We are delighted to announce the details of the Armagh Cricket Club 2026 Summer Scheme for this season.

The Summer Scheme has proved very popular and successful for a number of seasons, and hopefully as many as possible will be able to attend from previous years. Of course we will be delighted to see any new faces who haven’t attended before and you will be made very welcome.

The scheme will be led by the current 1st XI vice captain and all rounder Samuel Wilson, a player in a rich vein of form in recent seasons. He has also spent the last two winters in Australia coaching and playing the game and is very excited at delivering and developing skills this summer.

Also leading will be our overseas South African player and coach Luan Liebenberg, who has returned to Armagh for a second season after his very successful debut season in 2025.

❗ Due to the scheme’s popularity from previous years please contact Samuel, on the number displayed on the poster as soon as possible to register your child’s interest.

Event: Loughgall District LOL No. 3 Mini-Twelfth
Date: Saturday 27th June 2026
Time: from 7.00pm
Location: Loughgall

Loughgall Mini-Twelfth

Loughgall District LOL No. 3 will again be holding their Mini-Twelfth parade in
Loughgall Village, the Birthplace of the Orange Order. This year it will be held on
Saturday evening, 27th June 2026 leaving the assembly field at 7.15pm. Prior to the
parade, at 7.00pm in the assembly field, the District Lodge will be unfurling their
new District bannerette. Everyone will be made welcome.

It is hoped that all 22 Private Lodges along with their banners, will be on parade
that evening; in addition, Ladies from the Women’s Association have been invited
to take part, along with Junior Boys & Girls Lodges. County Officers will be in
attendance and visitors from other Counties and Districts are more than welcome
to attend.

Approximately 10 bands will accompany the Lodges through the historic village. As
ever, Loughgall District is renowned for the Lambeg Drum and many will be
accompanying the brethren if the weather is favourable.

Venue

Loughgall is of course the home of the Orange Order and is renowned throughout
the world for its Historical Significance of being the birthplace of the Orange Order,
something that Loughgall District are very proud of. Loughgall District is one of the
most geographically widespread within Co Armagh; and stretches from just outside
Armagh City into Co Tyrone.

The District has the proud distinction of having the Diamond area within its
boundaries, the scene of the famous Battle of the Diamond on 21 September 1795;
and of course, the parade will pass the “Museum of Orange Heritage” at Sloan’s
House, where the first Orange Warrants were signed after the battle.

Timings

The District will be unfurling their new bannerette in the assembly field at
Orchard Park, commencing at 7.00pm. The mini-12th parade, headed by Killylea
Silver Band, will leave the assembly field at 7.15 pm sharp. It will then proceed
through the village to the junction at Drumilly Road, stopping at the old church
ruins to lay a floral wreath in memory of those brutally murdered in the 1641
rebellion. The parade will return via the same route.

Car Parking

Car parking will be available along the parade route. Car parking will also be
available in a field beside Orchard Park, opposite the assembly field.

All sisters, brethren and juniors are welcome to come and parade through the
Historic birthplace of the Orange Order. Members of the public are invited to
come along and enjoy the spectacle.

Club News, Match Reports and Results

30th March 2026

🏏 AGM

Recently we had our Annual General Meeting at the pavilion. Before the meeting started, those present stood in a minutes silence to all those bereaved since the last AGM. In particular the President paid tribute to former club captain and later taverners player and committee member Kieran Macauley (Biffo), who sadly passed away in March 2025. The members present also reflected on the tragic loss of club volunteer Eddie Giffin who sadly died in May 2025.

The meeting then proceeded in the usual manner when the President delivered the Annual Report on club activities.

The report paid reference to club positivity on continuing to field five senior teams with great success. Also highlighted a wonderful youth set up from Power Cricket up to under 11’s under 13’s and under 15 XI’s. The Under 15’s received special mention as they were victorious in winning their league and a subsequent play off to bring silverware to the club. Tributes were also paid to Ami Mandrekar who collected awards for Cricket Ireland and NCU Coach of the year.

The Honorary Treasurer’s report was then received with great enthusiasm amid the need to continue to maintain tight restraints but also to maintain the need to improve facilities to both pitches and clubrooms accordingly.

