Armagh Club football & hurling

[IVEDECIDED]

Jamie Clarke did nothing for the first 2/3 of the game but what he did the rest of the time was the reason Cross won the game. Franny was your best player I thought he was in it from the start and when Clans took their foot off the pedal he capitalised big time and began to dominate allowing Jmaie to florish.

Obviously I totally disagree with illdecide on the referee. I know the incident that is prompting this when Jamie had the shirt pulled off him and nothing given (I was shocked at it too) but this was one incident in many. For a start it should have been impossible for anyone to pull his shirt unless they were doing it on the sideline!

On the whole he let the game flow and the incidents that are being talked about occured for both teams!

JAMIE DID NOTHIN BUT SCORED 2/6. dont worry the best team left is st. pats. as u said to me earlier if you dont take ur chances u dont win. ps i heard the ref was good in ur game who was he?

[flog the lot]

[thewanderer]

by the way ill ur mathematics isnt up to scratch. beat by 5/6.  3/19 to 2/14 who wer clans best players. harps would be that strong this year

I said he did nothing for 2/3 then ran the show! Think the refs name was Devlin. And your right if you dont take your chances you dont win - im not complaining im just saying it was very unlucky.

However im very heartened by the performance of several of the players. At the end of the day its not the end of the world if you dont win the U21 championship (Easily the least prioritized competition) I saw enough of some players last night to suggest a distinguished senior career and that my friends is what it is all about!!

By the way Im nealry certain that score is wrong - I believe there was 3 in it then clarke scored a goal leaving it cross by 6.

There was 8 in saan...Cross scored 1-02 in the last minute of extra time...But as you say i seen enough last night too to say that we can get a good few of them lads into senior and be good enough to keep us in the top level. the clans full back line are all still minor and i'd be fairly certain majority of that team have another few years at U21 level

On the game last night. Yes the clans should have been well in front at half time and yes they completely quit after scoring their second goal and going seven points up. I also thought the cross were robbed by the ref with a number of obvious fouls not being called.

The clans had a number of very good performance all over the pitch but seemed to be dead on their feet with ten or so mins left. Only looked to be one winner. There is a ruthlessness that our teams need to learn

Jamie Clarke was excellent and rarely missed a kick. Very hard to mark. I cannot comment on the incident where he got a yellow as I didn't see what happened. Others around me said he should have went and the ref bottled it...

We play Cruppin on sunday (re-fixture from the game Austin broke the jaw) although if the times suit i could be persuaded to go

Lads just to remind you that i run a poker night once a month and next Friday night is that time of the month again (fri 28th May). It's £20 in with an option of one re-buy/top up for £10. We are getting in and around 40 to the poker, roughly 50% of that crowd are not clan na gael men. We have a few lads from Dromintee who attend and another few from other clubs around the county. We pay out all the money lifted (usually around £1000) and have started to have food ready for the break, it's played on proper poker tables with good cards (at £7.50 a deck they should be) as well as a digital timer on the wall telling you what the blinds are and when they go up and what they're going up to.

All in all it's run well with the best of gear and big money up for grabs, everyone is welcome and if you're genuinely interested drop me a PM and I'll give you more details...the more that turns up the more is paid out

Cross 3-11 St Pat's 1-10

The scoreline is a poor reflection of how even the match was in general play. We were only 2 points behind with 5 minutes to go but Cross werre clinical and got 1-3 in 3 or 4 minutes to win the match. They were just that little bit more clinical in front of goal through the match. Good performance from St Pat's though - arguably our best of the year.

Clans beat Sarsfields by about six. Clans got late goal and a point.
