putting in any sort of shift.  The 3 established Armagh players were Vernon@FB, and LAvery and G O'Neill in MF.  I dont really pay much attention to the opposition on days like these, but apart from MF the Tyrone corner back(2) was excellent.

The game itself wasn't up to much, a howling wind dictating the play mostly, Tyrone went in at the half with about 1-10 scored and as much again put wide, Armagh had 0-2, both frees.  The wind helped Armagh in the second half, but most of their scores game from frees and indeed the goal came from a 50 that O'Neill punched to the net after a scramble in the goalmouth.
