Shane’s Girls Gaelic
Next Saturday, 14th March, sees our Shane’s Girls Gaelic programme commence at the club from 10.00am - 11.15am.
Shane’s Girls Gaelic is essentially for girls between the ages of 8 and 13 years, who have never played the sport before or who ar not a member of a club. It will take place over a 5 week period where the girls are introduced not only to a new sport and skill set, but more importantly at this age, new friends and potential team-mates in a safe, fun and friendly environment.
Each week several experienced coaches, some of whom are currently playing senior ladies football with Shane O’Neill’s and Armagh, will take the training sessions. The cost is £25 for the 5-week programme which covers 5 sessions, a Shane’s Girls Gaelic top and a certificate on completion. Girls can register on the first morning of the programme. Water, juice, fruit and snacks will also be provided each week inside the clubhouse afterwards while the girls relax and enjoy some music and chat. The programme will conclude with a 3-day Easter Gaelic Camp on April 15th, 16th & 17th.

Armagh GAA have submitted plans for a multi-million training facility in Portadown.
The plans aim to transform St. Malachy’s Portadown into a multi-million pound state-of-the-art county training facility. Strategically located the development of the 26-acre site on the outskirts of Portadown will help address the need for county training facilities.
The planning application includes four playing fields with floodlighting and catch nets, sports changing pavilion with multi-purpose hall, strength and conditioning suite, spectator stand/terrace, ball-wall, air dome (covered inflatable sports bubble) and associated car and coach parking.
Commenting on the project, Chairman Michael Savage said “We are delighted to reach an important key milestone on this significant development project. Our clubs fully endorsed the proposed development last September and we are pleased to have submitted the planning application for processing.
“This really is testament to the tremendous work of the project board who has played a vital role in bringing this project to the planning stage and I want to thank them for all their work to date.“
It is an exciting time for Armagh GAA as we take another vital step forward to deliver what is a well-known fact - that we need additional and improved facilities for all our county teams and academy squads."
It's hoped that the planning process will be concluded later this year. Mr Savage added that their focus is now towards exploring all funding opportunities and they strongly encourage all the County clubs to continue to raise vital finance through the club draw.
