Clearly were not at the game. They will rue missed opportunities tonight. Fair play to CE but to say Maghery are done is ridiculous and shows a lack of knowledge of the club game

Bull thinks every team is done after a defeat :D

Maghery’s attack just weren’t at the races tonight (second half anyway). CE hung in there and took their chances, so fair play.

not ridiculous at all S Forker,Cusack,Lavery are well in their 30s,A Forker isn't getting any younger,can you seriously see them challenging for the Armagh senior championship title without thos player's, it's not like Maghery have a big pile of young player's coming through

Aidan F would only be 28/29. Cross still have the Kernan’s, and they are still key men. They’d still be contenders in the next year or two

Game itself wasn't great, going on last year's game it was always going to be a tight affair. Game swung on one decision not to allow Maghery an advantage when almost certain to at the very least have a shot on goal. Ref blew it straight away and the free was subsequently missed. From then on CE had most of the momentum and probably just shaded it.

Clann Eireanns year methinks, there will be a newish name on the cup this year. Silverbridge, Cullyhanna and Ballymacnab have never won it, 1948 Killeavey won it, 1963 for CE. Only ourselves and Ogs have won it in modern times so it’s weighted heavily on a new/nearly new club to win it and I think it will be CE. You have to fancy them after they beat the champions and favourites. Their underage success is starting to count, as is Killeavey’s. I think the new champs come from either of those 2

In a tight game it was a huge mistake by the ref not to play the advantage. 90% goal chance which would have put Maghery 4 up.

Agree to an extent. Can see Killeavey getting the win tomorrow, but them to pip CE in the final.

And probably the only time all evening he didn't give an advantage. Jake is a really good ref, but I think he got that one wrong, although obviously he saw something we didn't.

As for the stream last night (and today to be honest) I have to say it was perfect.

JVC tele box, on the browser and zero issues.

Coverage was great and both sets of commentators did a great job. Only thing I found interesting today was that today Tigger kept talking about "Brexit land", yet on his Twitter he constantly bombards people who do that :D. I'm sure Crossmaglen folk loved their facilities described in that way!! :rolleyes:
