Fri 05 May 2007Ulster title not enough for McConvilleFor the past three years Armagh footballers have stressed their dominance of Ulster has been diluted by a failure to add a second All-Ireland title to the breakthrough success of 2002, reports Gavin Cummiskey. Speaking at yesterday's launch of the VHI Cúl camps in Croke Park, veteran forward Oisín McConville went so far as to highlight the irrelevancy of achieving a fourth successive provincial medal."To be honest, it wouldn't mean a hell of a lot, no," he said. "It would mean something if we went on to win an All-Ireland because at the end of the day that's why we are all playing."
