Armagh Club football & hurling

[pearseog]

Pearse Ogs 1-13
Dromintee 1-5

I think that was the final score anyway

tommy powell was workin wonders with the scoreboard.  think it might have been 1-12 to 1-5.
ogs looked very strong going forward until ronan clarke got an injury which i thought would force him to come off but he played most of the 60 mins without doin too much else. he played a wonderfull ball into conor clarke ealry in the game before 'shorty' dummied the goalie and lashed into the empty net. a brilliant ogs move in the 2nd half resulted in a fantastic delicate score from sean moore. other main talking point was jp donnellys sending off after the dromintee penalty incident. the tackle didn't deserve a yellow never mind a straight red so i presume there was some mouthing involved on jp's part.
all in all a good result for the ogs and hopefully a good league campaign is in store.

Did I read that right above that Clarke didn't do too much. He won every ball that came near him and there was either a score or free won every time. There was very little waste. All in all I thouht that it was a good performance by the Ogs and Dromintee don't look much of a team without the O Rourkes. They could struggle this year if their playing a lot of games without them. It was good though that the Ogs have their first win

I would have to say I thought Ronan Clarke was not one of your best forwards and the Dromintee full back did very well on him. He may have collected most balls that were put in front of him because obviously the full back wasn't going to risk going 50/50 and leaving the space in behind for him to be one on one with the keeper.

However there wasn't as much end product from his possession as you would expect from supposedly one of the country's best forwards.

As for Dromintee struggling without the O'Rourkes, as Corn says there were more players missing than the O'Rourkes (Mícheál was also playing by the way) but I feel we had enough quality still to get something yesterday. We have a very large squad this year with a lot of young lads still settling in. If we had have tightened up yesterday tactically, we would have been closer.

All round we were beaten by a very strong Ogs performance on the day.

I did not say that Clarke was the best forward, I said that he collected everything that came near him and he scored a few and got frees. It was in response to someone saying that he didn't do much, he set up the goal with a through ball and almost set up another with a similar pass as well so he was very influencial

Did not realise that there was more missing than the O'Roukes so I apologise for that remark was just expecting a tough hard hitting match but it didn't materialise so was just disappointed in that respect

clarke was brilliant before he got the knock. what i was saying was that he wasn't as effective after the incident just before half time

I wouldn't agree that Clark was 'brilliant' before the knock. And the knock I don't think was the reason for a below par performance by his standards. I thought he was marked very well.

Yes the game did lack any hard-hitting on our part.

[IVEDECIDED]

If you had a fiver for everytime you licked the ass of a cross man you could get a week on the moon!! Is there anyone from cross you arent riding?

If i had a £5er for every tackle you pulled out of saan i'd be sitting in the house instead of work. I don't lick anyones ass saan and as for riding some from Cross, i wouldn't rule it out as long as she's half decent looking and not stinking of diesel i'd give her a rattle...Just remember saan before you come here slabbering i'm not the one who gets taxi's up to Crossmaglen to help them celebrate winning a cup and buying their whole club drink...

P.S. take it out of that...

Sounds like I hit a nerve here!! You obviously dont know me if you think id buy anyone drink nevermind a whole bar!!

[fitzroyalty]

U21FC tomorrow night, who would be the favourites? Obviously Cross will be there or thereabouts, is it a case of the usual suspects? Cruppen, Killeavy, Dromintee etc?

[winsamsoon]

I was told that the Cross v Clans game was to be on friday night. Can anyone confirm this???

[DownFanatic]

Who are involved in the Cavanakill, St Brigids and St Johns amalgamations?

[anportmorforjfc]

St Johns is Annaghmore, Clonmore and Collegeland.

[cillsleibhe]

Cavankill Emmets are made up from Belleek, St. Michael's Newtownhamilton and Dorsey Emmets

[cillsleibhe]

St. Brigid's I think are mainly Whitecross.  Clady, Lissummon and O'Hanlon's Poyntzpass may also provide players.

what did he do wrong before the knock? he won every ball despite the full back dragging him every time he made a run. he scored two points with his left foot and also provided two goal opportunities for conor clarke and jp donnelly (one of which was taken by conor) and also won two frees (the second one he couldn't take as he got the knock in the foul). i think thats pretty good in 25 mins of football.

Looking like the clans game will now be on saturday at 6. Our lads will now have to leave a wedding that has been planned all year just because the cross were not willing to accomodate us on the friday evening. Oh it must be said they did offer to play it on the sunday morning at 12 So BC i don't think you have done anything for the tramps as you put it. But wee apples and all that.
