By Patrick Morrison IT was back in the early nineties that I first experienced the game of basketball. As a tall primary six student I was afforded a place on the school basketball team.

Kieran McGeeney has announced his squad for Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final showdown with Kerry. The Orchard County have named an unchanged line-up from the one that defeated Roscommon two weeks ago. It’s only a seventh ever championship meeting between Armagh and Kerry, with the last clash coming back in 2006. The Kingdom emerged victorious that day, […]
THE ASR method is something I have researched over the past 18 to 24 months. Combining MAS and MSS is a much more accurate way of conditioning and profiling the players for the championship ahead. I would only use ASR for the summer, mainly because I find it difficult to find true MSS in the […]
ANDREW Murnin has returned to the Armagh forward line for this weekend’s top of the table clash with Galway. Murnin missed out through injury the last day when Armagh hammered Derry by 11-points.

Andrew Murnin and Rian O’Neill are just working their way back, […]
By Shaun Casey CROSSMAGLEN picked up their 47th Armagh Senior Championship title with a handsome 12-point win over Clan na Gael last Sunday. A stunning second-half display from Anthony Cunningham’s men was key as they secured the Gerry Fagan Cup for the second year in a row and for the fourth time in six seasons. […]
