Marsden takes up soccer

Brilliant Aramgh forward Diarmuid Marsden has taken on a dual role as a soccer star after teaming up with Irish League side Lurgan Celtic Boys.

The All-Ireland winner in September has already made his soccer debut and was well received by boss Barry Douglas.

"Diarmuid had an excellent 90 minutes for us against Annagh United and I would have no hesitation throwing him into the side in bigger games," said Douglas.

Armagh official Paddy Nugent said: "I would imagine Joe will allow Diarmuid to play soccer up until the end of January, when the National League starts up."
