A special award should be given to that guy Damien McCullough (aka Tigger) on Newry's local radio station for his hilarious match commentaries of Armagh games.  I listened to him commentating on the recent McKenna Cup match between Armagh and Antrim, and it was one of the greatest pieces of comedy ever heard on the airwaves. 

Q101 match commentator Paddy Hunter does a decent job covering Tyrone and Fermanagh football on local radio, although he can often be let down by Red Knight analyst Alan Rodgers.  At least we are spared having to look at the Gaelic Life journo and author of Moy's new Centenary Book, Forever Young on Moy Fields , on TV.  Rodgers' face is certainly more suited to the radio!!
