PADDY HEANEY: Trawl for talent or stay up — a catch 22 league scenario

Last week, a friend from Armagh challenged me to a bet after he took grave exception to an article I wrote about his native county football team.

My friend’s ire was raised by a piece in which I tried to predict how Armagh would fare in this year’s Division Two.

My forecast wasn’t sunny. I concluded that while relegation was a possibility, the Orchard County would probably finish in mid-table. I also suggested this would be a fairly decent outcome.
