Armagh next steps

[rrhf]

If I was an Armagh man, Mc Geeney deserves another term..He has helped make Armagh punch and kick above their own weight...

Shite is a bit OTT, apply those same standards to Armagh club football and what would you have? Clonoe would undoubtedly be competitive in the Armagh SFC, no matter their current status. Na Fianna are a strong senior side, recent Tyrone championships show that. The 'shiteness' increases as you move further away from the island no doubt, due to too many clubs among sparse populations.

Apply the same principle in Armagh - too many clubs and too many small clubs. If you cross the blackwater into Armagh you have an array of clubs (maybe not as concentrated) but all small clubs in a staunchly unionist part of the county. With the exception of Maghery all junior/lower intermediate standard.

Is that whole area not packed with houses?

Good road network for workers in Belfast, Dungannon and Cookstown.

Dunno tbh, a very Flaggy area in parts too, I don't know where Killyman get the fenians from to play. They're likely competing with Clonmore just over the county boundary for players too. Maghery only a few miles away too.

See we won the Buncrana Cup (U16 A) and the U15 version as well today, think it was the A comp. Not too shabby, maybe things are looking up at underage.

[DuffleKing]

Good to have a couple of signs of life for sure though not sure how indicative of future success those would be. The u15s wouldn't be top level competition.

[North Man]

It's a great competition and a superb springboard for minor football.
I remember Derry winning it in 2001 and 6 players started in the 2002 winning minor team.

[Captain Obvious]

Long overdue underage structures in place after years of neglect.

In terms of GAA clubs in flaggy areas, Mullabrack beside Markethill and St Pauls in Holywood must be near the top.

Why does it matter. Anyway I want to read about how Armagh are gonna win another All Ireland.

They should write another song for getting to the Ulster Semi final.

I would argue we should go the other way, bring all the GAA threads back into the main forum. Given the drop-off in volume at the board it might be better to give visibility to the threads in the local and hurling sub-forums. The local threads often have subjects that would interest people in other counties (club amalgamations, reserve teams, underage setup)
