McConville fails fitness test for semi-final clash

OISÍN McCONVILLE is out of the Armagh team for next Sunday’s Allianz NFL semi-final against Laois at Croke Park.

The Crossmaglen Allstar, and one of the most mercurial wing forward’s in the game, failed a fitness test on a damaged hamstring last night and was ruled out of the equation.

Likewise, the exciting Ronan Clarke failed to make the starting fifteen, after his period of recuperation following surgery on his hip, was not deemed to be sufficient.
