Wouldn't read too much into it at this stage. I'd expect Clann Eireann and Cross to turn it up a notch as the championship progresses. Could be a couple of banana skins for Cross though as they have to go through the play offs now.

Isn't this the All Ireland Club Championship thread not just Armagh?

Extra game probably not ideal, Cross should have too much for Sarsfields and Granemore. Not sure when Cross will play their refixture from the weekend though.

A match in Meath at the weekend with a period of play that looked more like rugby.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Ref has to take some of the blame here, there was a soft free early doors, and then in the ruck a clean pick up off the ground
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Surely the hop ball is his get out clause when it gets to that

The hop ball generally descends into another maul! look for the soft free and move on ;)

All-Ireland club thread should not be taking in general county club championship, simply keep to their own county thread

Fine, in which case we don't need a thread until October.

Sure the all ireland competitors have to come from somewhere.

Fairly unlikely anyone in Armagh makes a dent in Ulster this year bar maybe Forkhill at junior.

Clann Eireann would be decent at Ulster level if they get there and would obviously be great to see Cross get a good run in Ulster given what that clubs had to deal with this week.

Realistically Ulster will be going to Glen again though.

Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

I thought both teams looked decidedly ordinary in that game, might be early days with lots of room to improve. But on that showing neither team would count against the more serious contenders in Ulster.

Dingle v Dr Crokes in Kerry Senior club final Sunday, live on TG4 also. Should be a decent game.

Castlehaven are moving very well in Cork and will probably win the county there and be favourites to win Munster. Former Brigids manager Jerome Stack is coaching them. A rematch with Dingle in better conditions would be a great battle.
