I was at St Pauls GAA Club in Lurgan tonight. A very good crowd watching Armagh play Down in a match to mark the Official Opening/Blessing of the St Pauls Pitch. The score was (I think) Down 5-8 Armagh 1-10. Obviously both teams used their full squad which had a disruptive effect on the match itself. Certainly some quality players on show but all the Armagh Gaels watching still anxious about the Armagh midfield.

 The Irish, Armagh and Down Flags but if Willie Frasr reads this Blog, I want it understood that it is actually the Italian Flag. He would have enjoyed the National Anthem…..obviously it was also Italian.

On the plus side, my grandson scored a goal and two points in an exhibition “under 10” game at Half Time.
