Double Boost Cheers Armagh
Talking Balls
Fans and footballers alike at Crossmaglen raised an eyebrow and more at the sight of the latest promotional effort by the fundraising group ‘Friends of Armagh.’
Taking a fig leaf from boxing and American sporting events, the Armagh County Board enlisted three or four young ladies to perk things up as they wandered around the field exhorting the passionate Armagh support to part with their hard earned cash and help run the well oiled machine that is Armagh football.
A week after Meath manager Colm Coyle claimed Armagh had thrown in the towel, there was no sign of early baths as the Orchard men blew the Dubs away with three killer goals.
Talking Balls doesn’t know whether it was Coyle’s ill-judged remarks or the Friends of Armagh swingin’ in behind the team but whatever. . . it worked.
