Kearney creates Armagh first

ARMAGH native Úna Kearney becomes the first lady from the Orchard county to take charge of a senior All-Ireland Camogie final when she takes charge of the meeting of Cork and Tipperary on September 19.

Kearney, a primary teacher at St Catherines in Armagh, previously took charge of the 2002 Junior All-Ireland final.

Meanwhile, the junior All-Ireland final between Cork and Down will be refereed by former Dublin senior star Aileen Lawlor, who now resides in Westmeath. Aileen was in charge of the senior final in 2002.
