Senior Men
Well done to our Senior Men last Saturday night when they booked their place in the Quarter Final of the Championship with a score line of 2-17 to 0-00 over Killeeshil. The men had to play under treacherous conditions, however the senior men played some exciting fast football and took some great scores.
It was also good to see Enda McGarrity and Liam Rafferty amongst the scores after recovering from longterm injuries. Well done to all players and management on winning the first round. There will be no senior or reserve matches this weekend due to the championship games on this weekend. Their next game in the league will be against Derrylaughan on the 14th of June.
Ladies Football
This Friday our Senior ladies will be away to Trillick on Friday night with a throw in of 7:30pm. All support welcome. Last week the ladies were narrowly defeated by two points by Castlederg. Good luck this week girls!
Monday evening seen the end of the Gaelic for Girls, this was a great 9 week programme where over 40 girls thoroughly enjoyed the training sessions and some girls that attended had never played football before- that alone was a great experience for them all. There was a small presentation on Monday night where the girls were presented with their Gaelic 4 Girls jersey and certificates. We hope to see all the girls back out playing football in the near future.
Youth football
Last Saturday seen the 10th Annual Martin Mc Caughey Tournament take place in Pearse Park. We had 16 teams taking part from all over Tyrone, Derry and Monaghan. All teams played to their best potential and there was some very competitive games. The Shield was won by Fintona after they beat Killeeshil in the Final, this was Fintona’s first year in the competition – Well done to them. The Final of the Martin Mc Caughey Cup was between Errigal Ciaran and Dungannon, with Errigal Ciaran coming out winners after a very entertaining game. Congratulations to Errigal Ciaran GAA. This was also Dungannon’s first year in the competition and to make the final was a great achievement.
We would like to thank everyone who helped out on the day, especially to all the women and Kieran who spent hours in the Kitchen preparing all the food – we can’t thank you all enough for all your hard work.
