Biggest fall from Grace

(Oldest Posts First)

Only two Armagh teams have ever featured in an All Ireland SFC Club final: Clan na Gael and Crossmaglen; while only three have ever won an Ulster - Mullaghbawn and the aforementioned.

While Crossmaglen have been the standard bearers in club football in Armagh, Ulster and Ireland for almost two decades, the other two clubs have descended into mediocrity, with both teams languishing in intermediate football in Armagh.

Clan na Gael featured in five Ulster finals and one All Ireland final, winning three and losing out in a replay in 1974 to UCD. Mullaghbawn won Armagh and Ulster in 1995 and were a mainstay in Armagh senior football throughout the 90s and 2000s. Have any other clubs seen such a drastic turn in fortunes?
