Whats the story there? Freak result not as though Keady are a dud team
Definitely no dud teams in 2A. It was a close first 20 mins according to Derrynoose twitter and then they got a second goal and just kicked on. Keady had a spell in the second half where they made abit of a revival, but could only kick 1 pointers in that time. From knowing abit about Derrynoose they have had some good players like David McCreesh and Conor McNally for years, but not much else of top quality. Their minors won 2 or 3 championships in division 2 and 3 over the past few years, so they must have unearthed some good reinforcements. Having 2 county u20's over the past 2 years is a good sign of that too. I see in the fixtures they are up against Og's next week. Can they back that performance up?

Belleek are missing a lot of players through injury and each game they seem to lose another player with Drew McVerry going off last night. They’re best 15 inc Callum ONeill would probably be mid table 2A. For their sake, they’ll be hoping to get everyone back for Championship and maybe give it a rattle as can’t see them staying up.

Cross looking in a little bit of trouble in 1A. They’re only win over Madden could maybe be seen as fortunate also as Madden were the better team for long periods in that game. They were poor again last night for long periods apart from some moments of brilliance. I thought Aaron Haughey kept them in the game throughout and Ronan Fitzpatrick had a good first half. They’ll not be far away come championship with everyone back but I really can’t see them getting any easy points in 1A. Fergal Boylan, Ciaran OHanlon and Aaron Magennis had great spells for Killeavy but they were the better team throughout in general. Shea Magill’s kickouts and free kicks were on point also. One kick in the second half for a two pointer, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ball struck as clean as he hit it!

Hi folks. Hope this is okay to put here! I've created an app called teamtally.app that helps coaches track stats, get prompts during games, get auto generated reports, follow your trends through the whole season and most importantly share a 'fan zone' with your supporters so they get auto updates as they happen without a volunteer having to post on Twitter etc.

Check it out sure and feel free to contact us with any feedback. We're Armagh based so happy to chat or call round to clubs if helpful. Thanks so much!

This has to be the tightest 1A/Division 1 ever? Certainly all up for grabs but It looks like Madden might just have too much for everyone else and will finish top? Clann Eireann to likely do enough throughout to finish 2nd? Very hard to predict which 2 of the other 6 teams could go down? Most likely you might say Harps and Mullaghbawn but it’s been such an unpredictable league!

I was at the Cross/Harps game last night. Good win for the Harps, James McCoy was very good for Harps. Is that Ryan Mellon who was on the line with them? Hadn’t realised he was in there alongside John Toner.

Madden taking serious confidence from their championship win last year, I do think clann eireann will win the league, kileavy motoring well too, the 2 young lads from under 20s flying for them up front, was expecting cross to improve when haughey and mcentee got back in, championship should be wide open again

Is there only 1 Junior league because the seconds teams were ring fenced? There have been some very one sided affairs as a result. Not the fault of lads playing, but difficult to see how anyone benefits from this - the teams winning and losing, plus the overall quality of football

Ray Charles could have told you the outcome of this, but apparently this is what the junior clubs wanted. As to the beneficiaries? Well Éire Óg for one won’t face the prospect of relegation or more importantly the embarrassment of being humbled by one of their neighbours’ second’s team. Don’t they look smart sitting proudly in third place! I take it the Crossmaglen DRA appeal was a failure?
