[scout]

3 in a row chasing Gowna are gone in Cavan.

Both teams in the final are managed by Tyrone men.

Crosserlough and Ramor.

Both on Meath border fair commute for those men.

Who are the two men?

Who are the two men?

Archie Beatty and Ryan Daly who were over Carrickmore previously if I'm not mistaken, they are over Crosserlough.

And Jude and Pat McNabb are over Ramor.

Erne gaels beat Derrygonnelly.

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Derrygonnelly not the same side without the Jones.

Enniskillen beat Ederney by double figures.

Should win the final

[Dreadnought]

Clann Eireann just beat Crossmaglen in Armagh

[Harold Disgracey]

An all Lurgan Armagh final! Clann Éireann beat Cross 1-11 to 0-10.

Clann Eireann just beat Crossmaglen in Armagh

When Armagh people said to bet on Clann Éireann and not Cross we weren't joking.
Barry McCambridge showing his class.

It should be good for Armagh GAA. The GAA is to the fore in Lurgan , which is not true of many towns like it, look at the likes of Newry. But the kids in Lurgan are following both their many clubs and their county. The likes of Cross and Cullyhanna will continue to be strong.

I missed the match today but not in the slightest bit surprised. Not only are Clann Éireann a well-oiled machine, they're basically a super-club that would make some of the Dublin sides blush.

Cross haven't looked themselves at times this season and given the year they've had you can't really blame them. They'll regroup and be back next year no doubt.

Onwards to an all-Lurgan derby, and with St Paul's in the IFC final football in the town is a far cry from where it was 10/15 years ago.

Super club how? (genuine question)

[general_lee]

I think they're the biggest club in the county by membership.

They won this year's minor championship, they're in the SFC final, their second string reached the IFC semifinals, their ladies are LGFA SFC champions, their junior ladies reached the final as well. They also won the LGFA minor championship.

How does having their affairs in order and seemingly being a well run club to achieve that make them a super club like in Dublin? Are they getting on outside players, big managers etc?

They are "super" as in superlative. They are not like a Dublin club, many of whom have a population equivalent to that of Lurgan altogether, although in Lurgan 40% (?) of the population is anti Irish and there are multiple clubs.

[imtommygunn]

How many clubs are in Armagh city?

They've had outside players in the past. They've had outside managers in the past. They were coached last year by an outsider, not sure if this is still the case. Some of their best players' parents wouldn't be locals either. Of course none of these are pre-requisites for super-club status (imo). They're a big club with a big catchment area and they're well run as you say.

I'd say they have had as many outside players as any other club in Ireland.

Similar to the players parents point, where again a lot of people on any team will have a parent from another area.

On their catchment area, I wouldn't call it big whatsoever, especially in comparison with other town teams. Also, their catchment area also has a club from half a mile away competing for players too.