After the reports the election of officers and Team Captains took place with the following results :-

• PRESIDENT - Keith Wilson

• VICE PRESIDENT - Noel Humphries

• HONORARY TREASURER - Paul Wilson

• HONORARY SECRETARY - Gareth McCarter

• P.R.O. - Dan Ballantyne

• SUBSCRIPTION SECRETARY - Phil Doyle

• 1st XI Captain - Michael Hoey

• 2nd XI Captain - Adam Woods

• 3rd & 4th XI Captain - Keith Wilson

• 5th XI Captain - Raymond Hetherington

The meeting then concluded with a very special presentation. Club President, Keith Wilson, presented club legend Arnold Courtney with an engraved award to mark the milestone of playing an incredible SEVEN decades for Armagh Cricket Club, making his debut in 1968 and playing up until the 2024 season. It was mentioned that it would be highly unlikely that this incredible achievement would ever be repeated in our club’s history given the magnitude of it. Unfortunately records of appearances are not recorded but it was envisaged that Arnold represented the club well in excess of 1,500 games at all levels. A great friend to many and someone who has been such a prominent figure throughout the club’s history both on the pitch and away from it.

It hasn’t been officially declared that Arnold is in retirement, and with an over 50’s league starting up, there might still be an appearance or two remaining. We will wait and see! Congratulations and Thanks Arnold on your dedication and commitment for so long.

27th March 2026

🏏 1st XI Fixtures 2026

Four weeks tomorrow, the first XI will kick off their league campaign with an away fixture at Bangor. After visiting Lurgan on 2nd May, in the Challenge Cup, they will play Lurgan again on the mall on bank holiday Monday. First XI skipper Michael Hoey said…

“We are looking forward to getting the season started, we have had a good turnout every week to our indoor nets for pre season. Hopefully the weather starts to pick up and we can get outside before the season starts. We welcome back our overseas player from last year, Luan Liebenberg, and are excited to feature in the Irish National Cup this season with a plum draw at home to Ballyspallen on Saturday 9th May.”

Here’s a full list of fixtures for your diary and we will share the other teams shortly and a few words of wisdom from the captains concerned.

26th March 2026

🏏 Throwback Thursday

Another Throwback Thursday and a couple of pictures from the 1980’s and 1990’s for some Armagh Cricket Club teams.

Firstly, the black and white photo depicts the Third XI, before a home game with Collegians, from the 1980’s, under the captaincy of the late Billy Williamson, who later became Club President, as well as some other very familiar faces.

The colour photograph, focuses on the Fourth XI touring squad, before setting of on their tour to Glasgow in May 1998 . That particular team was under the management of Ian “Sparky” Mitchell, pictured fifth from the left, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. Fair to say it was a hugely successful operation! Note also the under construction Sainsbury’s building in the background.

25th March 2026

🏏 Practice

The 2026 season at Armagh Cricket Club is just round the corner, though the current weather climate might suggest otherwise.

However indoor practice continues tonight, at the royal school Armagh, from 6.15pm until 8.30pm. All new members welcome, and of course the current crop of players will be very welcome as well.

19th March 2026

🏏 The National Cup

We have been drawn at home to Ballyspallen Cricket Club in the opening round of the National Cup.

The tie will take place at the Mall and we are looking forward to hosting our first Cricket Ireland fixture since 2018

Fixture: Armagh Cricket Club v Ballyspallen
Date: Saturday 9th May 2026

3rd March 2026

🏏 NCU Cup Draws & Masters 100

The NCU cup draws were recently made for our 5 senior teams. There’s a mix of home and away ties with the thirds and fifths receiving byes in the opening rounds of their respective competitions.

Also we are delighted to announce that Armagh Cricket Club will be entering the NCU Masters 100, a competition designed for over 50’s who are looking to rekindle their love of the game or those who simply want to play more cricket. So if you fancy the challenge please contact us.

28th February 2026

🏏 Sad News

The officers and members of Armagh Cricket Club are deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of our former player Bobby Orr. Bobby was a second XI stalwart from the late 1970’s right through to the mid 1990’s, winning bowling awards with his renowned accurate line and length bowling.

