Club Championships 2025

[general_lee]

Sure it's only th'oul League.
Do teams play League games without Co players?

Teams are seeded for championship in Armagh based on their league position. So it's taken a bit more seriously than it would have been before. No real dead rubbers either as leagues have been condensed into 8 teams. It also affords smaller clubs an easier path to reaching intermediate or senior football than under the previous system.

So are there just 4 division in the league in Armagh/Tyrone then? Senior/Inter/Junior/Junior B?

An example in my own county of Westmeath, the likes of Killucan would have a large amount of dual players, and a few involved in both county football and hurling squads.
So they play league matches down a lot of players, hence they are in division 3. But when all players are available, they are able to hold their own in the senior championship, have done for the last 20 years or so.

There are technically 6 leagues in Armagh. 1A & 1B (Senior) 2A & 2B (Intermediate) 3A & 3B (Junior & Junior B). There would only be two clubs that I can think of in Armagh that come close to that scenario and no amount of county player availability will change the fact they're both not SFC standard.

Somebody ring Jim quick, he'll release a statement and sort it out...

Obviously anecdotal but how are things going with the new rules in your own county.

Just wondering if some of the teams with 'nicer' players are doing better this year. The top teams in Kildare are still there at Senior level, but down the grades a couple of clubs with lighter and faster forwards are doing the business.

Does the 2 point arc look to be a fair distance out in this Brigids - Roscommon Gaels to anyone else? Maybe it's just the tv angle of it

[thebigfullforward]

Roscommon Gaels arguing with the ref after hitting a player when he tried to tap and go and the ball being moved up 50m 🤣🤣🤣. What's the point? It was the definition of a foul and he was right to bring it forward too

[Rossfan]

Ros Gaels last night managed by our new Co manager.
You'd be worried. ...

Anyone know what the Kilcoo penalty was for at the end

[Blowitupref]

Some comeback by the Roscommon defending champions Pádraig Pearses against Boyle. 0-14 to 0-7 they were behind with 55 minutes played and have brought the match to extra time 0-14 each.

Pearses 7 in front at half time in extra time. Pearses end up winning by 5. What might have been for Boyle.

[Rossfan]

1-16 to 1-4 last 25 minutes or so of playing time.

[weareros]

Poor collapse by Boyle. Thought this could be their year and looked comfortable as game went into last 10 mins. But some turnaround by Pearses who completely out muscled and out fought Boyle from there on.

[Rossfan]

Not as easy to close down a game under FRC rules but still....
Momentum can be everything.

Some goal from Ross McQuillan.

Some goal from Ross McQuillan.

Lucky goal and no need for the soccer shite after it

[Munchie]

He knew what he was doing, great goal.

[Armagh18]

He knew what he was doing, great goal.

Of course he did. Super finish.

St Peters ran them a lot closer thank I expected but the 4 best teams in the county are through. Should be 2 excellent semi finals
