JAMIE CLARKE IS unlikely to play for Armagh in the 2016 season as he is set to go travelling after Crossmaglen’s All-Ireland club football campaign ends.
Manager Kieran McGeeney has confirmed that Clarke has indicated his plans to return to the United States when the club season finishes.
“I was chatting to Jamie and he has indicated he is gone for the year,” McGeeney stated on the BBC Northern Ireland sports website.
Armagh champions Crossmaglen are chasing a seventh AIB All-Ireland senior crown this spring after winning the Ulster final last November against Monaghan’s Scotstown.
They face Mayo’s Castlebar Mitchels in the All-Ireland semi-final on 13 February with a final place beckoning on St Patrick’s Day if they win that game.
Talented attacker Clarke travelled to the USA last summer in the wake of Armagh’s exit in the All-Ireland football qualifiers against Galway last July.
He subsequently missed Crossmaglen’s county winning campaign in Armagh but returned in October and was sprung from the bench during their Ulster club wins over Kilcoo and Scotstown.
Home team name first, why disrespect Leitrim, regardless of favorite’s tag.
Leitrim v Galway
Ok
Does anybody know if there’s any periscope streams for any of the games? Castlehaven did it for a recent Club Championship game. I think its a great idea. Louth vs Westmeath will probably be a good competitive game but very few will get to see it, the same with Offaly Longford last night. I think Periscope could solve this!!!
it’s God awful poison.
Enjoying it. What do you want?
a mob of thugs
Oh relax ffs. Not one punch thrown.
the ball is just an excuse in fairness.
No Shane, just nonstop mouthing. Horrible to watch that.
