Haven’t seen much of Ballymacnab. Only their game against Clann Eireann in Lurgan. They looked decent but nowhere near the level cross have been at the last two games

Because the two semi-finals were polar opposites in the style of football played by both teams in the respective games it's not as easy and straight forward as usual.
Yes Crossmaglen played a fast stylish game in their semi-final and were definitely much more physical than Ballymacnab had to be in their game, but the 'nab have also some tidy fast footballers capable of scoring from angles and distance.
On balance I'm coming down on the side of Crossmaglen. Mainly just because I think they have a bit more experience in the team especially at this level, but I don't see a trouncing. Just experience to see them not panic and nip it in the end.
However (and not hedging bets as I do believe Cross will win) if Ballymacnab were county champions I'd have no hesitation in following them in their game in Ulster. That's not a slur, just most likely that the celebrations would still be going on a few days after the quarter-final. Now that, I could not begrudge them in that position.

I think it will be close but I fancy Cross will nab the win. On the other hand, maybe Nab will win the Cross?

I fancy cross to win with 4 or 5 points to spare. Having watched the nab on a few occasions I feel they are a very decent team, but as said earlier Cross are playing their foootball at a much higher level at the moment. I don't think the nab have the physicality to match cross and if they play the same gameplan on sunday, they will be gobbeled up in the tackle.
If they are to have any chance at all, they need their marque front 3 to have the game of their lives.... route one on sunday might be the best approach... good luck to both teams

Hard to disagree.
As I drew cross in sweep I will say
" Come on Cross "
That shall not be repeated in Armagh championship by me again.

Sunday is a big opportunity for Ballymacnab, they will have to pull out all the stops to win and their forward line will have to be a lot more
clinical than they have been in the last 2 games. Cross will be in the game to the end and their bench may just be the difference. Rumour mill is in full swing with significant injuries to important players from both sides apparently. Sure it wouldn't a county final without a few rumours and moon boots !
