There was notable success for a young Milford hurler Christopher Coulter when, watched by thousands of spectators at St Tiernach’s Park, Clones, he qualified for the Ulster final of the the U-14 Poc Fada competition, as one of two winners of a highly competitive semi-final.
The young talent was selected to represent County Armagh in the popular event which, in recent years, has become part of the Ulster Senior Football Championship.
Representing his local club at the County Armagh Feile in Derrynoose, Christopher’s winning poc earned him the honour of of stepping on the famed Clones pitch during half-time in the Monaghan - Derry Senior football clash.
Competing against Christopher were hurlers representing Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal and Tyrone. It was his remarkable strike of considerable length which saw him win one of the two final places.
Christopher is the eldest son of Mr and Mrs Paul Coulter , Hill Street, Milford . A second year student at St Patrick’s Grammar School, Armagh, he is a dual GAA player.
He was captain of the St Patrick’s Gaelic football team which performed so well in the recent final of the Ulster Colleges’ U-13 ‘B’ competition.
A devoted member of Cuchulainn’s Hurling Club where the U-14 team is coached by Joe McArdle and Dessie Devlin, Christopher seems destined to go far in his sporting endeavours.
Clones is again the venue for the final of the Poc Fada competition when Christopher will compete against players from Fermanagh, Derry, Down and Antrim during the interval in the Fermanagh-Cavan SFC game, displaying his striking skills in front of another huge crowd of spectators.
