Armagh v Tyrone: Are Red Hands clutching at straws?

The championship is officially upon us – and we are back with the first of two episodes of The Monday Club this week.Old foes Armagh and Tyrone get the ball rolling in Sunday’s mouth-watering Ulster SFC preliminary clash, and that is the focus of Monday’s podcast.Irish News GAA journalists Cahair O’Kane and Kenny Archer join Neil Loughran to pick over the history of one of Ulster football’s most enduring rivalries, as well as picking their favourite moments from those famous Noughties battles.And then there’s the big one at the Athletic Grounds - will Niall Morgan return between the sticks? Armagh’s support is a huge factor, but why has Tyrone’s fallen away? Can the Red Hands upset the odds despite a difficult league campaign?Kenny isn’t so sure but Cahair offers some hope after looking a little closer at what went wrong, and what went right, in Division Two.Meanwhile, Wednesday’s subscriber-only pod is not to be missed as Neil and Cahair are joined by ex-Donegal captain Kevin Cassidy and former Armagh star – and regular Monday Club guest - Stefan Campbell for a championship preview special, considering the lay of the land in Ulster and beyond ahead of the big throw-in.IN ASSOCIATION WITH FIND INSURANCE NIFind Insurance NI has been supporting Northern Ireland businesses for 50 years, building a strong reputation for commercial insurance expertise and trusted service across the region.We started here, we stayed here, and we’ve grown with the local business community — working with companies of all sizes.Call 08000 126 367 or visit findinsuranceni.co.uk, Facebook or LinkedIn.
