Sunday 18th November
Semi Finals:
St Galls(Antrim) v Kilcoo Eoghan Rua(Down)   (Athletic Grounds)

Does the bus from Dublin go anywhere near there lads?

[Throw ball]

If you are on about Dublin bus going to Armagh it stops at other end of town but would only be a 5 or 10 minute walk to Athletic Grounds. At that time on a Sunday it would be best to walk through the town and avoid mall if you are looking to get directions.

Cheers. That sounds grand.

you can't take the train anyway, the Morgan Athletic grounds is built on the Armagh - Blayney railway line!

there you go http://tinyurl.com/br5mav3
you can head into the COI Cathedral en route, although it was probably busier last Sunday.

I was v disappointed with St Eunan's on Sunday TBH, i thought there were far too many players not able for this level who constantly fumbled the ball and passed straight to the opposition. R Cavanagh was their only real danger man and he was well marshalled but to be fair if you've only one man to worry about in a team like Cross then it's a formality.

I hope Cross win on Sunday being from Armagh but i have a sneaking feeling Errigal might just beat Cross, they have 5-6 exceptional players that Cross have to worry about and they can match Cross physically. If I'm not mistaken i believe Errigal have a fine record against Cross too? Maybe someone can clarify this?

Who else are Errigal missing apart from Daisy?

Did St Eunans focus too much on Jamie Clarke, he didn't score anything..

Hard task for them to win their first County title in 6 years, and come back down to earth playing the best Club team in Ireland a week later in the Athletic grounds.

It certainly indicates the limitations of the theory that if you hold Clarke, you stop Cross. If you could hold Clarke with one man this might be true, but if he draws several defenders then the other forwards will exploit the space. If you put one man on Clarke he'll score some regardless of a good man's efforts, or at least draw frees which is much the same thing with Oisin, TK and AK about.

Come on boys, you forgot that he is from Crossmaglen. Only they are allowed to patrol where they want. They never do anything wrong, they only do what is right.

Who we talking about?

As an Armagh man not from Cross who was at the match I would say that the Hoganstand story is very onesided. The Eunans joint manager spent more time on the pitch than their number 7! I have no doubt at all that the Cross man in question gave him a mouthful ( and not too pleasant at that) but the Eunans man pushed him a good couple of times before he was pushed back. Would have been a bit of an unfair fight I would think! To be honest I never thought there was much in it from either party and the more interesting bit was the young fella (must have been about 10) who got on the sideline and was going to beat all round him. Due to the colour clash I do not know which team he was with but it did look very funny - although probably shouldn't have.
