Hard Luck to Armagh Tough luck to Armagh and Stephen McDonnell and Paul Watters on Armagh's narrow defeat to Tyrone on Sunday. Stephen has surely cemented his third AllStar after a scintillating league campaign. He was man of the match in nearly every game. While not quite so superhuman in the championship, he was always good for at least 1-03 from play in most matches, hitting some unbelieveable scores in the process. No doubt he'll have an influence in the club championship and Down Under in Australia later in the year. |
