finnerty  is such a classy footballer from an Armagh point of view it was a blessing that he was injured in 2024 because Galway were winning it if he had been fit .

Super game of football.

Finnerty and Murnin put on exhibitions.

Galway had no right to win that game but somehow kind of

For Monday, you sir need to write an essay of no less than 500 words explaining the last sentence, aye.

Galway deserved it for their belief. Even though they were generally outplayed across the field, they chased and harried every Armagh attempt for a score, forcing mistakes aplenty, while kicked their own with conviction.

Draw Woukd have been a fair result
The Infringement 3/2 was a shocking decision  by officials which will have consequences and a game changer as such
Will be interesting what is said about it .
Overall decent game

I'm not going to trawl this entire thread and this may have been pointed out already, but not only do Allianz sponsor the National Leagues they are also the company the GAA has everything insured with.

This doesn't make it right and for me the GAA really need to start looking for a new insurance company as well as league sponsors.

Reality the gaa struggle to get blanket  insurance cover for clubs
It's not that attractive .

Armagh x4
Mayo x5
Donegal x5
Roscommon x6

Great win for the Abbey tonight!!

Saw abbey a few times and fancied them to go far.
Great result !

Good for Armagh to get up and running with a win and comfortable one at that however conceding 0-18 to such a patched up Monaghan team is a slight concern.

Who replaced mc Kay
And have we any news on him ?

Monaghan v Armagh - Armagh by 4
Kerry v Roscommon - Kerry by 6
Dublin  v Donegal - Dublin by 4
Galway v Mayo - Galway by 4

Jaysus thats a light bench bar Duffy and McQuillan.

Mc carthy not a bad option and would have started him
Crealey training so might see him added
It is what it is
Talk of game being moved to blayney or iniskeen if weather persists

Considering the Abbey takes its colours from the Down county colours, it is fair to say it is a Down institution.

St Colman's similarly another Down institution.

Of course, goes without saying that both accommodate for those who come to them from the Armagh side of the Clanrye.

Interesting splash
Abbey play in red black and amber
Down play in red and black
Armaghs original colours up to the junior all Ireland  1926 were black and amber
So I think you will find that the abbey take its colours from the original county colours of both counties

Usual debate about whether Abbey CBS are an Armagh or Down school?

I call it a newry school which is mixed
When I was there  even in the 80s my MacRory team was 50/50 Armagh v down .
Actually marked a mate when Armagh were playing down in the minor league .
We kicked living hell out of each other then went to cupids that night .
Great times .

Thursday 22nd
Omagh CBS V Abbey CBS
Stewartstown 7:00

Friday 23rd
St Pats Dungannon V Abbey VS
Fintona 7:00

Thought Armagh would have been a fair venue for the Omagh game
It's a fair  distance for both schools to go to stewartstown
Think abbey cbs / abbey vs final

Palestine Action hunger striker is on her 71st day now.... Disgusting that the Labour government is allowing those people to die.

British government aren't backing down whether they be tories or labour
We know this all too well.

[Ah 2006]

When was the last time abbey won the macrory? I don't ever mind them winning though could have missed it.

[Edit] Ah 2006. Didn't think they'd won it this century.

I assume this was the year Kevin Dyas was flying for them.

Kevin Dyas and McKernan where the main men on that side. Marty Clarke put on some display for Kilkeel in the Macrory Final that year, Abbey got a goal with last kick to win game. 

they won the hogan that year
if i recall it was a textbook block by the st louis corner back that diverted a shot which was going wide into the net in the final
marty clarke give an exhibition that day

Who is favoured this weekend? Abbey VS, Omagh, Maghera, Academy?

Think abbey cbs will beat Maghera
Decent side

Thought they would win
This is a decent abbey  team
