Four sent off as Crossmaglen shade it

SOCCER: Olympic sprinting great Usain Bolt will continue to pursue his dream of playing professional football despite his failure to reach a deal with Central Coast to play in Australian football’s ALeague. After a two-month trial, Bolt this week rejected Central Coast’s offer of a $150,000 contract to play in the current A-League season. He had been hoping for a reported $3 million. GAELIC FOOTBALL: IT was tough and tense throughout but Crossmaglen Rangers had just enough to see off Coalisland Fianna by 0-12 to 0-10 in the AIB Ulster club SFC in Armagh last night. Four players were sent off and a couple of others were fortunate to escape as tackling on occasions bordered on the dangerous when a fiercely-contested tie evolved into a war of attrition. Coalisland trailed 0-6 to 0-5 at the break having had Brian Toner and Eoin Hampsey dismissed in the firsthalf but Crossmaglen lost Callum Cumiskey and Johnny Hanratty after the break to leave the game in the balance.
