Is there no club hurling in Armagh or just nothing worth posting about?
<tumbleweed>
not enough clubs - poor standard. Underage doing ok.
but really in the bigger scheme of things until more clubs take on hurling and promote it properly then hurling in Armagh will always be small change.
Yes underage have had a decent year but will it translate to bigger things - no.
But great to see it being pushed on.

heard our beloved county minor manager told the players not to worry about roscommon last sat as they would beat them by at least 12pts and then proceeded to hold a tough trainin session the nite before the game in prep for the semifinal. talk about biting you in the ass rossies won by 4 with the armagh team dead on its feet in the 2nd half. info from 3 lads on the team. senior semi 1st weekend in sept i think mtown v cuchulainns

Not see the hurling in the thread title? Maybe if you posted about hurling in the thread it might spark some debate.
I used to post on this board a fair bit about hurling in armagh but a user called 'Mr Taylor' took offense to some minor criticisms i had of he county board structure so to avoid this ass from giving off again i hold comments to myself alhtough if applesisapples wants any info just pm me.

Hurling in the title but not in the content, typical of football counties only see the big ball. I was hoping to spark a bit of debate.
Does anyone know whos playing who in the Hurling Championship and at what venues?
armagh club hurling ( back of a stamp for the fixtures) semi-final middletown v cuchulainns, keady a bye to the final. big debate now.

real u know im not wrong i said keady in the final. unless u want to go with a calculator to see keady v lurgan when scoreboards only count goals to 9 take it from me keady are in the final. ps are u still net minding?
Sadly retired. You're probably right about the keady match, but the other semi will be tight. The Cuchulainns are coming into this game a lot quieter than last year when we had beat Middletown 5 times in the year and were probably favourates for the 1st time in a Championship match for 20 years. It didnt go our way and Middletown went on to win the title. They will be a tough opponent as usual but we will definately give them a run.

Have lurgan no chance?
When Lurgan arent even turning up for refixed league matches i wouldnt give them much chance of a performance against Keady
Who'll win the other tie? Middletown surely by a good bit?
I'd say bt at least 15 points in it to the County Champions

Close on 17 points out there Red.
What Happened Middletown Spirit?
spirit might have picked a wrong year to retire. Realistic what is the chances of a cuchulainns win, it must be 20 years from the last victory. now looking like a good decision for the boys not to commit to county hurling this year and concentrate on the club.? I heard the younger guys played well particularily the 2 duffys not surprising when u remember their dad.
good win for Cuhullains hopefully they'll go all the way nice to see a change. Keady struggled to beat lurgan from what I hear.
Great win for the city side. Hurling in Armagh is on the up.
Camlough vs Keady II in the Junior, there's a shock. Derrynoose must have been odds on this year with Lurgan in the senior.
what was the score in the SF? Good opportunity for Camlough.
Senior final is this Sunday in Cross of all places ???
Not exactly very convenient. Our match against the Clans is at 2. You'd be getting tight to even see the second half

In fairness Derrynoose had the beating of Keady in their semi-final which went to a replay,Keady managed to win the replayed game by a point with a last minute goal scored 4mins into inj time.
Camlough in the final should be no problem for the Keady boys as i think camlough are too reliant on bradley and cunningham although im sure they will make a good contest of it.

Derrynoose must be sick, been on the end of those types of results myself.
Anyone know what time the Hurling final takes place at today?
You'd think there'd be some information on the county web site.
3 30 Cross
Senior Final
Keady 0-13 Cuchulainns 0-9
Cuchulainns won the U16 final
Cuchullains had there for the taking, great defence but forwards didn't take their chances.

I ask cause i wondered who will represent armagh in the intermediate year then. I know keady will now play in the senior ulster leaving a spot free.

Are you sure about that ??? - I thought its just Keady in senior and Craobh Rua are in Intermediate. - i though u could only enter 3 teams if you have 3 competitions like in down (ards teams in senior, bredagh in inter, and clonduff in junior). - i'm not 100% but thats the way i though it worked.
BTW thanks for the 'report' on the junior final - u could get a job in the News Letter with extensive GAA reporting like that ;) :D
Camlough will go into the Ulster. In Tyrone they only have the one Competition, play a round robin and the top two teams go into the Senior Final and the 3rd and 4th teams go into the Junior final. The winners of the Senior Final go into the Ulster Intermediate and the Junior winners would go into the Ulster Junior (if Naomh Colmiclle win the Junior then the runners up represent Tyrone in the Ulster Junior as Naomh Colmcille won last years Ulster Junior). Are Cuchulains into the Intermediate by virtue of being the 2nd team in the County?

