Kieran Mc Keever the new manager ?.

Yesterday Maghery showed that commitment and fluency rather than individual brilliance can prove a cocktail for success.
In front of 6,390 fans, they put decades of frustration behind them to come up trumps and in the process several players gave watching orchard county team boss Kieran McKeever a nudge that their credentials might be worth considering when he comes to naming his 2017 panel.

Tipperary - Semi Finals will see Clonmel Commercials play Loughmore Castleiney, while Kilsheelan will play Moyle Rovers or Aherlow
Waterford - The last group game is tonight. Then it's onto Quarter Finals. Looks to me like Stradbally, Kilrossanty, Clashmore/Kinsalebeg, Rathgormack, The Nire, An Rinn, Ballinacourty and Deuglan Naofa are into the last 8, but Ballinacourty and Gaultier are playing to determine Ballinacourty's final position in the group.

In front of 6,390 fans, they put decades of frustration behind them to come up trumps and in the process several players gave watching orchard county team boss Kieran McKeever a nudge that their credentials might be worth considering when he comes to naming his 2017 panel.

First time I'd watched Maghery in the flesh for over a year, looked like a totally different team, they used to be very hard on the eye imo, always overly defensive but Shane McConville seems to have added a new dimension, couple of the younger lads coming through really look top drawer as well.  Armagh now have 4 good solid Senior Club sides in Cross, Maghery, Cullyhanna & Harps.  Crossmaglen's years of cakewalking the County Championship are hopefully at an end, can only be good for the County as well.

Agreed. Hopefully that's the end of Cross for a few years. Yesterday's final was a breath of fresh air.

Clear gap between these 4 and the others. But competition is good for the clubs and the county.

Agreed. Hopefully that's the end of Cross for a few years. Yesterday's final was a breath of fresh air.

They haven't gone away, you know.

First Dublin quarter finals see wins for Castleknock and St Jude's - Kilmacud gone.

Who beat the AI champions, Dublin a highly competitive championship. You'd expect Vincents or Ballymun, who are in the other quarter finals tonight, to win it though.

It was only a few years ago Castleknock were playing Junior football.
