Armagh County Camogie
We wish the Armagh County Minor camogie team all the best for their All Ireland final against Carlow this Saturday 4 September. The game will be played in Ashbourne where our school side played their All Ireland recently.
It’s great to see that 11 of the panel are currently pupils at our school and 5 others, including captain Amy Lavery, are past pupils. Good luck for Saturday, girls!