The reason Keady go into the Ulster senior is because they won the Ulster intermediate in 08 and must compete in senior for two years. They lost in the final to middletown last year and so Middletown played intermediate with Armagh having no representative in the Senior and Sean Treacy's played in the Junior. Second teams can't play Ulster hence the beaten finalists Camlough represent Armagh in the Junior ulster and as Keady are in Senior Cuchullains fly the intermediate flag.
as to my report on the Junior Final, Camlough tried hard but Keady just had the edge on the scoring front. Fiachra Bradley being their biggest scoring threat was pretty anonymous, for a number of reasons partly his own faillure to go looking ball, partly the poor ball being played in and partly Keady's tactics. Derrynoose should have beaten Keady in the semi, I don't know what happened there Michael Lennon didn't start and Nial McKee is a big loss to them as well. There appears to be a gap between Derrynoose, Lurgan and the rest in Division 2.
Going by that then, i'd say Cuchullains would have the best chance of the 3 to progress in ulster. i'd say keady wouldn't compete agains the like of antrim or down winners.
as to the junior final, i think camlough were always going to be relying on fiachra. also heard paul cunningham was injured, so they would have been up aginst it.
Regarding keady II / derrynoose, i though d'noose would have beat them too, but i'm also surprised m'town II didnt beat keady II.
From the limited hurling i see, i would have picked m'twn, d'noose & keady in that order to come through that side of the draw.
Are lurgan not still in div 1? or did they go straight back down again? - but yes, there would be a gap between them & d'noose and the like of c'lough and kileavy
Middletown II and Keady II drew and Middletown couldn't field in the replay for some reason. You would have expected Derrynoose to have won the Junior pretty easily this year with Lurgan playing Senior but wasn't to be. Keady II were no great shakes and it is a surprise that Derrynoose lost. As I said Michael Lennon did not start the replay I can only presume he was injured as he is a good player.

Did he not line out midfield, no. 9 - yellow helmet???
I personally felt derrynoose were unlucky (;)) to lose in the semi
No apparently not, so I'm told as I said we can only presume a player of his calibre must have been injured.
I heard coleraine have been NOMINATED in Derry to represent Derry at junior without even playing a championship match! Think thery are to play Armagh champs. Now they cant play because they are in senior football on same day and want match brought forward so that Mc Goldricks etc can play. Where else but Derry.

Two of the McGoldricks are committed hurlers with the club, a third can take it or leave it. The football club calls the shots though so they may be missing.

I dont know if they will play. That said the Mc Goldricks they are not the clubs best hurlers, although the best guys also play football, basically they have maybe 8 on football team who are on hurling team-most have Ulster medals for their county, if they play and I dont mean to be disrespectful Craobh Rua will get whipped badly. They dont have much in reserve outside the guys that play football-should have went for match on 3rd to be sure.

Other wee quirks to your lunacy - our nomination before playing a game... Derry has 2 lower tier clubs, Eoghan Rua and Na Magha. There are also 2 lower tier levels in GAA, intermediate and junior. So what do you know, each club gets nominated for Ulster before they play a cship match, same as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that....
'most have ulster county medals'... sean leo mcg and niall holly have ulster u21 medals. thats it.
'the mcgoldricks are not the clubs best hurlers'... more nonsense...
'They dont have much in reserve outside the guys that play football'... bang on the money, well done sir. this is true, we can struggle to field without them.

You sir, are an idiot.
Dual clubs rely on dual players, of which we have about 11.
There are not many teams, if any (especially in Ulster) who could field a full strength hurling team and a full strength football team on 2 consecutive days. Lavey (Derry reps in Ulsterhurling ) fielded 14 hurlers in their senior football match against Ballinderry.
Asking us to play an Ulster hurling match the day before we play in our first ever senior football final is not only unfair, but downright cruel.
Whoever sanctioned this obviously has no interest in furthering hurling in Derry or indeed Ulster.
As for why Na Magha were not nominated, both Na Magha and Coleraine take it year about to enter into the Ulster junior champ. This was our year.
Hard luck to our lads after today, beat by 3 points and from reports, a flukey goal is what won it for Camlough.

