Armagh started the game with a bright sun in their faces and a strong side
\nwind. CIYMS hit Armagh early with a good break down the right wing, where
\nthey created a two on one and scored in the corner. Armagh secured a lot of
\ngood possession against a large pack, but it took 20 minutes to get a break
\nthrough, by the way of Brian Basset crashing down the middle, the ball being
\nspread wide, resulted in the impressive Rab Straghan crossing the line.
\nArmagh kept up the pressure on the CIYMS try line, with Rory Hanna and Paul
\nCully being stopped just short. Armagh’s pressure resulted in a penalty
\nwhich Captain Andy Knipe slotted over with ease. Some good positional
\nkicking from CIYMS resulted in them getting a good attacking lineout, which
\nthey spread wide and went over for a score 5 minutes before half time, this
\ntime they converted. This was the last time they scored as in the 2nd half
\nthey played into the sun and Armagh took full advantage of this. Matty Allen
\nhit a good line and popped to Andrew Morton, who put his head down to score
\nclose to the posts, to give Armagh the lead again, with Andy Knipe getting
\nthe conversion. Being only 3 points ahead Armagh were keep to extend their
\nlead, so with a lift in the tempo the CIYMS defence were in 6s and 7s, when
\nStan Hamilton Chipped over the ruck to get a relieving score. The conversion
\nwas missed but the lead was 8 points, so CIYMS stared to run everything,
\nthis played into Armagh’s hands, with Jason McMahon and Gareth Warnock in
\nfine tackling form, Armagh pinned CIYMS to their own line for the last 20
\nminutes, with the final break through coming from Mark Laverty, with a
\nVintage Mark Laverty move, where he beat 5 players to score a great
\nindividual try. Armagh can be pleased with hard fought win, which keeps
\nArmagh at joint top in the league. Armagh are at Home in the Quarter Final
\nof the Forrester Cup next week against Dungannon 4ths. All support welcome,
\nfor what promises to be a mouth watering encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
