From City Of Armagh Rugby Club: One special mention this evening goes to our U12 group. Today was their last day playing together before they split to go to their schools or into the youth section. We are so sad to see some of them go but we want to wish them every success and know that they are always welcome back! We also want to wish our other boys the best as they move into the youth U14 squad, we know the talent this group of boys have so we are excited to see them progress. Thank you to all the coaches for developing these boys into the successful players they are, all the hard work has certainly paid off!
