Rangers Are Feile Champions 2011

Rangers U14 Captain Miceal McCabe accepts the Armagh County Feile Cup from former Crossmaglen curate and Armagh Minor Board Secretary Fr Rory Coyle.  Rangers overcame a very strong killeavey team in the Feile County Final in the Athletic Grounds in Armagh on Saturday afternoon.  Killeavey started the stronger and opened up a 3 point lead with a quick goal with their first attack and they stayed in front for most of the first half, however, the Rangers lads showed tremendous battling qualities and they managed to level the match at 1 – 02 to 0 – 05 at half time.  Killeavey again took the lead in the opening stages of the second half going 4 points up at one stage, but Cross began to get to grips with the game and 2 second half goals from Stephen Morris put Cross in the driving seat as they entered the final stages of the game.  Killeavey never gave up but the Rangers had their tails up at this point and added a few insurance points to seal victory running out deserving winners on a scoreline of 2 – 12 to 1 – 07. While everyone played their part in the securing the title the outstanding performance of Daniel Cunningham, who put in a man of the match performance at full back, deserves special recognition. The boys will now represent Armagh in the All Ireland Feile which is being held this year in Cork from Thursday 30 June to Saturday 02 July. Some photos in the Gallery section courtesy of John Merry.
