🏏 Happy Birthday!
On behalf of everyone at Armagh Cricket Club we would like to wish club stalwart Gareth McCarter a very happy birthday today. Believe it or not Gareth hits 40 not out and in the words of a famous ACC quote “He’s been about some time!”
Gareth made his senior debut in August 1998 and has played a huge amount of games since then rarely missing a game through injury or unavailability such has been his dedication.
He soon became a regular on the 1st XI making the position of Wicket Keeper his own and only last season recorded the rare feat of 300 first XI appearances. He also holds the record for most dismissals by a first XI keeper and also boasts in excess of 1,000 runs.
Off the field of play Gareth has held many admin roles and his dedication, enthusiasm and hard work is very still much to the fore ensuring the smooth day to day running of our club in so many areas.
Happy Birthday G and here’s to many more…

🏏 Sad News
The Officers and Members of the club are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of former Armagh cricketer Kieran McCauley.
“Biffo”as he was affectionately known was a life long resident of the village of Milford and played for the village team for many seasons up until the early 1970’s when the club ceased to exist.
He immediately transferred to Armagh CC and played 157 games for the first XI between 1971 & 1987 serving as club captain in the 1981 and 1985 seasons.
He enjoyed a very distinguished career taking many wickets in an attack he spearheaded with his good friend Reggie Stinson and also recorded a highest score of 112 not out with the bat. When his playing career ceased at the highest level he continued to be involved in the Armagh Taverners cricket team for many years that played on a Friday evening to raise funds for local charities.
One of Kieran’s most cherished cricketing experiences by his own admission and taken from local author Joe McManus’ book, on Milford Village life was :- “I was selected on three occasions along with Reggie Stinson, to play for the President’s XI. This was a great honour, playing alongside the top players in Northern Ireland”
Here Kieran is pictured with Reggie in November 2022 receiving his “100 Cap” at a special ceremony at the mall, an evening he thoroughly enjoyed. Also a picture of his Milford cricketing days opening the batting with Billy Hill.
Deepest condolences is extended to his wife Rita and the entire family circle. May he Rest in Peace.

🏏 Club News - 2nd XI Captaincy 2025
Armagh Cricket Club are excited to announce that all-rounder Adam Woods will be taking over the 2nd XI captaincy for the 2025 season, taking over from Philip Rodgers who has opted to step aside after three years at the helm.
Club President Keith Wilson said “Firstly, thanks to Phil for his dedication spent in charge of the 2nd XI for a number of seasons. It’s a role that has its challenges with 2024 seeing injuries and unavailability unlike we have ever seen before. To keep the 2nd XI up despite that was some effort. It’s great to see a young player like Adam keen to take over and hoping all club members can get behind him in any way we can.”
Adam added “I’m delighted to get the opportunity to captain the 2nd XI. Representing the club at various levels under different captains has given me an insight about how I’d like to lead and it’ll be special to walk out on the Mall with an Armagh Cricket Club team behind me. Thanks to Phil for all his work in the last few years and I hope he will be a key man in the team this season - I can’t wait for pre-season to begin!”
Everyone at ACC would like to wish Adam the very best of luck for his new role in the 2025 campaign!

🏏 Club News - 5th XI Captaincy 2025
Armagh Cricket Club are delighted to announce that Raymond Hetherington will be taking over the 5th XI captaincy for the 2025 season after a very successful return for the new team last year.
Club President Keith Wilson said “It was great to see the 5th XI back last season and Raymond was a key component in the success of the side with his enthusiasm and experience really helping to encourage the young players in the team. Taking over the leadership of the side will only increase that and I wish him every success.”
Raymond added “It’s an honour to be asked to take over the captaincy and I look forward to the challenge of helping develop this next generation of talented players. I’d like to pay tribute to the leadership of Keith for bringing back the 5th XI and making it the success it was in 2024 and we can build on that this upcoming season.”
