An Mhaigh U16 lads opened their grade two league campaign with a home game against Pomeroy Plunketts on Wednesday 24th July. The Tír na nÓgs went into this game slightly understrength but certainly played their part in a high-scoring contest that could have went either way. Visitors Pomeroy were the better team in the first half and were good value for their 1-10 to 2-2 interval lead. However, it was the Moy lads who came out firing for the second period and took the game to their opponents. In an exciting final thirty minutes, the lead changed hands on a couple of occasions, but it was Pomeroy who finished that bit stronger to win on a scoreline of 2-17 to 4-7. An Mhaigh scorers: P Mallon 2-2, R Coleman 1-1, M Conroy 1-0, F Kelly 0-2, T Loughran 0-1, C O’Hanlon 0-1. Meanwhile, a report of An Mhaigh’s round two league game away to neighbours Eglish on Monday 29th July will be included in next week’s notes. For more information about training and forthcoming games, contact team mentors Paddy McKeown, Niall Conlon and Tomás McNicholl.

The last two winners of the Nifty Fifty were Pauline Foye (15/07/13) and Ben McManus, (22/07/13)/ Pauline’s winning ticket was sold by Sheila McCrudden while Ben bought his ticket from Tommy Gates. Neither Pauline or Ben matched the bonus number so the jackpot of £5,000 is still there to be won. For your chance to win why not purchase a ticket from any of our weekly sellers? Better still, why not sign up by direct debit and you’ll be entered in the next fifty draws from the date of joining.

Our minors were left disappointed last Monday when Lisbellaw failed to field. Our seniors last game was against Lisbellaw in the Armagh League. With some players still away it was an ideal opportunity for others to show what they were made of and young Dwyer Marshall certainly stepped up to the plate. He finished the night with a hat-trick of goals as Eoghan Ruadh ran out six point winners. Next up for the seniors is a championship semi-final against Na Seamróigí. Originally pencilled in for Saturday past, the game now goes ahead this week at Garvaghey.

Over the past few years Eoghan Ruadh’s youth policy has managed to produce some good very good teams, notably last year’s U14s and indeed this year’s Féile team too. It is a credit to all our coaches, players and their parents how these lads have applied themselves to acquiring the skills of our national game. Our the current U12 team may just turn out to be a little bit extra special. On Saturday past they managed to win the Kevin Lynch Memorial Trophy, defeating the host side not once but twice on the way to success. were all at Owenbeg two weeks ago. Training continues as usual at the Hurling Fields on Wednesday evenings. Played on a superb surface, in great weather and a large crowd, the young Eoghan Ruadh lads put on an exhibition of their skills. Against Derry city side Na Magha captain Cormac Hughes and Cain Ferguson started to adjust to the elements and scored freely. Armagh rivals Cuhulainns were next up and put up a great fight, but our midfield of Fearghal Donaghy and Micahel Little, alongside Luke Cullen, and S.P McKernan were outstanding. So three wins and our final group game was against host club Kevin Lynchs. In the move of the game young James Fearon showed all his battling skills, winning the sliotar from 3 Lynchs players, soloing the whole way through the defence to set up Cormac Hughes for the winning goal. That sent us through to the final. It was hosts Dungiven who were the opposition. The energetic Cain Ferguson set the tone with a wonderful goal from the start. Dungiven started the second half strongly, but Eoghan Ruadh went on to win the prestigous trophy. Thanks to Kevin Hinphey & Dungiven Kevin Lynch’s Hurling Club for the Invite.

Eoghan Ruadh sends best wishes to senior club goalkeeper Paddy McKillion as he takes on the might of Ireland’s big hitters in next weekend’s All Ireland Póc Fada at the Cooley Mountains.

On a sadder note and Eoghan Ruadh extends deepest sympathy to three former players on the deaths this week of their grandmothers. Shea Coyle, formerly an outstanding prospect at underage whose career was cut short by injury was a grandson of Mrs Amelia McCann of Bernagh Gardens.

Sympathy is also extended to former players Paul and Stefan Pantry whose grandmother Mrs Mary Pantry passed away on Sunday, just a few short weeks after the death of her husband Harry and granddaughter Kerrie, To the Pantry family we again extend our deepest sympathy. Sympathy is also extended to the family of the late Patricia Begley (née Donnelly, Benburb), Reaskmore, Dungannon who passed away last week.
