Ronan Clarke is now back in training with Keiran Toner returning from Australia a couple of days ago.

Shame McDonnell required, Armagh fans might have been able to witness McDonnell and the 2 Clarkes afterall.

Stop the press!! A post from Parouisa on gaelic football! No, wait, sorry, it was another completely pointless, derogatory snipe.

I doubt I'm alone in thinking that this Parouisa really is a poor shadow of that once fine poster, Jayo Cluxton. A real shame...

I'd fear a fully fit Ronan Clarke much more than McDonnell at this stage of their careers. Unfortunately, though, I doubt we will ever see Clarke back to the man he was. He is still only 29, but it is hard to believe that the injuries havent taken their toll.

Toner returning adds depth, as he is a decent enough player, but is unlikely to make a huge difference to the quality of the first 15.

Wouldn't know what sort of form Clarke was in. The last game that I heard of him playing was for Ogs when they won Armagh championship in 09. Although he is in light training, Armagh are about to go into 5 weeks of intensive training so he probably won't start for the Tyrone game anyway. Also, McVerry is back - he was having a decent enough league campaign untill he dislocated his elbow.
