As posted in an earlier thread, the £1000 comes from the Hurling teams within the county. The reason being as of last year the Hurling Boards control was passed to the football board as there where 'technical difficulties' within the Hurling. It appears that the county board has decided that if the Hurlers are entering Senior Chmapionship, they must pay the fee as is the norm with the football teams.
So £8000 isnt actually alot in terms of extra revenue, only poroblem here is that sokme Hurling clubs will not be able to pay up simple as that.

Kernan: 2007 will be my final year


Armagh Senior football manager Joe Kernan has confirmed to Setanta Sports that 2007 will be his final year at the Orchard County helm.

The Crossmaglen man extended his stay for a sixth year in September but has now revealed that it will be his last stint in the hotseat.

Kernan led Armagh to a first ever All-Ireland title in 2002 before affecting a stranglehold on the Ulster Senior Football Championship, which has now seen them collect six provincial crowns in eight years.

"The one thing we know is that when we go Armagh will be left in good hands," said Kernan.

"There will be no need to go around looking for a new manager like in Mayo at the minute where everything is up in the air. You don't need that.

"We need to keep the ship steady and keep the players believing. Hopefully in 12 months, and I'd like to think it would be late in September that I step down."

The 1977 All-Ireland finalist also intimated that his new assistant manager John Rafferty will take the reins when he steps down next year. Rafferty, who steered Antrim side St Gall's to the AIB All-Ireland Club title, took over from Paul Grimley as Kernan's right-hand man two months ago.

"From what I've seen, and I knew him when he was a young lad playing for Armagh, I'm going to enjoy working with John over the next 12 months," added Kernan.

"Certainly my days as a manager are numbered because I always feel it's better to go before you're chased."

Team trainer John McCloskey will remain part of the county's backroom team for another year as Armagh look to secure a second-ever Sam Maguire Cup.
