I'm guessing 2nd year at St. Pat's off for the summer!
I presume you mean St Pat's training school or more likely Hydebank!!

Tickets are available at ticketmaster outlets for the main stand, they are no longer available on line as they wont have a kiosk at the game for collection of tickets.

The only surprise in the line up is the omission of Daniel McCartan, who did well in the replay against Tyrone and did fairly well against Ronan Clarke. I would expect some positional changes on Saturday.
to quote my mate john McEnroe
" You cannot be serious" Good club/college player, but never was nor will he be county standard

The CCC in this county are really taking the piss now by telling clubs to play a set of fixtures this week that were not scheduled to take place, like a lot of clubs our players organised holidays around these fixtures & now we are left to try & sort the whole mess out with the club that we are due to play.
Totally unacceptable in my opinion that this has been allowed to happen due to a mistake by one individual who thought the July holidays were a week earlier than they actually were ??? ??? ??? ???

Totally agree, the amount of hassle this has caused is unreal and the person in question should resign over it, these dates should have been kept even though the balls up was made.
I do not think resignation is the answer. What should happen is that culpability should be accepted and the fixture set re-arranged before it is too late. Read in the papers this am that half the Downpatrick team is away as is their manager and the holidays were all booked on the strength of the published fixture list. Players from all teams have probably booked holidays at the most expensive time of the year just to fit in around the GAA calendar.

it is a nightmare of a job and he's a good lad but clubs cannot be forced to play without players who booked their holidays in good faith when the fixtures came out. It is not a hanging offence and i am sure common sense will prevail.
Lets get over Sunday before we start planning supplementary competitions like Fermanagh

In all seriousness I was at Healy Park and Malachy Cush was brutal. It added absulutely nothing to the occasion.

was spot on about Hearty. Susceptible to shots, high balls, basically the ball coming in his direction etc. Thats one sure achilles heel in the Armagh rearguard.
