Championship 2023

I think theres a big difference in quality in the 2 championships, craobh rua won 2 juniors in a row and have had thier fair share of heavy losses since they went up, i think that shows just how big the gap is. Hopefully the junior teams can lift thier standards of the next few years to try and close that gap. Definitely need an intermediate championship but unfortunately theres just not enough teams.Sean Treacey's should not be allowed to yoyo between junior and senior and even stay at junior when they win it. Where is the fairness of that?
could put Derrynoose in that same bracket but they don't seem to want to go down. Ever since they won the junior in 2017/18 (not sure) they have played senior and not won a game yet.I think theres a big difference in quality in the 2 championships, craobh rua won 2 juniors in a row and have had thier fair share of heavy losses since they went up, i think that shows just how big the gap is.

I don’t mind the round robin but make it a straight top 2 final instead. Means more on the group games and if the bigger clubs slip up.
These games are just formalities..Sean Treacys too strong for junior but afraid to play senior, Keady will walk senior, Middletown's dominance is over. I don't think the round robin hurling championship has been a success at all.Any thoughts on the hurling championships with the semi finals on this weekend?
Junior
Cuchullians 2nds v killeavy
Middletown 2nds v sean treacys
Senior
Middletown v cuchullians
Keady v derrynoose

Dean gaffney back in the Middletown fold i hear, this should be a welcome boost for them.
too much for the clubs that have dual players which is actually the majority of them. Hopefully the football goes back to straight knockout.What has been unsuccessful about it?

Derrynoose should have wonDerrynoose and cuchullians both ran keady and Middletown a lot closer than the scoreline suggests in either at the weekend, final may not be too straightforward for keady in 2 weeks time.

Definitely had themselves in a great position to win. Probably a lack of experience and big game management let them down. I remember something similar happening when they played Middletown a few years ago in the championship.Derrynoose should have won

Cuchulainns and Middletown was a very uneventful game. Seemed to be more stop start than the Keady Noose game. Makes the final extremely hard to call at this point.
Keady should win but Middletown won't give up the championship without a fight. I think Middletown going for 4 or 5 in a row? Yes will be on Armagh TVWhat are the views on Sundays games? Will we be able to view on armagh tv if we cant get to the athletic grounds?
