Cuchulainns easy winners today v Bredagh
Question;
what are Keady always deemed senior when the win the Armagh championship, yet Cuchulianns are in the intermediate?
Is it a club decision or a county board decision how you are graded or if you are previous intermediate winners?

Same with all the counties, if you win the provincial title at one level you go up to the next level when you win the County title again. Keady won the Ulster IHC a few years ago so have to go into the senior club championship now when they win Armagh (think this rule applies for 5 years). ame happened with Middletown until they won the Ulster IHC. Burt were still going into the junior until 2 years ago and this year Coalisland won the Tyrone title but couldn't go into Ulster as they had won the Ulster Junior a few years ago. Someone else went in as the Tyrones representatives in their place this year

Yeah 5 years seems to be the rule if you win Ulster, though its been more than 5 years since Keady won I'd asume
Aye, think they could go back into the Ulster IHC if they had won the Armagh Championship this year, wonder if they would have or would they have shown ambition. I remember Gort Na Mona won it a few times, dunno how they were allowed to re-enter though.

Yeah I think it changed as clubs were re- entering it. It makes sense though, if you win Ulster you should be entering your senior grade and at least give it a bash, we've had strange results since winning Ulster, beat handy the following year and then beat Dunloy in the senior championship only to lose by a point in injury time to Cushendall in the semi final, to getting hammered out of sight this year by Loughgiel, though they have hammered everyone else.
We'll stick to the senior championship for a while, as we are div 1 next season so better games and better prep for the senior championship. No doubt though we may drop back down a grade, yo yo club in hurling anyway

Surely of the Gorts won Ulster, they won Antrim and then would be playing in the antrim senior championship, unless they played senior one year and then dropped back down the following year where the 5 year rule kicks in.
So Lisbellaw are tied into the senior championship for 5 years..
Anyone know how the Creggan Kilclief game when in Downpatrick?
Creggan won by a point

I think they did play senior and drop down but since then the 5 year rule has came in. Lisbellaw have won both the Junior and Intermediate and can't see them not winning the Fermanagh senior anytime soon so they are in the Ulster senior for the next few years.

Our boys blew it JC. 8 points up at one stage. Missed a penalty and Creggan took the lead for the first time in the match in injury time! I still have no idea how we ended up in the JHC and Bredagh played IHC.
Did the fitness levels let those big lads in the forwards down?
Bredagh won the Ulster Junior championship last year and hence couldn't compete in it this year and as there's no intermediate championship in Down other than the yolk with Bredagh and the three Ards clubs reserves, Bredagh were straight into the Ulster Intermediate championship.
Maybe yourselves and Bredagh can fight it out for the Down intermediate championship next year..
Ulster Intermediate Hurling C'Ship
Armagh Cuchulainns 2-14 0-06 Iniskeen
E Rua Dungannon 0-27 4-17 Clooney Gaels AET
Cuchulainns (Armagh) V Clooney Gaels (Antrim) set for Celtic Park before the Senior final. However Craobh Rua (Armagh) v kickhams creggan (Antrim) set for Athletic Grounds on same day. I know the top brass probably want a good curtain raiser for the senior final, but surely these two games should have been at the same venue considering how easy that fixture could have been set, esp as the 4 clubs come from the same county.

Cant understand the logic of having Armagh and Clooney gaels travelling to Derry, and why should Camlough get a home tie for their final? Ballinderry and Clonoe at Celtic Park is the most confusing of the lot though.
Maybe a curtain raiser to the club finals? Make the Loughgiel boys play in both games to even things up.
THE Antrim and Down hurlers must wait to see when their Ulster SHC final will be played after the scheduled November 3 meeting was postponed. A statement from the Ulster Council confirmed the decision, althought they stressed that they still intend to play the fixture. "At last week's Comhairle Uladh CCC meeting the Ulster Senior Hurling Final between Aontroim and An Dún was discussed again," it read. "Following correspondence received from the Antrim GAA County Committee on the same day, Comhairle Uladh CCC decided not to proceed with the fixture of the final as previously planned for Sunday 3rd November.
"While it is extremely regrettable that we are unable to proceed with the fixture at this time, the CCC remain committed to playing the Ulster Senior Hurling Final in due course. "There will be no further comment on this matter at this time." - See more at: http://gaeliclife.com/2013/10/ulster-senior-hurling-final-postponed/#sthash.2Ciwhw82.dpuf

aye, since the rule change of ulster games having to be at the main county ground then this is what happens - 2 teams about 10 mile apart having to make 100 mile+ round trip - madness.
think of how many good grounds could have held this match- Screen, Glen, Bellaghy, Lavey, and if it was a Tyrone venue, coalisland, Edendork, Pomeroy instead of going to Omagh

Are you sure about this? Owenbeg isn't a main county ground.

All well and good while the sun shines and the weather is good. There was a lot of wemen and children at Celtic Park yesterday would have got some drenching if there was no seats/stand.
Are the games going to survive, the weather has been atrocious. I hope not. Really looking forward to the game now. Come on Cuchulainns

Some great photos, you ever caught me up with play 8)
My settings on flickr supposed to stop those who not on my friends list from downloading photos, but like everything there's way round them
If you want any particular photo and can't get it, let me know and I'll send it over to you
Some good pictures and some woeful technique on show there ???
Hope you not mean camera technique
If the hurling technique, they are minors (which some would say is no excuse I suppose) hurling in Armagh is the poor cousin to football with some telling me this was first time a Cuchulainn Team made an Ulster Senior Final at any level (again was told the norm for any team winning Armagh Hurling Championship is to go in at Intermediate level for Ulster)
The scoreline reflected this, although it was also affected by what I was told is the best Ruari Og minor team that many from their club (who can remember from previous years) have seen
Hopefully this will be a learning curve for Cuchulainn side and improved results bring more support for hurling in the county
If my informant was wrong I'm sure facts will be corrected by those who know.
