Dear Mr Mohan

quite a bold statement regarding John McCloskey. Surely John’s record speaks for itself!!! Remember when armagh won their first all ireland teh size and physical condition of teh players was down to John. Surely every coach worth his salt r4esearches and borrows methods from all over teh place. i know John has attended coaching symposiums in the US and Australia!!! most would congratulate him on doing this “borrowing” ! As for the wellies quite right, then he was actually doing the training was he?

What a gentleman Oliver is. He is a pleasure to work with and a lovely man with it. I first met Oliver over ten years ago when he was down about clones. Keep up the great work

Manager !!!!! what a joke Mccloskey is living in walter mitty land..he is a self titled coach who ‘borrows’ his methods and training from more qualified others..He took us for training and turned up in a pair of wellies every night..He is running round courting media people like yourself padraig to manipulate a job within the gaa.

Comment on Hurling and Camogie set for Ulster Championship action by paul mcanallen

Ciarán Gourley and Peter Herron, teachers and football managers of St. Patrick’s Academy, Dungannon, launched Campa Chormaic 2009 in the BARD Centre, the Brantry, Co. Tyrone, on Wednesday 22 April.

The special guests guided teams from the Academy to win the Hogan Cup in 2008 and the MacRory Cup again in 2009. They both have a particular interest in the camp. Ciarán played alongside Cormac McAnallen on Tír Eoghain teams for seven years and he still plays for the county, while Peter is a teacher of Irish, the main language of the camp.

“It’s a great honour for me to be here today and associated with Campa Chormaic,” said Ciarán. “Cormac was a close friend of mine. This is a fitting event to keep the spirit of Cormac alive in the youth and in his own area. I have taken part in it as a coach in past years and I enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to doing so again.”

Campa Chormaic was founded in 2005 after the death of Tír Eoghain captain Cormac on 2 March 2004 from a heart condition. The main aim behind the camp is to stir the interest of the youth in the areas surrounding Cormac’s homeplace, in the Irish language and Gaelic games. The intention is to nurture in the children the same passion for Gaelic culture and local history that Cormac had. This is the fifth year of the camp and it is going from strength to strength.

“It is appropriate that we recognise the playing achievements of the Academy. Our endeavours complement their work to encourage the youth,” said Conall Ó Máirtín, chairman of the Campa Chormaic committee. “We thank Ciarán and Peter for that and for coming here today to give us their support.”

Conall Ó Máirtín announced at the event that this year would see an expansion of Campa Chormaic for the first time into other counties. This year Campa Chormaic will open in County Down as well as in Tyrone, Conall said at the event, “There is a great opportunity for us this year to expand Campa Chormaic to other parts of the country. It demonstrates the interest that exsists in the language and it gives us a great opportunity as we celebrate 125 years of the GAA to fulfill the aims of those who founded the association”.

Micheál Ó Máirtín, who is president of Campa Chormaic, added praise to those who had financially supported Campa Chormaic, “We are extremely grateful to Barrets Concrete, the Tyrone County Board and the Ulster Council who have supported Campa Chormaic and who are committed to the promotion of Gaelic Games and the Irish Language.

This year’s camp will begin on 27 July and will continue until 7 August. The first week (27-31 July) will cater for children between 10 and 12 years of age and the second week (3-7 August) will be for those in the 12-16 age bracket.
