Although Armagh won both charity matches the main winners of course are the charities. A fantastic amount of £2700 was raised by the 4 teams and will be split between the Southern Area Hospice and The Ronald McDonald charities. A big thanks to everyone involved in raising such a tremendous amount for 2 worthy causes.
