By Shaun Casey IN the dying seconds of Saturday’s Intermediate Camogie final, Antoin McCaffery wouldn’t have wanted anyone else standing over the penalty that would ultimately decide the game. Score, and Brenda Horsfield would secure the title for Eglish. Miss, and it was Crossmaglen who returned home with the trophy. McCaffery, the Eglish boss, had […]
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 Niall Gartland THE Ulster Intermediate Camogie Championship is back on the books this year and Eglish will take on Crossmaglen for the provincial title this Saturday afternoon.

By Niall Gartland THERE’S a very real danger that Eglish are coming in cold to Sunday’s All-Ireland Intermediate semi-final against Ahascragh/Caltra, and manager Nathan Curry finds it hard not to be frustrated by the situation. Just like last year, there was no Ulster Intermediate Championship on the books and that means that Eglish haven’t played […]
“CONOR loves cups, loves winning. He’s not a lad to just take part, he has to be winning. He’s a supreme competitor. Whether it’s chess, keepie-uppies, shooting practice, whatever, he always has to win and that’s the massive driving force he’s going to bring with him.” – Mattie McGleenan, August 2022. Prescient words. Eglish boss […]
By Niall Gartland ARMAGH joint-captain Leanne Donnelly says they were keen to rectify the disappointments of 2023 and now they’re hoping to pick up their second piece of silverware in the space of a month when they take on Antrim Seconds in this weekend’s Ulster Intermediate Championship final. The Orchard County came out second best in […]
By Michael McMullan THE late Cormac McAnallen could’ve been one of the greatest players to play the game. That was the take of his former minor, u-21 and senior manager Mickey Harte. Speaking to the press after Saturday’s 1-16 to 1-11 to Dublin, on the 20th anniversary of Cormac’s passing, Harte said it will be […]
