Intermediate Final Awaits, Robbie and the lads

Armagh secured a fantastic win to jump the underdogs to an Intermediate Final next Saturday night in Canton. Robbie Logue with the aid of Brian McGrath have now led the team to 3 straight victorys starting with Local rivals Galway, Mayo, and now the top seeded Intermediate Team Wolfe Tones. Victory was made all the sweeter following the Tones arrogant display earlier in the year. As the old adage goes, "He who laughs last, laughs the longest".

Final Score Armagh Notre Dame 1-9 Wolfe tones 0-8. Darren Gilsenan scored the vital goal to propel Armagh into the final. The club wishes all the best to Robbie and the lads as they take on Connemara Gaels. It will be Aghyran vs. Beragh as Robbie pits his management skills against fellow Tyrone Gael Martin Kerr.

AND - Club Notes - 9th of August 2009

Senior/Junior Football

Armagh Notre Dame had a very successful weekend past, with the Juniors recording their first point of the year with a well earned draw against Mayo, Final Score Armagh ND 1-10 Mayo 2-7. Following on from that well earned draw, the Seniors maintained their winning record against a fancied Galway team. Although Armagh ND started the brightest, it was Galway who scored the first goal of the game, against the run of play, however Armagh ND settled down with a well take goal by Granemore superstar Brian Boylan. Brian also added a great long distance score off the upright to put Armagh Notre Dame back into the driving seat. Armagh could feel that at the break the score line of Armagh ND 1-4 Galway 1-3, did not do them justice, with some easy frees missed and also the Galway defense dragging Gavin Gilsenan down after long solo run through on goal. The second half opened with a Galway score before Dominic Magill scored with a tight angle and back to the uprights again to push Armagh ahead. With 15 minutes played in the second half Armagh ND were reduced to 12 men with Fergal McClelland being sent to the line for what appeared to be a nothing more than a shoulder challenge. Galway smelling a chance to push Armaghs defense pushed forward only to be denied by the wood work, and an Armagh defense that was letting nothing past them. Gavin Gilsenan kicked the last point of the game to secure a hard earned victory for the Armagh boys, proving once again, there are no pretenders in Brighton. Final Score was Armagh Notre Dame 1-8 Galway 1-7. Best for Armagh, Niall Lennon, Damien Burke & Captain Frank Meehan. Photos can be view on the clubs Facebook Page www.facebook.com/armaghnotredame .

Next up this weekend is Mayo on Saturday night at 530Pm in Canton, victory will guarantee Robbie Logue and his charges the final Intermediate Semi Final Spot. The club wishes the boys all the best.

AND - Club Notes - 5th of July 2009

Senior/Junior Football

Following the reschedule from last Sunday and the subsequent reschedule of the eagerly awaited local derby against Galway, the Senior team got off to their first win of the year against an evenly matched Cork. Right from the get go, the game was entertaining, following a few early scores from each team, Cork pierced the Armagh Notre Dame defense and scored a fine goal against Armagh keeper Ciaran Malloy. However this only seemed to boost Armagh, who responded well with some great scores from Darren Gilsenan, Gavin Gilsenan, along with Damien Burke. Not to be outdone additional scores came from Kildare man, Neil Jordan, with a well executed free kick off the ground from about 40 yards out. With Armagh on the ascendency, Darren Gilsenan made a great run only to be pulled down in the Cork square. Neil Jordan placed the ball to the bottom left hand corner, only to be denied by a great save from the Cork goalkeeper, following the rebound, Cork moved the ball up the field and scored the last point of the half. Half time score Armagh Notre Dame 0-9, Cork 1-8. On the restart Armagh continued with their strong running, scooping up breaking ball from the dominant Brian Boylan and Gavin Gilsenan. Not to be outdone with the new arrivals, Fermanagh’s own Darren Maguire, scored 2 well take goals to put Armagh ahead on the board. More points from Darren Gilsenan appeared to seal the victory. However as the 2nd half progressed, Cork had a man sent off after striking Martin Tiffney. As is typical with many matches in the modern game, Cork rallied to create 2 goal scoring changes only to be denied by Glenswilly net minder Ciaran Malloy. Cork continued to push on and their hard work was rewarded with 2 well taken goals, leaving the Armagh Keeper with little chance. Armagh eventually held out for a well deserved win, on a scoreline of Armagh Notre Dame 3-13, Cork 3-10. All the players can be very proud of their performances, they did the club proud.

Armagh: Ciaran Malloy, Adrian Doyle, Niall Lennon, Rory McClelland, Damien Burke, Francis Meehan, Brian Boylan, Fergal McClelland, Neil Jordan, Dominic MaGill, Gavin Gilsenan, Darren Gilsenen, Darren Maguire. Subs, Aidan Blake for Dominic Magill, Martin Tiffney for Damien Burke, Sean McCorry for Fergal McClelland.

The win provided a much needed boost for the club, next up South Bostons Wolfe Tones, on Saturday July 11th at 415pm in the Irish Cultural Centre.

The Juniors competed against Galway at 230PM and following a great start went in at half time 1-6 to 1-3 ahead. However as the 2nd half progressed Galway bolstered with some new blood from Ireland ran away with the game. Final Score Armagh Notre Dame 1-8 Galway 6-12. Best for Armagh were Shane McKenna and Gavin Hall. With the holidays, Armagh were very short handed, however the Juniors showed some good moves, and took some good scores.

Armagh: Cathal Brady, Tom McElwain, Shane McKenna, Seamus Murphy, Cathal Moore, Alan Mcloughlin, Sean Butler, Gavin Hall, Paul Grace, Sean Butler, Sean Kelly, Brian McGrath and Patrick McKenna.

AND- Club Notes May 28th 2009

Senior/Junior Football

The Seniors had their first game of the season against St Christopher’s on Tuesday night past, following a rescheduling from the game on Sunday due to thunderstorms and lightning. The game was hard hitting as was to be expected and although Armagh Notre Dame produced some good moves and scores in the first half, they trailed by 5pts at half time, having conceded 2 soft goals. Following the restart Armagh Notre Dame got off to a good start bringing the deficit back to 3 pts, however luck was not to be on Armaghs side, with 10 mins remaining St Christopher’s scored a 3rd goal. Although Armagh finished the strongest scoring 1-3 in the last 5 mins, there was still too much to make up and St Christopher’s won the game on the score line of 3-9 to 1-12. Although the game was lost all players put in good effort, best for Armagh were Dominic MaGill (0-7) and Gavin Hall. The Next Senior Game is Against Connermara Gaels on Sunday June 14th 230pm. The first junior Game of the Season is against Hartford on Sunday June 7th at 3pm. Training continues Tuesday & Thursday at 630pm Arsenal Park – Watertown
