Davitt Park to host Senior fixture

30 August 2007

A BIG crowd will be expected at Davitt Park next Saturday week for the senior championship clash between Pearse Og's and Maghery. The game will start at 5.30pm with south Armagh referee Oliver Hearty overseeing the official duties.

On the following day Sunday September 9th St Peter’s referee Mickey Leonard will be in charge of the second Gerry Fegan cup semi-final between Crossmaglen and Carrickcruppin.

From a local point of view the Maghery against Pearse Og's tie should be an exciting affair with county players James Lavery and Stephan Forker doing battle with Ogs Armagh players Andy Mallon, back from injury Ronan Clarke and Paul Duffy.

Former county players Pauric Duffy, Kieran Hughes and Gregory Loughran could all pose a threat to Maghery's challenge. The Lough Shore side recently had good wins against Mullaghbawn and Killeavey in the championship and would be expected to push favourites Pearse Og’s to the limit on Saturday week.