Whoever sanctioned this obviously has no interest in furthering hurling in Derry or indeed Ulster.
As for why Na Magha were not nominated, both Na Magha and Coleraine take it year about to enter into the Ulster junior champ. This was our year.
Hard luck to our lads after today, beat by 3 points and from reports, a flukey goal is what won it for Camlough.
I would argue that you are the idiot and once more a damn rude one. There has been two responses which I believe have eminated from Coleraine and they both have been abusive.This does not reflect well on you or your club, I have heard S Mc Goldrick speak and he is a gentleman so I am sure you are in the rude minority. Maybe you are not from Coleraine because I have never heard anyone there say "You Sir" Are you one of these wanabe Dungiven men who arent from there and think that to be part of the GAA you must stick sir on the end of everything? When could the Ulster Council have played the game ? Last week?No because you have said within your own couny that you couldnt play your own hurling championship because of Div 1 football and senior football c'ship. Could have played after Sunday I hear you say. The Ulster Council couldnt take a gamle on this in case you won football and then went into Ulster Senior Football and stopped guys playing hurling. As for Na Magah I cant comment on rotation thing, I dont know enough about that club, but what I was getting at was why didnt Derry nominate them to play intermediate.
Hard luck today, I am certain you would have won that competition with full complement but at the minute you are unfortunately a victim of your own success, but it cant be used to hold fixtures up for evryone else. I am not anti Coleraine at all, I just think that you are streteched a little and that this is making it hard for you and others
Congratulations to Camlough today. The better team on the day and they fully deserved their victory. Good clean game of hurling also. Great overhead pull by the full forward was the difference in the end.
FBNS, you have talked some amount of crap on here, its no wonder you got the response you did. Saying we 'get away with murder' in light of the circumstances our hurlers faced with this game especially. A strange comment indeed.
Well done to Camlough and Mr T!!

Is that it? You know I am right on most points and you havent got the humility to admit it. Give me a suggestion for when the Ulster Council could have changed the game to. Or are they loons,idiots crap talkers etc. You need to lay off the tipples
Who next for Camlough?
Coleraine or Camlough won't win this competition, it will probably be won by Ballybofey or Cloughmills.
As for the rotation thing, why doesn't Na Magha and Coleraine play-off each year in a 'Junior' final to get to represent the county in the Ulster. Alot of other counties do this kind of thing. Is there no reserve championship anymore in Derry that these two play in?
Common sense is not possible for county board, provincial boards are daft also. they only want to promote their own areas.
Coleraine would have been handy enough at that level. We were lucky last year, our runs in Ulster and the All Ireland didn't collide on the same day?

I think a full Coleraine side could have won this but there just didn't seem to be any way that could have happened with all they are were involved at this time. Not enough days in calender etc. I think there was a play off in Derry last year and Na Magha got into Ulster that way as they won. This year they didn't playoff, as a Coleraine poster said they brought in rotation instead. A full Coleraine team or Na Magah would have given this a good rattle based on results have I have seen in Ulster leagues,c'ships and domestic leagues over last couple of years.
As it stands Innisken will be very hard challenge for Camlough, they are Monaghan Senior champions, hate to admit this but Inniskeen will probably win. Mc Cumhaills/Cloughmills very hard to call, I think Cloughmills may squeeze through to meet Inniskeen in final. Couldn't call final
Somehow Keady beat Lavey 1-15 to 2-10 & are through to the Ulster final. Lavey totally shit the nest in the second half.

Unreal, well done to Keady!!
Fantastic result for Keady Lamb Dearg!
When's the last team there was a team from Armagh in the Ulster Senior Hurling Final?
I could be wrong, but I don't think there ever has been?
Great for hurling in the county.
did i hear correct that Cuchulainns got tanked today against C'more?
i left at HT and they were 1pt down and hurling well - what happened?
How did Craobh Rua do
Keady won by 2 pts, Cuchullains lost by 1 pt, Craobh Rua won (by 5 i think).
craobh rua beat by 4pts. 0.16-1.09
eire ogs carrickmore stuffed cuchullains 7-11 to 3-10 and only for a few mistakes they would never have had 3 goals, well done 2 keady on reaching senior final

I think you were sitting behind me, we actually came out and scored a goal to go 2 up after ht, the game was very tight up until the last ten minutes, the game turned on a strange refereeing decision. the Cuchulainns had a sideline on the 65 and took it too short, the ref blew it up and gave a FREE from the spot were the player received the short sideline, the free was dropped into the square and buried by carrickmore. In saying that the tyrone side were far more up for the fight and over the 60 minutes the better team and fully deserved their win and I hope they go on and win the final as they are an Armagh League team.
spirit does that mean the county final was a flash in the pan as keady would have tanked c,more im sure. big set back or a one off?
spirit just browsed the derry board there. i take it keady are in for some tanking now from loughgiel ? or is it just hard cheese.

