Armagh Club football & hurling

[gander]

my armagh just launched on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJuUTPPMY5c&playnext_from=TL&videos=njTxrFl6NZg&feature=sub

some good stuff on it, but is this just a football development thing?
no clips of hurling teams?
no clips of ladies football teams?
no camogie clips?
no club clips?
are these teams not as important to 'my armagh'...or is 'my armagh' just 'my armagh county footballers'?

there should def have the hurling and club stuff, but 'my armagh' is being run by the County Board which is GAA, Ladies football and Camogie have their own organisations seperate from the GAA (rightly or wrongly)

look at the "my armagh" and i cant beleive that 178k was spent on armagh hurling teams in 2009. what a waste of money considering that little or no income came in from national league, sponsorship etc. i commend those hurlers in the county for playing the game but unfortunately armagh will never reach the senior hurling stage of division 1 teams. you only have to look at antrim who have great tradition and invested millions in recent years but now are going backways on the field. as gerry would say "its margaret in wonderland" to think armagh can be a top hurling county. handing out reams of playing gear etc each year does not improve the game. as for the plans of "my armagh" hopefully this will be a great success as we have stood still on the facilities within the county despite being one of the most successfull and well supported teams of the past 10 years.

whether or not Armagh Hurlers ever become one of the top teams in the country is irrelevant, thats not what the gaa is about

Corrahill Gaels Blues  who in the name of christ are these guys splitting from or almalgamating with?

Corrinshego, Forkhill and Culloville I think. Thought it was just Corrahill Blues, don't know when the Gaels bit entered the equation.

[winsamsoon]

How is it possible to select a team when three team amalgamate? Who manages the team and who calls the shots? It is bound to lead to some arguments

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Just organise a few training sessions beforehand and I'd say it sorts itself out. Wouldn't have thought that side would have a huge pick altogether anyway.

[winsamsoon]

Yeah but who organises these few training sessions. There are three clubs involved surely all three will want an imput and surely all three will have different opinions as to the ability of certain individuals undoubtedly leading to conflict

an amalgameted team from clonmore , annaghmore and collageland got to the u-16 county final in 2000 they were named st john,s . i think a kilcluney side reached the latter stages of the minor championship in the late 90,s featuring players from ballymacnab,clady and granemore . when teams cant field on their own they normally join up with their parish neighbours , still would,nt like to be a  selector though 

[winsamsoon]

I know the ins and outs of how amalgamations are formed. I am also on record as saying that they shouldn't be allowed to be strong enough to compete for trophies, This is unfair on normal club teams who are scrapping together teams especially at the difficult age groups (u-21 being one). They are knocking their  pan in to get a team whilst they are coming up against 3 clubs that are just as strong.

On another note Clans beat Sarsfields u-21's

[fitzroyalty]

Sarsfields 1-9
Clans 2-11

Good win against a strong Highmoss side. Ref was poor, wouldn't let the game flow which is a shame given they were two attack-minded sides. Any other scores?

[Benny Barnaveld]

U21s

Tir Na Og   1-03               Crossmaglen   4-10

Roughly! Not sure if that was the exact score
Very one sided and corss missed at least 3 more handy goals

Not sure of the spelling but think it was actually Cill Chluana... they reached the quarter finals and knocked out by the Ogs. Another team that was knocking around at the time was Laochra ONeills. Think they were made up of 4 clubs can't remember who exactly. Have to agree with the other posters about amalgamations though, they should only be formed so a team can be fielded to represent the area. Around the late 90's the two teams above were serious contenders for the championship and I feel that they were formed for the wrong reason
