Armagh Club football & hurling

ARMAGH selector Donal Murtagh is confident that renowned fitness trainer Mike McGurn will remain with the Orchard County in 2011, despite reports linking him with Clare.

Former Ireland rugby team trainer McGurn served in an advisory capacity to Clare and Kilmurry-Ibrickane manager Micheal McDermott during the Banner County outfit's run to this year's All-Ireland Club final defeat against Antrim's St Gall's.

But the Crossmaglen Rangers man is mystified by the reports stating that McGurn, who will also train Anthony Tohill's International Rules team, is going to be part of Clare's set-up for next season.

"I was talking to (Armagh manager) Paddy O'Rourke at the weekend and he never mentioned a thing about Mike going to Clare. If that was the case, I'm sure that Paddy would have said something about it," Murtagh said.

"Mike lives in Belfast and with the distance involved in travelling, I'd say that working with Clare would be a non-runner for him. As far as I was aware, Mike was going to be with Armagh for a few years, and the only way I could see him being involved with Clare would be merely on an advisory basis."

Our National League fixtures for the year. 4 home games which should hopefully increase our chances of staying up if you ignore our pitiful record at the Atheltic Grounds in 2009. Trips to Cork, Mayo and them across the Newry Canal.

Would the games not be in the Athletic grounds - surely the work will be finished by then

The Dublin game is a Saturday night one. Since Cross doesn't have floodlights, I'd see that as an indication that the Athletic Grounds is expected to be open.

all games are going to be in the athletic grounds and the ground will be ready by the end of november. all future armagh games and clubs championship games from the new year will be in the athletic grounds to maximise income and attendances according to a county board source to a member of our club. offfical opening of the new stand and facilities will be on the night of the dublin game i would say.

robbies playing sat.sweet..up the f**king pats

there goes the theory that says only cross swing decisions with the county board. mc cooey should have been cited instead. pressure on pats now with cross missing their 2 main scoring threats due to suspension. ps what do st. pats have on the ccc ,suspensions overturned a few times now.

[DuffleKing]

I guess the only obligation cullyhanna had was to prove the innocence of tasker. it's the ccc's job to in turn cite McCooey surely?

[winsamsoon]

How did they prove the innocence of Tasker ?

[back off the net]

3 ref reports that where watching the game wheer sent into say that tasker done nothing more than a yellow card

[winsamsoon]

Fair enough then .

On another note what are the directions to callanbridge coming in from lurgan? do you head for the harps pitch?

- Coming in Portadown road at roundabout with Centra on far side, take left.
- Follow road on round past the top of the mall and stay in lane for Monaghan.
- Go past hotel and through set of lights
- Continue on straight pasing Athletic grounds below you to left
- At St Brigids school turn right, just before the spar shop
- 100+ yards down that road on your left after the pub

On Sat Nav look for Nursery Road, Armagh.
