Cyclists will also get information on training, insurance, etc and there cycle merchandise will also be available.

Dinner Dance.  The Clubs Dinner Dance and Presentation Night was held in Armagh City Hotel on Friday last when we paid tribute to the winning teams of 1988 Junior Championship, and who then went on to win the 1990 Intermediate Championship. It was great to see the two captains, Tony Murphy (1988 ) and Micheal McParland (1990) leading their teams on stage.

The six Collegeland minors from the 2014 Naomh Eoin minor Championship winning team were also invited on-stage.
