Hanratty was my man of the match. Rian ONeill had an excellent second half but was poor in the first. Hanratty was superb in both IMO
Yeah I'm with you Niall on Johnny and it would have been a coin toss, but for me Aaron just shaded it because he put on a captain's performance and like almost all of the amber and black lads (can't think of any I'd rule out to be fair) he didn't hide when the pressure was on. He was constantly directing traffic in the first half trying to see a way to get that 1% that takes charge and changes a game. Just brilliant leadership. We'd better leave it though. Don't want those Cross one's thinking North Armagh have gone soft on them!! :D

Best club game in Armagh for years.
The Nab really put in a great performance, particularly in the first half. Second half they faded somewhat as Cross got stronger (and used a strong bench). Some fantastic individual performances, with Jack Grugan the star. However, they struggled to gain possession, from kick-outs especially.
But Cross showed what they have - not least some star players too. Others have mentioned all the big performers so no need to repeat these. Cross can hopefully give Ulster a good run.
A word of caution - the full back line will need to improve. Conceded a lot of scores.
But Cross are back - great mixture of some older hands and lots of young talent.
On a wider picture, looking forward to seeing the O'Neills playing in the orange jersey - some talents!

A great game ,Gaelic football as it should be played by both teams, a credit to their clubs. Aaron Kernon gave a master class without doubt still one of Ireland's best half backs. This Rangers team have all the qualities to win out in Ulster.
