Thought the ladies deserved a thread of its own.

Just wanna wish the ladies the best of luck tomorrow in the Ulster final tomorrow against Donegal in Enniskillen. I’m lead to believe Armagh TV will be doing live commentary which is great to hear.

Not gonna lie, that was painful. Bizarre as it sounds Donegal not miles better than Armagh. Armagh created suicidal tactically

I’m starting to hate enniskillen.

We where out muscled all over the park. Them two goals Donegal got just before the half really killed us as we where in the game up until that. From listening to the captains speech it sounds like Donegal are training every night of the week from gym work to pitch work. I’d say there is an all Ireland in that Donegal team if they can sort out there discipline.

I actually think the opposite. When our girls ran at them they fouled consistently, yielding two sin bins and 3 penalties was it? They wernt pressed and looked much better than they are IMO. Whomever sent Armagh out to zonal mark can carry the lions share of the blame unfortunately. It didn't work and left Armagh all at sea. At one point when the game was still in the balance McCambridge had the opportunity to collect a ball, but clearly had been instructed to do a certain role of shackling Bonner, and bizarrely ran away from the ball back into her own 21 despite being the only player within 5 yards of the ball. Donegal scored from it. Was very perplexing to watch. In saying that from a players point of view they didn't execute the press too well, they allowed Donegal to carry the ball to the 21 before pressing which is why Donegal didn't miss all day. Had Armagh have went 15 on 15 and played Moriarty as a sweeper they'd have been within 4-5 pts of Donegal. Gut instinct tells me Donegal are more polished than Armagh but not the gulf that was on display

Best of luck to the Armagh ladies today in clones, hopefully they can put the Donegal game behind them and get back on track. The game is live on TG4 @12.30 if anyone is interested.

Hugely unlucky not to take all the points. Big Improvement though
Game should have been out of reach for Monaghan at half time. Unfortunately the penalty and the point Caroline missed at the end will be the only ones people will remember.

Aye Mackin (B) missed 2 great goal chances at the start and after 15mins wed kicked 4 wide and 1 short. Thats very costly
