What exactly does that have to do with this year championship game between the two teams exile??? Whaever has happened in the past goes out the window.

Can't see Clans getting within five of Cross - although Mardsen is still a classa act.

Harps posters: case for calling for a postponement with Holmes on county duty?

Well if we are to equal Ballina's record of 13 in a row, it looks as if we are going to have to do it the hard way.
After drawing Dromintee in the first round we were hoping to avoid Clans and Ogs in the quarter finals as we are usually a bit sluggish in the early rounds .
However we have drawn the Clans who have a great championship record and will be a tough nut to crack.

They should have beaten us in the league in Davitt Park when we were almost at full strength and we stole the points with a late goal.
Hopefully we will have some of our injured players back for this game.

no chance , i think that was tried a few years ago when there was a clash and the county board laughed at us.


A double header in the Athletic Grounds would be great

Harps V Bawn
Cross V Clans

was at county convention a few years back when a motion was passed regarding armagh county players and club matches not sure which one it was now the killeavey chairman tried to get it to cover all counties to cover killeavey when stanfield wasn't available and he was laughed at!

i would certainly imagine that any request from harps would be the same!

anyword yet on venues??

[diesel-smuggler]

if they choose crossmaglen v clans as the first game in the refurbished athletic grounds the county should market the product and have it under the new lights too!

if done correctly they could fill the place and generate alot of interest and revenue in the athletic grounds

couldnt imagine them having the sense of the know how to do this unfortunately

I assume the athletic grounds will be used, saw pictures of them and the place is looking well. Would imagine Clann Eireann/Killeavy & Clans/Cross would make a better double header, Lurgan vs S.Armagh!

[armaghniac]

Lurgan vs S.Armagh!

Not a very equal contest, in Gaelic Football anyway.

That would be too ethical for them to do that and too much forward thinking involved!

Having reconsidered my opinion & following some sound advice from winsam I dont feel the 4 games will be clear cut   

The Harps/Mullaghbawn may be tight enough
The rest of the games the favourites will win by at least 3 points

[Goats Do Shave]

There's bound to be one shock!

It went pretty much to form in the last round

Actually, Surprisingly it looks half decent!  Thats maybe until them wee fcukers in the estates get their paws on it!

Quite impressive from the pictures anyway.

One other note, attended couple of the Championship games over the weekend and the Admission Fee is Ridiculous!  10 Euro in to watch tripe in Keady, one match!  Went to games in Down also and it was 10 Euro in but you were paying to watch a double header!  I wouldnt mind if some- if not themajority of the money was going to clubs, but they sniff fcuk all of it and the County Board get their grubby little paws on it!
