felt bad for him kicked three points that was one of worst performances I have seen from a collective forward line in croke park.well done cullyhanna hopefully they take big belief from this and can be a big player in Armagh senior championship this year.
I'll be backing them anyway. Maybe wait and see if they struggle in the league to get good odds.

Quote from: intheknowhow on January 14, 2024, 02:50:05 PMPlaying Div 1 has served Arva well

Hopefully more try it to take on the kerry juggernaut annually
I'd say both those teams would be top 3 or 4 in Armagh.
Crazy statement in my opinion. I'd expect Cross,CE, clan na Gael, Madden, granemore, ballymacnab, harps, killeavy, silverbridge to beat Arva comfortably. I'd be reasonably confident that the rest of our senior clubs would also have too much for them. Arva would be a division 2A side at best I'd imagine given that they'd be playing league without their county players.

I wouldn't be confident any of our teams bar Cross would beat them in championship football given how easily Cross won Armagh and how easily they were beat in Ulster.

I expect Trillick would beat Arva a lot more comfortably than they would Clann Eireann. That said, we'll never know!

Should Arva have played intermediate then considering Armagh football is shite and their intermediate team won the final today?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Cullyhanna are a senior team. Along with Clann Eireann and Clan na Gael they'll probably be Crossmaglen's nearest challengers in 2024.
The fact we link our championship to league meant they were punished for having county players unavailable and got relegated via league position. Fair play to them though for making the most of it, delighted they won.
Cavan's system is much better, and fairer, in my opinion.

Armagh18

I'll be backing Cullyhanna for Armagh next year.

yellowcard

Well done to Cullyhanna, that victory was built on a very solid defence and although Cill Na Martra hit a lot of wides a lot of it was down to disciplined defending.

They could carry that momentum through and compete to win a senior championship next season. I'm sure that will be the last thing on their minds over the next few days though.

Great winning speech as well from both captains as well today.

Milltown Row2

What teams that played/won their championships and played in league two of their counties?

Seems nowadays that clubs much prefer to hang back, or drop down to get a run at a provincial championship or all Ireland run

Needs to be looked at in Croke park, if a club wants to drop down and win their county championship in either intermediate or Junior they can't be playing div one football and then represent the county, it should be a div 2 team for intermediate and a div 3 or 4 for junior

You'd soon see a lot of teams cutting their cloth differently

I would imagine they will struggle early rounds of the league more so and be building towards championship and stronger once Armagh are out.

Captain Obvious

Well done to Cullyhanna the first ever Armagh team to win the Intermediate All-Ireland title. Wouldn't have said before that 1-8 would likely be enough to win however it was because that Cork team got worse in front of the posts the longer the game when on.

Just need Glen to win next Sunday for the Ulster trio in All-Ireland success
