No they were all in the one van - apparently though they werent disfigured that much from reading the book and on looking at the pictures yes they are both blonde hair blued eyed etc but i just dont get that the family wouldnt know their daughters face

I dont see how you could get disfigured from reading a book ? Was it a pop-up book?

did shane o'neills form as a result of fallout in cruppen? i'd say all the lurgan clubs can trace their formation to a fall out of some sort  :D
there was no shanes or cruppen it was jus was camlough.
The St.Patricks Carrickcruppen Gaelic Football Club was founded in 1944 (the exact date of which has not yet been verified), as a direct result of a dispute in the selection of a 'Camlough' team from the time.

As the story goes, the Camlough team had progressed into the Armagh Junior Championship final and the selection committee, believing it would strengthen the team, decided to sign a few new players from the nearby town of Newry.

At that time, all of the team members resided in the Camlough locality and the selectors decision to import players was not recieved very favourably, especially by the players facing exclusion from the team. One of the key players on this Camlough team, Oliver Loughran, himself a certain starter, was vociferous in his condemnation of the Camlough team selectors. So much so in fact that he opted out of the squad and severed all connections with the club.

In an attempt to keep Gaelic football in the area and to give local talent a chance to play, Oliver arranged a meeting with all interested parties (namely Colen Crilly, Paddy Carlisle, Bobby Browne, and James Galloghly) in the hope of forming another team. This meeting was held at the top of the Quarter road at Magill's corner (where Oliver still lives today in fact). At the meeting a pricely sum of 3/9 (19p in modern currency) was collected for the purchase of a ball and it was agreed that Magill's field would double as the new club's first official pitch. It was on this pitch in fact that the club spent most of it's formative years, before it's eventual relocation to the current grounds on Lowes Lane.

At that time, Carrickcruppen football catered only for males, so the ladies of the district decided to form a camogie team which, in time, devoloped into one of the most respected and revered throughout the county.
