Craobh Rua Camlocha Seniors
Our seniors are through to the Armagh Junior hurling final after a tense and exciting game of hurling which ended Craobh Rua Camlocha 1.12 Middletown 0.13. The game which was played at The Athletic grounds Armagh, as the second of two semi-finals, was played partly under lights due to the late throw- in of the first game of the evening. That senior C’ship game ended with Cú Chulainns emerging as victors over Derrynoose.
In our own game with Middletown the stamina and will to win of the Craobh Rua players was tested to the limit and in the end we came through with flying colours.
Of note throughout the game for Craobh Rua were; R Lewis, F Bradley, E Robb, M Doran, M Bradley and P Cunningham all who scored from play and R Lundy in nets. . In hindsight the result of the game had probably been sealed in the first half with an excellent goal involving M Bradley, E Robb with a stylish finish to the Middletown net by young Joe O Connor. We now face stiff opposition in Seán Treacy’s Lurgan on the 1st September in the Armagh Junior Club Final.
Campa Samhraidh / Summer Camp
Craobh Rua teamed up with Méabh O ‘ Neills camogie club for our annual summer camp which proved an immense success with nearly seventy children taking part.
We would like to say a word of thanks to the club coaches, mentors and parents who all contributed to making the camp such an outstanding success.
Faoi / Under 14s
Our U14 team recorded a good win over local rivals Killeavey in the quarter final of the Armagh U14 C’ship. This Monday we face strong opposition in a Middletown team that we have already faced twice this year in the league. The results of those games were a win each thus making next Monday night’s C’ship semi-final all the more interesting.
Faoi / Under 12s / 10s / 8s
Training continues on Monday at 6.30pm.
