Armagh City U15s travelled to Galway on Saturday to represent the club and the local Lions Club in the semi final of the All Ireland Lions Cup. The team was drawn away to Salthill Devon in Galway to play the cup holders. The team made the long journey to Galway and produced a brave display taking the game to extra time and penalties. The game was exciting from start to finish with both teams giving everything they had.
City could have gone one up early on when Grimley was denied by a great save by the Salthill keeper. City chased and harried as they tried to contain the slick Salthill youngsters who took control of the game retaining possession and dominating the early stages before scoring on twenty minutes after a series of corners that put the City defence under serious pressure. The goal did not deter the City youngsters who upped the tempo of the game as they started to settle down. After the opening goal both teams had chances with Murphy, Quinn and Grimley having chances to square the game. While Stewart, Brady and O’Kane all made telling tackles to deny a very mobile Salthill attack.

Killymoon Rangers 1-4 Armagh City
Armagh City travelled to Cookstown on Saturday to play the final Irish League Second Division game of the season.
City played into the breeze in the first half and it was Killymoon who were first to attack when Kevin Kelly went through one on one but Sean Morgan was well out to block his shot. After 12 minutes a back pass to the Killymoon goalkeeper saw Cillian Sheridan put him under pressure but McElhatton raced out and hit the ball so hard that it was heading for the top corner of the City net at the other end. Sean Morgan got across to turn the ball away and then moved to his left to catch it. It seemed to most City supporters in the stand that he had kept the ball in play but the assistant referee flagged for a corner which wasn’t properly cleared and when Kelly crossed it back into the middle centre half McMullan was there to head the first goal of the game.

Armagh City 2-3 Dundela
Saturday marked the end of an era as Armagh City played their last home match on grass.
Once the football season is over, the diggers move into Holm Park to convert Bertie Hutchinson’s billiard-like surface to 3G. Unfortunately, however, City were unable to mark their final home game of the season with a win as they slipped to a 3-2 defeat to title-chasing Dundela.
But for much of the game a draw was on the cards and City will feel disappointed that they were unable to take a share of the spoils. The first half was packed full of action with a total of four goals coming to leave the sides level at the break.

Armagh City 2-0 Portstewart
Armagh City confirmed their Belfast Telegraph Championship Two status for next season with this very comfortable 2-0 win over Portstewart on Saturday.
The Holm Park side completely dominated proceedings and should have rattled in several more scores from the numerous chances they created.
