Been a good while since I've been on this, any word of a round of fixtures tomorrow night lads?

killeavy won well against Eire Og.....strong performance from the Killeavy defence & keeper

Under 21 Football Championship Draw

Wednesday 6th May

Carrickcruppen v Maghery
Sarsfields v Harps
Killeavy v Eire Og
Ballymacnab v Keady
Tir na nOg v M'town
Cullyhannav v Silverbridge
St.Johns v Crossmaglen
Granemore v Mullaghbawn / Tullysarron

They were told that they wouldn't be competing as the standard would be too high to make it worthwhile. I think myself that the standard would be too high for them but after all, it's only a bit of craic and they would end up in Killeavy social having a drink like the rest of the teams. Don't think the Killean lads themselves are too happy.

Heard last night that Killean have been pulled out of the Killeavy Sevens tournament, word is the powers that be didn't think it would be appropriate.

For what its worth i think dromintee are a fair bit ahead of ogs

Is that a reflection of having seven (i think) county men?

True enough, I may have overstated things when you take into consideration how ogs and clans have gone down in the past, the point I was attempting to convey however was that in the county at present we have a big two, not a big four. Cross and Ogs are the strongest and best balanced teams and then you have a layer of good, solid teams such as Cullyhanna, Killeavy, Clans, Dromintee and indeed, Harps. I just wouldn't be putting Harps on a pedestal to be knocked off

You could draw parallels with Harps and Nottingham Forest or Leeds in England. Big clubs, great history....lower divisions now. They have no particular right to consider themselves to be 'top four' or certainly not to consider themselves superior to the likes of Cullyhanna or Killeavy. League tables don't lie and Harps were relegated, regardless of a decent Championship run.