A mixture of a few small problems added to the performance, missing goalkeeper and a couple of players played that werent fit but just a bad ten minutes saw carrickmore take the game, would agree with spirits assessment.
Good luck to Keady and Carrickmore in their respective finals.
what do the cuchulainns fellas think about going into the ulster champ after getting beat in the armagh champ?
from a camlough point of view i think we found it hard to get up for it after the disappointment of the armagh champ. ur heart just doesn't be in it for a week or 2.
i think if we were playing anyone other than a weakened coleraine team in the ulster 1/4 final we'd have got beat. it took us until half time in the iniskeen game to start playing again.
did u's find this too? or are we unmotivated hures!!?
PS: well done to Keady.

I don't think Keady would tank Carrickmore to be honest, wouldn't be much between them.

Agreed, Keady/carrickmore would be tight. A four point defeat in a county final a flash in the pan, what you on about.

Good luck to Keady on Sunday, if winker doesn't play or true to form gets the line, ye never know.
Keady getting beat 0-10 to 0-5 ht. Keady playing a lot better than I thought they would.
Think Keady are going to get beat. Now 1-21 to 0-6!
Shooting in match in the second half. Keady only scored one point. Final score Loughgiel 2-24 Kead 0-6!

think you got that one right harold. unfortunately the result most where expecting. would not be better seeding the antrim and down champions in opposite side of the draw to give a competitive ulster final and if keady happen to beat the down champs well then its fair play to them.
Big shock in the hurling last night, Sean Treacys beat Keady.

They did indeed win, but its Mc Cormack Cup so i wouldnt read too much into it although its good to see a different face in the final so long as it doesnt play out like last years cup final
Sean Treacys beat Middletown in the McCormack Cup Final last night.
Thats a bit of a shock. Was it a good game? I thought from other posts Middletown were going to walk it.
It was a good game, think there was 4 in it at the end.

I suppose when you look it that way it's a sign of improving standards in Armagh.
There's a serious lack of interest in Armagh Hurling on this site. How are all the leagues going? Who's winning what? Serious lack of Information from the County Board also.

Your right there... my working hours dictate the amount of games I go to which is zero for the year so far but there is no information on results or anything on internet from the county board. The cuchulianns do have a facebook page so I get their results handy enough but no other results or league tables

Just saw the Irish News. Football tables in full, any sign of the Hurling? Nah! Armagh CB should look with shame at the Antrim and Down websites.
Cuchulains site is pretty good too, but generally the information available is poor. 2 years ago the tables were in the Irish News on a Friday. In Division 2 so far the results that I know are:
Lisbellaw 9-16 Lisnaskea 1-4
Lisnaskea 1-15 Sean Tracey's 2-13
Naomh Colmcille 3-11 Lisbellaw 2-13
Sean Treacys 7-17 Naomh Colmcille 1-10
Castleblaney 1-13 Naomh Colmcille 2-13
I am not up to speed with the games involving Derrynoose.

ogshead cuchulainns seem to have went back this year after showing improvement in the last few years. looks bad that they have a number of lads who wer u16 last year now playing on the team. have they any chance in the championship?
No chance whatsoever - Although when the previously mentioned improvement of the previous years was happening you seemed to question such improvement at the time!! Strange
oh to be a hurling basher!!

I can't fault the effort of the people who are there. At least they're trying. I feel they missed a chance of the championship last year. The first half of the final killed them but they certainly pushed Keady in the second half. I haven't seen them this year yet so I can't pass any judgement... Real would know more about it than me.
As far as the underage is concerned... there has been a great effort put in by the management and I would hope than it has a positive effect on the Senior team when these boys are ready to through
Who won the Craobh Rua/Derrynoose Shield match, I think Killeavy won the other SF.

Has anyone any results from the league for Derrynoose?

Just looking at the Armagh GAA website to catch up on the club championship. I see at U15 there's a "North Armagh Hurling Club" that played against Keady in the U15 hurling league. Is this an amalgamated Lurgan/Portadown team for U15? Are they really that short of numbers at that age? I've seen Sean Treacy's stuff on FB recently and they seem to be in good shape at underage.

It's an amalgamation, numbers appear to be light in both clubs at underage. Football is very strong in that area.
As fasr as I can see about half of underage hurling fixtures on the Armagh website don't take place every week between postponements and concessions.
