Favourite GAA match

[corn02]

No big games sticking out for me really. Was too young to remmeber our Intermediate victory.

I remember a match down in Tir na Nog when we needed to win or draw to go up, I was young at the time, and I think Cathal O'Rourke may have kicked a late one to seal back-to-back promotions. Some of the older Dromintee ones on here might know better.

We had a couple of real battles at U21 level in recent years. The second one was the windiest day you could imagine. Killeavy went something like 11 points up at the break and weren't shy in letting us know. We stormed, excuse the pun, the second half and won by about four or five in the end I think. But it was brilliant.

The one the year before was a cracker too. Just a brilliant match.

We played Clans in a meaningless league match two years ago, but it was a cracking game of attacking football.

Cross v the Ogs a few years ago in Keady was an exciting game too.

Drawn game was a super game if I remember right. Didn't you save a penalty that day?

Unfortunately not me BC - it was the Rangers keeper - was it Colm Murphy?

His save from Corvan's penalty was one of the best saves I have ever seen in a Gaelic Football match!!

In football terms, that lad disappeared off the face of the earth! I think you and I discussed him before BC - didn't he have a spell in England as a soccer keeper with Luton Town?

That's right rufus, it was Colm Murphy. He may have had a trial, I am not quite sure but he lives in Creggan I think these days and married a local girl. He was a bus driver for a while, don't know what he does now. It was an amazing save alright, it was at the bottom goals I remember that. 20 years blurs the auld memory, you had a chance for some glory as I doubt if anyone could have recalled that it wasn't you

Nobody who knows me would have fallen for that - they'd have known I wouldn't get within a hound's ghoul of it!! My age is the only thing that would qualify me!!!

Raging Bull, are you old enough to remember the Division 1 play off marathon between the Grange and Collegeland? Think it was back in 1993. I think it took 3 games before Collegeland eventually won it. Mightn't have been the greatest football on show, but definitely top drawer for drama and excitement.

the first was in the grange second was in armagh it self and the thirth was in blackwater and there was a big fight between both teams and collegeland won in the end lucky tho

The fight or the match?

Classic stuff!

In the game at the Athletic Grounds, I remember Peter Rafferty swinging a boot at the ball, and it ending up in the top corner! Then there was yer big Grange man, who never kicked the ball. But, jaysus, he could fist it maybe 80 yards!
