<strong>Killeavy</strong> handed tough championship draws<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> championship draws were made on Wednesday night resulting in some very tough assignments for <strong>Killeavy</strong>’s footballers<br />
and hurlers. The first draw made was for the Junior Hurling championship which saw <strong>Killeavy</strong> drawn in a semi-final against St.<br />
Malachy’s, Portadown. We might just fancy our chances of getting through this to reach the final against Middletown 2nds/Sean<br />
Tracy’s or Camlough Craobh Rua. This will certainly be the target and the Junior Hurling might just be our most likely chance of a<br />
county title next year.<br />
The Junior championship is the most keenly contested of all the grades with 21 teams vying for the title. <strong>Killeavy</strong> 2nds have at least<br />
avoided the preliminary round but have been handed a tough 1 st round game against the winners of Derrynoose or Clady.<br />
Most interest was probably on the Senior championship with thirteen clubs entering the race to lift the Gerry Arthurs Cup. This is<br />
our first year back in the big time following on from our Intermediate triumph last year and our reward was to be drawn out against<br />
Maghery in one of five preliminary round ties. Maghery won the league title last year and have long been regarded as one of the<br />
top teams in the county. With players of the calibre of Stefan Forker, they will pose a serious obstacle for our championship<br />
ambitions. However, should we manage to overcome the challenge of the men from the lough shore then we will face a much more<br />
neighbourly challenge in the quarter-final against Carrickcruppen. Well as they say – nothing worthwhile is ever easy.<br />
Last Hurrah for 2012<br />
Earlier this week, the club organised this photograph showing all our captains and vice-captains and the silverware they collected<br />
last year. The photograph will shortly occupy a spot in the social club as a final memento of the success we enjoyed in 2012<br />
