Strong rumours around dromintee that barry shannon, aidan o'rourke, benny mcardle, vincy martin and shane o'neill could be playing county football for louth this year....

Dromintee are definatley a better team than they were last year but even at this age, cross have all of the pedigree and the habit of winning. all of their team must have either senior or minor county medals?

fingers crossed... its like 3 years ago all over again and hopefully so will the result!

Jayz we love getting sam to ref. he suits us down to the ground. if you play the ball he'll not punish you. he wouldn't suit cross now bc with their "new" style of play.

I hear young conlon took the huff?

Aidan O'Rouke put the boot in Kernan yesterday in the Irish Star, saying that although he was mentioned at the county convention as being retired, that he services were still available to Armagh and that he hadn't received a call to join pre-season and not even a call to thank him for his services.

I don't know how the Dromintee guys feel, but to me he has been treated disgracefully, yes he might not be at his best anymore ( i feel he's still worthy of his place, after watching him against the Harps in the C'ship) but the least he deserved was a phone call from Kernan.

I think it's well known that this was a "family" decision. Too many run ins with the juniors for Joe's liking and an inability not to speak his mind seems to have led to Aidan's ommission

The u21 championship is very open given the state the harps appear to be in, otherwise it'd be theirs to lose. Dromintee are decent though missing three central men through injury and we're also are losing a few guys to australia at christmas so were hoping the county board would have the respect to play the competition in the correct calendar year. whoever comes through between cross and the bridge will be very strong and the ogs will be no pushover.

Grading underage team is impossible. i'd say by most criteria you'd use in terms of population or members, we'd be graded a junior club.
