Wasn't there but I assume the 2 corner forwards were Rafferty of Granemore and Stevenson of Sarsfields

Was at the match tonight in Newry . Quite a big crowd particularly from Armagh, but Newry as a venue on a Saturady evening must be questioned . The queue going into Newry was terrible. Many of the crowd arrived late . There were little or no programmes so I find it difficult to name the team. No-one around me had one and I went to three different places looking for some but there weren't to be found. It was a fiver in so I suppose that wasn't to bad. As for the game itself Armagh won out comfortably enough at the end but they had to endure a fifteen minute fright in the second half where they went from eight points up to leading by two with ten minutes to go. Monaghan scored their goal and at the same time Peter Carragher was carried of. Things didnt look good but they introduced a sub number twenty . Conlon I think was his name and he definetly made a difference . showed well for the ball and as time ran out for Monaghan should have been beaten by more. To be fair had Monaghan kicked the ball in high to their full forward more often or indeed even kicked the ball more often well we might have had a different story. Time and time again good tackiling by Armagh particularly in the first half turned possesion . Monaghan insisted on short passing and paid dearly. Armagh's forwards were dangerous and Paul McGeown alongside his clubman Collie stevenson were a constabnt thorn in The Monaghan defence . Monaghan were physically bigger but armagh had the more skilful players . Number 15 for Armagh had an excellent game . Maybe some one can help me with the name . Niall McConville played quite well and Barry Seeley hit three or four good points from Frees. McGewon I thought also did quite well when moved out to midfield. A word of praise for the referee, he let the game flow quite a bit and blew up the hand pass only three times throughout the game . Thought he was fairly even to both teams . The handling by both teams was quite poor and there were quite a few unforced errors and Armagh gave the ball away needlessly a few times . With 7 or eight minutes to go things didnt look good but the sign of a good team is how you react to these challenges and I must say they stood up well . Carragher and his partner made some excellent catches . I was disappointed with Aidan forker at number 11 . I rate him very highly and he just wasn't really in the game. Number 2 McCaughley I think was excellent as was Mattie Mc Neice in goals . Overall this is a reasonably good team and there is every chance of retaining Ulster . I am sorry I dont have the team line out . Treanor came on as a sub and did quite well. Forwards win matches and I thought the workrate from them in particular was excellent. A very workmanlike performance I would say . If they can play for a full sixty minutes they will take a bit of stopping. Well done lads

Number 20 was Ryan Conlon from Cross.

Number 15 was Rafferty from Granemore.

[Down South]

Result: Donegal 0-12 2-10 Down

[Highlander3]

Down South, good result for us, do you know who scored ?

[omagh_gael]

According to BBC ulster a lot of the scores came from jerome Johnstone, young mc cartan and o'hare with 9 of Donegal points coming from mc brearty.

[Highlander3]

I would guess this will be a pretty tight minor game in 3 weeks time, i think that now that Down have there full team back, that they will give Tyrone a run for it

[Highlander3]

I had heard that S McCartan was going off to play soccer is he actually going or is it only being talked about?

[Down South]

He is going to Burnley. Deal done.

[Highlander3]

Thats a pity, have not seen him play much, but from what i heard he could be very good

Any word on this evening's game?

[FermGael]

Cavan won on a scoreline of 2-15 to 1-10.
Was a closer game than the scoreline suggets.
Fermanagh were only a point behind until the last 15 when Cavan pulled away.
Some great scores taken from both teams. 

[Orior]

Apols if this was answered before, but why all the strange dates for the minors? Whats wrong with preceeding the seniors?
