Ard Mhacha v An Dún - Cluiche Ceannais Rionn 2 - Pairc an Chrócaigh 25/4/10

Armagh are well on top for my money.
Their foot-passing and shooting has been excellent.
First real time I've seen Clarke and other than his free-taking ability I'm not that impressed tbh.

Armagh definitely look the more composed and would seem to be well on top but it's not reflected on the scoreboard - it's still up for grabs and hopefully we'll get a good 2nd half. Benny hasn't really featured that much either.

Gearoid maybe fancies extra time in this one ?.

Down full back Mc Ardle is on a yellow now and is under pressure.

Armagh still holding the upper hand in terms of possession.

Lovely goal by Benny from a floated 45 into the square. Armagh 1 up now after Armagh dominating.

would you give Benny the goal, i thought he didn't get a touch at all.

Maybe so.


all to play for - that draw I mentioned earlier is still on.


Dan Gordon is rusty to say the least.



Down defenders are making it easy for Armagh to score both from play and from silly frees. Armagh's defence is standing them up and making them work hard for their scores.

Swift and Finnian have done rightly for armagh. McDonnell is back to his best but i reckon he needs to share the ball about a bit more, he just shoots on sight when there is men in better positions a lot of the time.  Marty Clarke rarely wastes a ball and his free taking is good but he needs to get more scores from play if he is going to really worry teams. Benny has been quiet but is still going to end up with about 1-3 from play. Strange enough game but Armagh have been the better side for 70% of the game.

is the match being shown online - in london

Good perforamce by Armagh.

Down were the architects of their own downfall. Carrying the ball into 3/4 Armagh defenders and turning over the ball.


Great win for Armagh.


Armagh and Paddy O'Rourke will be delighted.

Apart from Benny up front and Clarke's frees, it's hard to see Down getting many scores this summer.

Good result

Could only listen to it on the radio but seemed an exciting game, mcdonnell back to form

[ross4life]

Well done Armagh great game & great win

[JimStynes]

How many did stevie score and how many where from play?

[Highlander3]

Gordon did look rusty but great to see him back, we will need him in the Championship

Down men did carry the ball into 3/4 Armagh men way too many times.

Better team on the day won, thou we did have chances to win it.

I thought Marty Clarke played well, all out good attacks came thru him.

FB is still a worry for us

How many did stevie score and how many where from play?
