Tight but Cross still just too much for Burren to bear

IT WAS noteworthy just how Crossmaglen struggled to use their extra man when Ballinderry had Martin Harney sent off in the Ulster semi-final.

Critics claim it shows inflexibility on their part but few can doubt the Armagh side’s workrate and attacking flair.

Yes, they can mix it too and will fight fire with fire if required but they are an excellent outfit who will aim to hurt Burren from the outset, as they did last year.
