Railway cup returns!

[Orchardman]

I'd say there is a good chance of anyone of those playing on saturday of being able to play again on sunday. Sure it's a day out in croker for them. What happened micky murphy, was he just being rested? think he named in the squad

Probably two Sigerson matches on Friday/Saturday coming up, I doubt anyone but the most rabid Ulster Inter-Provincial supporter can blame him from excusing himself on second thoughts.

Of course not, he and everyone else knew he would be playing in the sigerson next weekend sure.

Would have been chosen before DCU even made the semis - maybe he agreed conditionally, didn't want to appear presumptuous, etc. The most obvious reason would be that on top of that he may have had some sort of twinge or minor injury and they didn't want to risk him after him playing mid-week.

A different scenario here but Cathal Cregg was named in the Connacht team but didn't feature, he was chosen after he'd been injured against Fermanagh but that didn't stop him being named.

I'm surprised a lot of Sigerson-tied players don't opt out of the inter-pros voluntarily, honestly.

Hurling Link, can't see a thread on Railway Cup in hurling pages, which sums up how the competition has been ignored and brought low since I used to go to Croke Park to watch the double header semi finals two great days out.

Ulster 4/5 with PP.. serious odds esp with Kernan & Jamie Clarke included

[Captain Obvious]

Two games in two days for the Armagh players?

[rodney trotter]

Surprised David Giveny is starting. Sigerson semi on Friday and a possible final on Saturday.
Still a great opportunity for him to play in Croke Park.

I doubt Kernan & Clarke will start for Armagh on sat. Would be unfair on the lads originally named

[T Fearon]

Is it not bordering on outrageous if Kernan and Clarke miss the Armagh game on Saturday night but play for Ulster on Sunday? It would mean that playing for their county now ranks third on their list of priorities.ftp://

[rodney trotter]

Is it that outrageous though, Armagh have named the same side that was suppose to play Wexford 2 weeks ago. Grimley said earlier in the week, that the Cross players would be given a few weeks break from County football.

[T Fearon]

He said he wouldn't pressure them to comeback too quickly but am sure he wouldn't have turned any if them away if they had indicated they wanted to be involved this weekend.County football is evidently third on the list of priorities in Crossmaglen

It's a strange one indeed, T.

Maybe their inclusion is to gather more supporters in Croke Park on Sunday?

Is it not verging on outrageous if Kernan and Clarke miss the Armagh game on Saturday night but play for Ulster on Sunday? It would mean that playing for their county now ranks third on their list of priorities.

That would be pure class if it happens.
Pure class.

It appears to be Paul Grimley's decision not to play the Cross players.  It is not the players themselves in fairness Tony.  I think Grimley's decision is odd myself and Kernan is right to play the best players available to him.
