Donaghy and Morgan set for Orchard returns
April 18, 2014
Armagh's Brendan Donaghy battles Wicklow's Leighton Glynn during the 2011 round 2 qualifier game that ended in a draw.
Armagh expect to have both Brendan Donaghy and James Morgan available for the championship.
Both men have been sidelined with long-term injuries but brilliant man marker Morgan made his return to action for Crossmaglen Rangers at the weekend while full back Donaghy's tendinitis nightmare is finally coming to an end.
The Clonmore clubman - whose absence during the league was a key factor in Armagh getting relegated to Division Three - told The Irish News that he hopes to be back in training within three weeks: "I'm back running the last two or three weeks," he says.
"Things are going in the right direction so hopefully it won't be too long before I'm back to full fitness.
"It's very frustrating sitting watching football, especially when you're willing everybody on. You're on the sideline, but you're still part of it and you can't fault the effort of the boys.
"They were very unlucky at times and, after the effort that everybody put in, things just went against Armagh.
"Some of the new boys really stepped up to the plate and put their hands up for a championship place, so there's been good and there's been bad. We ended up in Division Three but that's not the be-all and end-all. It has given everybody a bit more experience and that's what they need."
