Kingdom's
juvenile awards night - 27/11/02
 Two
hugely memorable An Riocht presentation nights were held
at Dunavil last week. Special guests were Armagh All Ireland
and All Star winner Oisin McConville, Ben Fox and Down and
An Riocht senior player John Clarke. McConville certainly
got into the mood of the occasion when he signed over 100
posters for the young players.
McConville then took part in a free kick
competition in the sports hall. Back in 1989 An Riocht and
McConville's club Crossmaglen were both representing their
counties at Feile Peil in Galway and a then young Oisin
and the Kingdom's Damian Cunningham met in the final of
the All Ireland skills competition. After a marathon session,
the two boys just could not be separated and were declared
joint champions. A few years later John Clarke represented
An Riocht and Down when he took part and won the skills
final.
On Wednesday night Oisin faced Damian but they both had
their thunder stolen by U14 Leigh Campbell who won this
particular contest.
Martin Clarke won Oisin's signed jersey in the raffle.
