Just over 16 months on from hosting a maiden game at the facility, Armagh LGFA recently reached another milestone in the ongoing development of their McKeever Park training base.
June 20 last year was the date for a clash between the county’s U16 team and their Ulster rivals Antrim at the Killean venue - the only one of its kind across Ireland that is solely dedicated to Ladies football. As historic as this moment was, however, it only represented an early phase of the Armagh board’s ambitious plans for the site.
The next big leap forward for McKeever Park arrived last Friday week, when newly-installed floodlights were turned on for the very first time at the ground. Shane McCormack will be the first senior manager within the Orchard County to avail of this fully-lit surface, albeit it has been used by the squad on a semi-regular basis since April of last year.
