Draw tonight-anyone know the time?
Have feeling it will be Cavan away (again) or Tyrone at home. I'm usually wrong.

The target for us next year is to get to the ‘Super 8’ so the draw has become even more important , if you get to the final and lose a great incentive is your still only one game away from the series.

Fermanagh will be no push over with the new manager and we seem to be losing a few players for next year and we could have done with being on the other side of Tyrone and Monaghan in the draw , it’s a long road for us but still achievable.

I'm not sure what to think about this game v Fermanagh. Obviously we'll have played them in the league just, presumably, a few weeks before it. It's obviously possible too that we could play them in the league final depending on how we and they go (if we're not in the mix to go up next season, it'll be a massive blow), so they're possibly the next best in my humble opinion. I really think we will up the ante next season with a bit less experimenting, based on nothing more than the way we finished out this year.

Missing players for whatever reason, may hurt, but if the squad that we have don't/can't step it up a little, then maybe we are we where we deserve to be and new ideas will be required to move on. The old tinted glasses are parked for now and as we're on a new forum, I'm not going to be blindly following whilst still vehemently supporting. Still no matter what the game, wherever it is and if possible, I'll be there. The time for soup must be left on the old forum. It's back to the good old days of ham sandwiches and Tayto crisps hopefully with tea from a flask outta the back of the car. A time when we are all unified behind the team, but now being able to say what we want without the threat of CB taking away our toys.

I'd love to know if the O'Fiaich Cup is gonna happen again this year and am just wondering if @bcb1 has heard any rumours or stories around the club. Looks like the McKenna cup will start sharp next season too so there'll be a lot to think about around and shortly after Christmas - yes I did dare say the word. It's less than 10 weeks away.

McKenna Cup time will soon be upon us, I am of the opinion that Armagh should field their strongest possible team in this competition so that they are up to full speed for the start of the league, it is very important that we get promotion this year and a good start is vital. Lets concentrate on the league , as another year in division 3 would be soul destroying. If we get a run in the championship well and good I would count that as a welcome bonus.
