After Ciaran McFaul buried the winning penalty in an Oscar-worthy Ulster final, a number of Armagh players collapsed to the Clones sod in devastation. Who can blame them really – this […]
Derry’s win over Armagh brought the curtain down on another Ulster Senior Football Championship. Michael McMullan cast his eyes over the key players in his Team of the Year selection. 1 – Odhrán Lynch (Derry) LITTLE to choose between him and Ethan Rafferty but saving three penalties in a shoot-out is something Lynch, Derry folk or […]
Compiled by Michael McMullan HOT SHOTS DERRY – Shane McGuigan McGUIGAN has bagged over a third of Derry’s scores this season and is getting even more comfortable turning onto his right side to leave defenders guessing.

ULSTER CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINAL Armagh v Down Sunday, Clones, 4pm By Niall Gartland THEY say that a week is a long time in politics and the very same maxim could be applied to the dog-eat-dog world of inter-county football. It wasn’t long ago that Armagh were being written off as a contender to the big prizes […]
KIERAN McGeeney has named an unchanged starting team for this weekend’s semi-final showdown with rivals Down. The same 15 that overcame Cavan in the Ulster Championship quarter-final will line out in Clones on Sunday afternoon.

Ulster Championship quarter-final Cavan v Armagh Saturday, Kingspan Breffni, 6.30pm By Niall Gartland Advertisement IF you believe the bookies, this should be an Armagh victory all day long.
