surely this guy

I'll give the predictions an aul rattle. For what it's worth I think the ulster league is an excellent idea and of a great advantage to those teams making an effort in it. Also helps bigger teams blood new talent at adult level. I think my own club bredagh will get it extremley tight in 2. But sure if it helps.

Div1-cushendall
Div2-ballinascreen
Div3-Clooney Gaels/ burt
Div4-kilclief
Div5-All saints

mostly guess work at this stage. Anyone agree/disagree?

Division 1 - Cuchullains Dunloy
Division 2 - Ballinascreen
Division 3 - Rasharkin / Naomh Colm Cille
Division 4 - Seán Treacy's
Division 5 - All Saints

Kehoe Cup Shield Final:
Armagh 1 17
Wicklow 3 12

Wicklow hit the net with a free in the last minute of injury time to win by a point 

I have the division 4 fixtures if anyone needs them.

no question that mattie did a great job with the hurlers, from where he took them to where they finished under his leadership. however, this management team is capable of leading armagh hurlers to the heights that many in this county will never think armagh can achieve. When is MJ's suspension up? (btw wanderer he's an antrim man). what you say about antrim is interesting. in 5-10 years time, it will be armagh who will be the so called 'kingpins of Ulster hurling', winning ulster championships at minor and senior level. at underage level, over the past few years armagh have beaten the so called big 3 (down derry antrim) on numerous occasions. so the talent and belief is there for armagh to become a greater force in hurling. fair enough armagh aren't going to reach the heights of kilkenny etc, but will improve a vast vast amount as the structure is now in place to allow this progress.

Unfortunately not a big deal beating fingal. Despite a lot of work and money being pumped into hurling the seniors took a step back last season from where mattie had them the year before. And dont look much better this year with one of the main players not attending and concentrating on club football???

i disagree. last season, armagh were 5 points away from a nicky rackard final. they should have beaten meath in the semi final at navan, but they allowed meath to gain a bigger first half lead than they should have, as armagh tried to score a late goal or 2 in the first half, should have taken their points.
in 08, the hurlers narrowly avoided relegation by puttin in a great performance v london at pairc esler. howver, the way the draw worked, armagh were then down in the rackard cup last year.
you have to allow the management team time to develop these players, as later on in the year will be the time when the test will come.
if coulter rejoins the squad, hopefully he will, then armagh can take a major scalp in ulster, and go far in the rackard as well. big time.
keep an eye on the minor team as well this year..

much appreciated AZ

any links to highlights of the game?

Is Justy Crozier injured at the minute as I see he wasn't playing for Queen's last night? Is he still a student?

Think Crozier and a few other lads had to pull out of Queens squad last night cos of exams this morning

Just so im on the same page as everyone else could somone pm me?Much appreciated

me too please!!

me too please

With O'Shea being out for a while yet, I would love to see Rafael at right back, Fabio at left back. This could enable Evra to push up to left midfield, even as a short term option, blistering pace down the flanks at both sides, with Evra and Valencia.

Ano, its crazy, maybe he was practising for a certain Mrs Robinson?
