The idea of the ‘Killymoon Schools Cup’ began following a conversation between Anthony McCann, the club captain, and Tyrone All Star Legend Peter Canavan at the fundraising day for the new Holy Trinity College.
As a PE teacher Peter believed that there should to be other sports available to children outside of the normal, soccer, Gaelic, hockey etc.
Almost 80 kids from 14 schools took part on the day – November 8. All had a great time and congratulations to the winners.
A spokesperson for Killymoon Golf Club said: “The feedback from the schools that took part has been excellent and we look forward to running this again in 2025.
“None of this would be possible without our sponsors so we would like to acknowledge Colm Kilpatrick, Killymoon Ladies branch, Emma Monaghan and Glenn Pearson for their contribution towards prizes and to McAleer and Rushe who have committed to being main sponsors for the event going forward.
“Also a word of thank to all the Killymoon members who helped on the day and in particular Oisin Monagh who did a mountain of work in leading this concept to fruition".
