ARMAGH’S SEASON CONCLUDED at the weekend with a narrow one-point defeat to Mayo and promising midfielder Jarlath Og Burns will spend the rest of the summer playing football in the US.
Conro Whelan, Jarlath Og Burns and Austin Gleeson.
Burns, who shone during an impressive rookie campaign with the Orchard, had his sanction approved to join Chicago side John McBrides just before the 1 July deadline. Fellow Armagh panellist Jason Duffy joins Burns at the Windy City outfit.
Early summer exits from the championship gives inter-county players the chance to link up with clubs teams in the States. It’s an opportunity a number of hurlers from Galway and Waterford have availed of after their campaigns prematurely ended in June.
