Quote from: DaleCooper on December 18, 2025, 11:29:26 AMAs a Tyronian I roared Niall clipped over the point after ref played advantage. Incredible moment in that game.
Ah it was special.

Could have choked him when he hit the post near the death though!!

Was that not Oisin O'Neill after a layoff from Grimley?

The thing that struck me about Grimleys point was that it was a mark as well (which is what I think the great advantage signalled by Hurson was for, a tackle within a yard of the mark) but Grimley ploughed on and took on the difficult shot on the run.

He will be missed next year. Particularly as I think Armagh will struggle greatly.

Stefan Campbell, Jemar Hall, Mark Shields O'Hanlan and Roland all lost to retirement, while Rory Grugan, Aidan Forker, Ben Crealey, Niall Grimley, Barry McCambridge and Connaire Mackin will all miss all or nearly all of at least the league for different reasons.

That coupled with a tough Ulster draw I think will probably see the end of a very good team

Almost sure it was Grimley, then they go up the field and Joe makes that block.

Yeah it's a shame we're losing so many this year, but hopefully we can get but O'Neills fit and available all year, plus Ciaran Mackin and Aaron McKay coming back were massive losses and will be some help if they're back fit.
Conor O'Neill would be another welcome returner.

Don't remember Grimley shooting on the run. He turned and walloped it.

Yeah he got a great long ball from I think Oisin O'Neill, the Galway man was trying to tackle him but it would have been a mark, he turned and swung a great point from distance.

You're definitely wrong on the first point and hopefully wrong on the second.

Shows you how the mind plays tricks. From that day I had thought that was O'Neill but despite watching it hundreds of times since I never really checked it again.

I too hope I'm wrong on the second part

He won the ball got tackled, turned and took a few steps round another defender. I'd call that on the run but I can see why some might not.

Watched it now. It was Grimley after a lay off from Conaty who had got it off Murnin. Always thought that was Oisin O'Neill. Now I want to know what he was doing coming out from full forward at that time of the game.
