Ursula McGivern reminisces on a glorious era for Armagh camogie in the 1990s in conversation with Niall Gartland. These were halcyon days for the Armagh camogs. Halcyon years, to be precise about it. In October 1993, Ursula McGivern hoisted the New Ireland Cup in Breffni Park at the conclusion of the All-Ireland Junior final replay. […]
By Niall Gartland TYRONE camog Reagan Fay hopes that they’re back on the right track ahead of Saturday’s All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship group stage clash against Armagh at Edendork. The Red Hands have made strong progress in recent years, but they hit a bump in the road in the shape of back-to-back defeats before bouncing […]
By Niall Gartland THERE were many positives to be gleaned from Armagh’s opening day win over Kildare in the All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship – but perhaps chief among them was the performance of their returning star Ciara Geoghegan. One of the most talented camogs of her generation, Geoghegan parked her camogie career to start a […]
By Niall Gartland YOU never know until you try. This time last year, the Armagh camogs fielded in the Ulster Senior Championship in the first time in a generation and they more than justified their inclusion with a stirring performance against Derry at the semi-final stage. Two late goals brought the game to extra-time, and […]
By Niall Gartland ARMAGH camogis have lost more than their fair share of finals in recent years but Saturday’s Division 3A final date with Roscommon at Abbotstown is more about clinching promotion than a piece of silverware. Though the Orchard camogs did manage to win the Division 3A final two years ago, they’ve lost a […]
By Shaun Casey PJ O’Mullan’s Armagh will be looking to extend their winning streak on Saturday when they host Tyrone. Armagh are currently top of the pile in Division 3A, having earned back-to-back wins so far this season. They proved too strong for Roscommon on the opening day before downing Kildare last weekend, both games […]
By Shaun Casey FOR a while, Armagh have known they were going to compete in the semi-finals of the Premier Junior All-Ireland Championship and now that they are here, they want to make the most of it, says goalkeeper Ciarrai Devlin. Convincing wins over Roscommon, this weekend’s opponents, and Louth in the opening two rounds […]
By Shaun Casey ARMAGH can see out the final two rounds of the group stages in the comfort of knowing they’re already in the All-Ireland Premier Junior semi-finals and manager PJ O’Mullan is delighted with how things have been going. They’ve certainly been the in-form team in the championship and sit at the top of the […]
By Shaun Casey FOLLOWING on from their first-round victory away to Roscommon, PJ O’Mullan’s Armagh will be looking to make it two from two when they host Louth at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds on Saturday afternoon. O’Mullan admits that his team are facing into the unknown as they haven’t crossed paths with the Wee County […]
By Niall Gartland ARMAGH skipper Ciara Hill believes that they have acclimatised well to the demands of Division 2A camogie, even if their results haven’t necessarily shown it. The Orchard camogs badly need a positive result against Kerry this Saturday if they’re to have a shout of staying up, having lost their three matches to date. […]
