📷 City of Armagh RFC 2025/25 Season Roundup

🏉: Action Rugby

Captured by: Colin Heyburn

Colin Heyburn has selected photos for the 25/26 season roundup.

For this selection he has added depth, context and thus interest to the action.

For Colin shooting these photographs he stated

“it was a season of thrills and spills tinged by a lot of sadness. It is always difficult for a club when they lose one of their own and never to underestimate the effect on his family.

Adam will forever always be young in our hearts”.

Equipment:

Colin lets us know one of his secrets:

“For the spotters, which I am one, I use high end DSLRs and relevant lenses. I shoot Canon. It is a trust thing. They were designed by Tonka Toy breakers. They do what it says on the tin and never let me down”.

Thanks again Colin for your fantastic photography.

Pictured is Elliott Nichols (now senior player) presenting Oliver Cornett his 'best U18 newcomer' trophy in the 2025-26 season whilst on family holiday in Spain!

For those who aren't aware, Oliver has family ties in NI, as his dad is originally from Armagh.

We look forward to welcoming Oliver back again next season 🏉

This is why rugby is the greatest game of all!
