Cullyhanna manager Eamonn McEneaney says opponents Crossmaglen Rangers are “very hot favourites” to come through Sunday’s Armagh SFC semi-final.

Many fancy the St Patrick’s club to topple their south Armagh counterparts this weekend at 2/1 and while McEneaney is confident of victory, the former Monaghan and Louth boss is in no doubt over the task at hand.

“The general public will be looking for a great spectacle but it's a semi-final and it's winner-takes-all and that's what both teams are looking at,” he told The Irish News..

“It's not like the earlier stages where if you lost a match you could maybe get back in again, the winner of this one gets to the final and we're gearing up to try and cross the bridge to get there.

“It's a tall order, Cross are very hot favourites to go through and that's understandable considering their record over the years but Cullyhanna are well positioned to give a good account of themselves and certainly they've put in a big effort this year to try and get to the final. That is the target for next Sunday.

“It's going to be a tough game, they have a lot of very experienced players and we know we have to produce our best performance to get through.”
