FORMER Down camogie player Niamh Mallon has been shortlisted for a PwC Camogie All-Star. She is one of 10 Galway players among a list of 36 players across six counties. Mallon was selected on last year’s team, a first for an Ulster player since Derry’s Gráinne McGoldrick in 2009. Down’s Máirín McAleenan made the initial […]

By Michael McMullan EAMONN Melaugh has stepped down as Derry senior camogie manager after one year at the helm. The Lavey man had succeeded the outgoing PJ O’Mullan.

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 Michael McMullan DOWN take a step into the unknown against Meath in Saturday’s All-Ireland quarter-final in Clonduff and will be focussing on themselves. Defeat to Kerry in the group stages left top spot and a direct path to the semi-final out of reach. It was a case of getting the focus on beating Carlow to […]
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. Under new manager PJ O’Mullan, they’ve tested themselves this season. As well as life in Division Two, they entered the Ulster Senior Championship where they took Derry to extra-time before […]

By Michael McMullan ANTRIM hope to keep doing what they’ve been doing when they face Meath this weekend – winning games. The Saffrons are league and Ulster champions, so are promoted to the top flight for next season. After wins over Offaly and Westmeath, Antrim will top the group and book an automatic All-Ireland Intermediate […]
By Shaun Casey AFTER a fairly one-sided victory over Kildare to kickstart their All-Ireland campaign, Down will be expecting a much stiffer examination of their credentials when they face off against Kerry in round two. Like Domhnall Nugent’s team, the Kingdom cruised through their opening day fixture against Carlow so both sides will be expecting a […]
By Niall Gartland TYRONE senior camogie manager Paul O’Grady has dubbed Saturday’s All-Ireland Premier Junior Championship round-two match at home to Wicklow as “their biggest match of the year.” The Red Hands claimed a 2-21 to 0-1 victory over Louth on their first day out, but Saturday’s game will be an entirely different kettle of […]
