Crossmaglen celebrate another Armagh SFC title. INPHO

Crossmaglen joint-manager Oisin McConville is refusing to underestimate Armagh Harps ahead of today's Armagh SFC final at the Athletic Grounds.

Cross' are hot favourites to complete a five-in-a-row and lift the Fagan Cup for a remarkable 18th time in 19 years, but McConville is taking nothing for granted against the city side.

"They beat us quite well in the league, they were exceptional against us," he noted in the Irish News.

"They have a solid defence, a very good midfield and they're very quick up front. The big thing about them is their work-rate, they seem to be playing for each other, they seem to have a good system in place. That will make life difficult for us on Sunday.

"Any of the complacency will be gone because we were beaten so well in the league. We were second best in so many positions in that game and for us that's a good thing because we have to concentrate on being first on Sunday."
