My mate Mark Creaney from Portadown made his senior debut for St Malachy's in 1986 aged 15. He came on today as a late sub to help St Malachy's win the Armagh Junior hurling final at the young age of 54!

It's the most humbling thing I've ever seen," said Ford's chief executive about his recent trip to China.
After visiting a string of factories, Jim Farley was left astonished by the technical innovations being packed into Chinese cars – from self-driving software to facial recognition.
"Their cost and the quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West," Farley warned in July.
"We are in a global competition with China, and it's not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future at Ford."
The car industry boss is not the only Western executive to have returned shaken following a visit to the Far East.
Andrew Forrest, the Australian billionaire behind mining giant Fortescue – which is investing massively in green energy – says his trips to China convinced him to abandon his company's attempts to manufacture electric vehicle powertrains in-house.


I can take you to factories [in China] now, where you'll basically be alongside a big conveyor and the machines come out of the floor and begin to assemble parts," he says.
"And you're walking alongside this conveyor, and after about 800, 900 metres, a truck drives out. There are no people – everything is robotic