Bobby also represented the first XI on many occasions from 1980-1986. One of his most famous moments came from a first XI cup final in the Mid Ulster McGredy Cup Competition in the early 1980’s, Armagh were chasing exactly 100 to win when Bobby, not renowned for his batting, entered the run chase at number 11 and the score on 99 for 9 and duly hit the winning runs, to secure the win, a story he often recited on occasions afterwards.

Bobby was a gentleman, and a larger than life character on and off the field. Deepest sympathies are extended to his daughter Lisa and the entire family circle at this sad time. May he rest in peace.

28th February 2026

🏏 The Mall

Things starting to take a bit of shape and hoping for more dry weather along the way…

19th February 2026

🏏 Throwback Thursday

It’s been a while since we’ve had a throwback Thursday but here’s a few photos from yesteryear on the place we call home, The Mall.

Firstly, a local league select from the 1980’s and then the 1st XI from the late 1970’s.

Some great characters in each photo and some sadly no longer with us. The photos contain 5 players who also became club Presidents after their playing days had ceased.

Special thanks to another former President, and club legend, George Breakey, who supplied one of the photos and Paul McCord who provided the other one.

19th February 2026

🏏 Junior Off-Season Cricket Training

With this rather wet start to the year, it would be easy to forget that Summer is just a few months away......and with it, cricket on The Mall.

In readiness for the start of the season, Armagh Cricket Club have commenced their junior, off-season training with a strong turnout for the U11s sessions.

It’s great to see them all keen to continue their cricket development whilst having plenty of fun...and no doubt, all are looking forward to next week’s session.

Simply put ...it’s fantastic to be back.

PS - If your child would like to get involved with our U11s, feel free to get in touch for more details.

14th February 2026

🏏 SPONSORSHIP 2026

There are lots of opportunities for businesses, charities and individuals to support your local cricket club this upcoming season. With lots of players to sponsor, and at least 9 1st XI home games (as well as away games), there are lots of ways for you or your business to get exposure to over 1.7k followers of our Facebook page, and beyond, in our local community.

The YFCU AGM & Conference Weekend was held in the Silverbirch Hotel in Omagh from the 24th to 26th of April. Members from Collone YFC attended the event and enjoyed a fabulous weekend together celebrating the past year of YFC events.

Member and YFCU Vice-President Karen Walker took part in a 120 mile cycle to the AGM alongside other members of the Presidential Team to raise vital funds for YFCU and Rural Support. A brilliant challenge for two worthy charities. Friday night kicked off the weekend with members attending the ‘Oops… we dressed for the wrong event’ disco which was arranged by Co Tyrone YFC. Collone members coordinated a group costume with members dressing as characters from the minions. A great night was had by all and it set the tone for the rest of the weekend.

Saturday morning saw Linzi Kennedy, James McConnell , Ruth McWhirter and Zara Ratcliffe representing the club in the top 5 of the Club Of The Year Competition where they delivered a presentation on ‘Why Collone YFC should be named club of the year. Unfortunately the club did not win this year however it is a fantastic achievement to make it to the top five and one which is very well deserved after a year of hard work by the club officials, committee and members.

On Saturday afternoon members attended the AGM & Conference. Member Karen Walker was successfully re-elected as YFCU Vice-President, what an achievement for Karen as she ran against 7 other candidates. Karen is an outstanding member who gives her all to all YFCU events and she has the support of Collone YFC as she undertakes another busy year of Presidential Team commitments. The Club would like to wish the newly elected Presidential Team good luck for the incoming year. Congratulations are also in order for Collone YFC PRO Zara Ratcliffe who was named YFCU PRO of the Year, an amazing achievement recognising a year of dedication to developing the clubs social media pages.

Collone received the Ballyvester Cup (18-30) and the E T Green Cup (14-18) with Club Secretary Linzi Kennedy placing third in the President’s Award Scheme which recognises member contribution and achievement throughout the year.

Club Leader James McConnell placed second overall in the Ulster Young Farmer Competition and also received awards for success in the individual sections of the competition - 1st Place in the Pigs/Poultry section, 3rd in the Beef Section, 2nd in the Grass Section, 3rd in the Finance Section and 3rd in the Farm Safety Section.
