ALL-IRELAND SFC ROUND 2B:

Injury and age hands impetus to Armagh, but are they hungry?

I watched from the bench as he gave a masterful display of fielding from midfield creating a platform for success only to be denied by wasteful shooting with 20 plus wides. From memory an anomalous amount was attributed to defenders and the midfield pairing of Jarlath and present day assistant manager Kieran McGeeney. Incidentally this team also included our best ever forward Oisín McConville but this wasn’t his greatest hour and an equal culprit in front of goal.

Previously, in 1989, the great Mark Grimley, brother to current manager Paul, again in Omagh against Tyrone destroyed a fancied Red Hand midfield pairing catching everything including, allegedly, John Lynch’s jaw in the tunnel at half time. Unfortunately this day Armagh were eight points up but again beaten by a single point.
