Game over - bad weekend for us.

Looks like we'll be going to Inniskeen in a few weeks desperately needing something to stay up. Relegation was always going to be a possibility with all the expermientation though.

Well done Armagh, that's a fine win. 

Listening to a different perspective on mid-west radio it probably does show that Amagh supporters are far far too hard on ourselves.  They accentuated our positives whereas we (naturally enough) concentrate on our deficiencies.

Very strong around MF.  Also about our defensive set-up when our backs were against the wall, our physicality, Vernon's driving forward into the wind, a lot of which we give off about :)

edit.  Mid-west gave Vernon MOTM

Despite the errors, this was an important win for Armagh 2-10 to Mayo 1-10. A bit of the same next week would be nice!

Charlie Vernon was immense, put in a serious display. Stevie McDonnell was excellent too. Mayo left themselves with too much to do when we went eight points behind in the first half. That said we got the gap to one point with ten minutes to go but that was our last score and Armagh showed admirable wherewithal and composure in closing the game out. Very physical too, really outmuscled a lot of the Mayo players. Conditions didn't help either.
Mayo for Sam! Just don't ask me for a year

Disappointing. Didn t like the selection for this one. I know we re in a development phase but it is important to win home games and stay up. I particularly liked our halfback line the last day as they were the springboard for our attacks and would have left them together for this one. Our midfield was too similar and too nice. If there was a game to try Kilcullen then this was it. The Galway selection would have won this I feel. Saying that it is worrying that when we got back to a point with 15 to go, and a storm at our back, that we could not kick on and we finished tamely like we did against Kerry. There is still a absence of craft and real leadership around and our use of some good possession in the final quarter is way below what is required at this level. Depressing that we were reduced to hoofing high ball in to try and rescue a point at home.
