By Niall Gartland WHY stop now? Crossmaglen camogs recently claimed their first Armagh Senior Championship title in 22 years with victory over standard-bearers Granemore, and now they’re bidding for success on the provincial front. They’ll take on Tyrone representatives Eglish – another team in the same mould as Granemore – but Cross’ captain Riona McConville […]
By Shaun Casey THE only blot on Armagh’s otherwise perfect championship record is their round five home defeat at the hands of Laois and while Sunday’s All-Ireland final showdown offers a shot at redemption, manager PJ O’Mullan explains his side aren’t thinking along those lines. The Orchard County are ‘controlling the controllables’ in the build […]
By Daragh Ó Conchúir IT is a fact now that many young women and men with serious ambitions of having inter-county careers in Gaelic Games choose professions conducive to pursuing that goal. You see lots of teachers. Not many self-employed. Few working in jobs with shift work at their core. Nursing is one of the […]
By Michael McMullan TOP of the table is in Armagh’s own hands as they welcome Laois for this weekend’s clash in the All-Ireland Junior Camogie Championship.

By Niall Gartland PJ O’MULLAN is embarking on an exciting new challenge as manager of the Armagh senior inter-county camogie team.

By Niall Gartland ARMAGH camogs are one step away from a place in the All-Ireland Junior Championship final, but they’ll have to produce something very special indeed if they’re to come out on the winning side of the argument against Tipperary Seconds this Saturday. The Orchard County have had a superb season in every respect, […]
By Shaun Casey ARMAGH are taking a step into the unknown this weekend, according to joint-captain Ciarrai Devlin. The Orchard County are off to Dromara to face near neighbours Down (their second string), a pairing that hasn’t popped up that often in recent times. In fact, Armagh haven’t faced the Mourne ladies since easily dispatching Down 2-25 to […]
By Shaun Casey ANTRIM will be keen to bounce back from last week’s round one defeat to Ulster rivals Derry when they host league leaders Kilkenny on Saturday afternoon. The Ulster champions lost out to the Oakleaf County, who they beat in the Ulster final, by ten points in the end. Both Róisín McCormick and […]
