Be surprised if that was the actual starting team, but if it is best of luck to them. It will be a tough test.

Surprised to see McKeever not start. Other than that the team looks about right apart from a few positional changes. I'd be worried about O'Reilly at midfield but if that's our only option I suppose we could do worse.

Few odd calls but I suppose we aren't seeing who is doing well and who isn't in training. Fergal Flanagan is probably getting the job of tracking kernan. Golden an in for keeper is a big call given that its his debut but I hope he does himself justice. I would have liked to see Barry Reilly start but Jack gets the nod over him and Martin Reilly. Very hard on Martin who has bust his arose in every game this year. Anyway good luck to them, its a squad game and we've some quality on the bench.

There is a possibility that Damien reilly will go wing back, ronan Flanagan corner back and Killian Clarke midfield?

beer baron · May 14, 2013, 11:28:55 PM

I'd say there's plenty of different possibilities,Mc Enroe go full back,Clarke Midfield and Damien Reilly half back. Is Dunne even fit?Heard a week or 2 back he was injured?

Need more from the other forwards on Sunday. Last year against Donegal, it was mainly keating. Dunne wasn't involved that day and McDermott came on as a sub. This will be Dunnes first Championship game if he is fit.

Clarke will probably play in the middle, played the whole game there against Meath. He doesn't look the strongest for Senior yet, another year u21, but may be proved wrong on Sunday.

A lot?? Such as who?

See tipp beat cork in minor championship tonight think our lads had a good workout against Tipp recently so hope it stands to them on Sunday. Big big ask for the seniors hope we can get something out of it, we seem to have injury problems but Armagh have plenty to complain about on that front also .

Does anybody know what Conor Gilsenans club situation is? I understand he hasn't togged out for the Shamrocks a whole lot and was trying to transfer out to Killinkere, not ideal. Understand O Mara hasn't been seen around Saint Annes Park much either. Strange.

rodney trotter · May 15, 2013, 10:15:59 PM

Gilsenan was in nets 2 weeks ago for a League game. Remember reading the report in the Celt, think it was his first game for Bailieborough this year

I was told by a fellow supporter at the Meath match that he tried to transfer and a objection by Drumalee (who were trying to stop another transfer) stopped it. Killeshandra played Bailieboro earlier in the league and neither of the O Mara's or Gilsenan were in goals. Seems strange but maybe there is a reason.

Anglo, how did the minors get on against Tipp. I'm really hoping they can prove their doubters wrong and put their mixed form behind them

anglocelt39 · May 16, 2013, 07:55:29 AM

Don't know how they got on against Tipp except to hear a second hand report that they lost by 3 points. Tipp have put in a serious amount of work at Under 15, 16, 17 and minor over the past several years and any team that beats cork at minor level would have to be useful.

That is very strange as transfers are decided by the CCC and only a club involved can object as far as i know. Aren't killinkere and Baileboro neighbouring parish or even same parish? , that should have been automatic as far as i know.

Wasn't the great Jim Smith from Killinkere? What happened to the genes?
