We are currently looking for videographers to join our media team. The roles would include filming training and matches. Footage captured would be used for team reviews and highlights - video editing is also an option if able to do so. Travel to away games will be provided as well as the opportunity to travel further afield with teams within the club having been to Copenhagen, Vienna, Glasgow and Salou in the past 3 years. The club will also pay for volunteer training such as first aid and child protection courses. The roles will require you to be available on most Sundays when there is training and matches on. See more information on volunteering within our club here.

This is a great opportunity to add quality experience to your CV or continue your passion in a new area. You don’t need to have any knowledge of American Football, just be willing to learn!

Please note: This is a volunteer position, not a paid position. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an AccessNI check, with the club covering the cost.

Interested candidates should fill out the below form, and we will be in touch with you in due course.

Last night, the Cowboys delivered all the toys and sweets, that had been donated, to the Children's Centre at Craigavon Area Hospital. Thank you to everyone who donated and to the guys for delivering the toys and sweets - it was very well received and will no doubt put a smile on many kids faces.

​Craigavon Cowboys - A Community Club.

It’s time to spread Christmas cheer and share the festive spirit! The Cowboys are now collecting toys/sweets/donations, with all that we receive going directly to the Children’s Ward at the Craigavon Area Hospital.

This morning, Sport NI representatives and Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council Deputy Mayor Paul Duffy joined us at our Give It A Go session to announce our club President Jo Buchanan as the Sport NI Young Volunteer of the Year 2018 winner and presented Jo with his award. Describing Jo's contribution to the club, his nominator said "The Craigavon Cowboys would not be where we are without the hard work and immense time that Jo has put in. He is a true role model for young and old alike within our club and It’s simply incredible the amount of time that he dedicates." This follows volunteer awards for Manny Bell and Greg Loughran earlier this year - it's great to see that the hard work and dedication of our volunteers is being recognised. Congratulations Jo!

The Craigavon Cowboys take on the West Dublin Rhinos on August 12th in Wexford in the IAFL 1 Bowl, but it’s far from the first time these two sides have met.

Over the last eight years, the two clubs have faced each other 10 times, with the Cowboys winning six of those fixtures and the Rhinos four. While they may have been founded 30 years and about 90 miles apart, the two clubs have a lot in common.

Both have earned reputations for fielding hard-hitting and competitive teams that never know when they’re defeated. Each club also recently dropped down to IAFL 1 after years competing at the top level in Ireland, the Rhinos in 2015 and the Cowboys in 2016.
​
Things are looking up now though, as they each sit four quarters away from silverware. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how previous meetings between the two sides played out.

Calling all former Cowboy members! We invite you to our Alumni Game on Sunday 17th June when your Craigavon Cowboys take on the NI Razorbacks. Meet up with old team mates/coaches and reminisce whilst cheering on the current senior team. Further details will be released in due course, hope to see you there!
