Armagh Club football & hurling

[fcuksake]

It was definately 97 candy, i mind big Eky McGurgan taken cross inc macs and francis apart in killeavy in the semi, but then Barry Duffy did the damage in the final in the athletic grounds

That is deadly, I have no recollection of either the semi or final and I'm pretty sure I would have been at both if I was about.  (I've no memory of the SFC final v Mullaghbawn in '95 either, but I could have slept through that one).

Who was the manager in 97?

cant remember the semi against Cross , but i do recall the final in the gaelic field.  correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the night there was a stripper for Harpo? i think it was his birfday

Charlie Agnew i think. He took it when know one wanted it. And did so for many more years until finally reaching the promised land in 2005.

Ah but what a crop he had then... 

[RealSpiritof98]

What a crop indeed, you are refering to the unique backroom team he had of course. Just out of interest how many of the lads that beat cross that day will be lining out next week.

Lads could someone give me directions to Tullysaran's pitch from Lurgan (yes we could well be playing there in a few years but i have a meeting at their pitch on Monday) and i haven't a clue where it is...

do i go to Portadown - Moy - Benburb
Or M1 toward's Dungannon and cut back on myself???

[Candyman]

Come into the city via the portadown road!! Head for the cathedral (Road) and keep going on out there!! Go straight on past "Free Legar Hill" and the ballycrummy road and you are heading for eglish....
its about 6miles out there i'd say and you'll come to a set of cross-roads.
Left = Caledon
Straight on = Eglish
Right = Tullysaran

Take right at the cross roads and continue up the hill, travel for about a mile until you come to a clump of houses. You will see the chapel on the left and take the next left after that you couldnt miss the pitch....


Best I can do...

[Donagh]

If you are leaving from Lurgan, the handiest way is probably down the motorway and it's the first or second left after the motorway ends (think it's signposted Eglish). Go up that road a mile or two then head left for Armagh. The club is another few miles up that road. 

[Throw ball]

Best way to Tullysaran I believe is to go down the motorway. At end of motorway you come to a roundabout. Take first left heading for Eglish. When you go through Eglish follow signs to Armagh. You will pass Glass Factory and old Kernans mushroom buildings on your left. Couple of miles down the road come to a crossroads. Take a left signposted for Benburb/Blackwatertown. (you can see a church on your left). Travel along this road for about a mile. You will pass a pub on the corner. After this you will see houses on your right. Take first left past the chapel. Pitch and club rooms on left.

Anybody going to take a run to Dromintee for that charirty match?

[illdecide]

Cheers lads, I'll have to work out what ways the longest for the old £0.40p a mile trick (Travelling allowance)

[corn02]

Not sure if I had missed it but RIP to Kevin Donnelly.

Anybody going to take a run to Dromintee for that charirty match?

Likely will Corn - should get a good crowd provided its not clashing with any championship matches.

[corn02]

County final the next day. So shouldbe a few on the Armagh side missing. Won't affect the all-star side.

I would be interested to hear this also, i could hazard a guess at a few of them...

Charlie, Nippy, Sean Morrisson, Kevin Kelly, Chucky...

Just looked at that team's photo, of the panel who won the U21 championship in 2005, just 3 years ago, 12 players do not play for the Harps anymore. What a joke.
