To mark the historic achievement of Eoghan Ruadh’s capture of every hurling title available in Tyrone in 2012, Mayor Phelim Gildernew hosted a Civic Reception at the Council offices on Tuesday night past. The Mayor congratulated the club on its outstanding success and the positive contribution it made to the life and confidence of the town and Borough. Mayor Gildernew referred to the pride the Council took in the sporting successes of all clubs and sports people within the Borough. He applauded all concerned and urged all our young players to translate their success on the field into other aspects of their lives; their school work, their career decisions and subsequent working lives. Eoghan Ruadh’s success had been unparalleled in 2012. Other speakers on the night included club Cathaoirleacht Tomas Colton as well as County Cathaoirleacht Ciarán McLaughlin and club member and Councillor Barry “Ba” Monteith. A presentation followed in the Council Chambers which featured a brief history of the town and a snapshot of the wonderful facilities now open at the Council’s Hill of the O’Neill and Ranfurly House Arts and Visitors Centre. Eoghan Ruadh extends its sincere appreciation to all involved on the night particularly the parents, invited guests players and coaches as well as all the Council staff. Indeed Eoghan Ruadh made a swift return to the Hill of the O’Neill on Sunday past where all winning teams, captains and managers gathered for an historic photograph to mark 2012’s achievements. The Club Photo-shoot was followed by the Club AGM at which took place in the Iggy Jones Room, O’Neill Park, Dungannon. A small but committed turn-out heard reports on all aspects of club life. Indeed, given the success of the last year it was perhaps unsurprising that there were few changes in committee personnel. With the club now a couple of months ahead of its normal annual schedule, the new committee will no doubt press ahead with plans for 2013. The first meeting takes place at the Naíscóil at 8:45pm on Monday 3rd December; all committee members please take note

MOY

St Joseph’s Hall, Omagh was the place to be last Sunday afternoon (25th November) for the Final of the 2012 Tyrone Scór na nÓg. This was the first year in a long time that An Mhaigh Tír na nÓg G.A.C. had qualified for the deciding stage of county competition, and our young representatives certainly did us proud. Donning the Moy club colours and performing on county final day were our An Rince Foirne (Céilí Dancing) team of Ellen O’Neill, Lavina O’Neill, Caoimhe Magee, Aisling Magee, Louise Keppler and Siobhan Keppler, and Bailéad Ghrúpa (Ballad Group) members Ellen Donohue, Anna McDonald, Brianna Mallon and Kathryn Regan. It was a terrific achievement for the club to have these two acts appearing in the Tyrone Final. Our céilí dancers, under the expert tutelage of Fionnuala Cavanagh, and ballad singers put a lot of hard work and preparation into this year’s competition, and their performances last weekend were excellent. Indeed, all our young Scór representatives showed wonderful enthusiasm and talent throughout the 2012 competition to make it beyond the opening round. They proved to be great ambassadors for An Mhaigh G.A.C. and will no doubt be looking forward to representing the club again at future Scór events. Well done to everyone involved, including our team mentors and family members of each of the participants. Special thanks again must go to our Cultural Officer Caoimhe Lynch, and her parents Liam and Angela, who have helped revive interest in Scór among An Mhaigh GAA members. Next up is the Scór Sinsear for adult members in January 2013. A number of An Mhaigh club members have already expressed a willingness to take part in the senior competition, and anyone else who would like to get involved should get in touch with Caoimhe Lynch, Liam Lynch or any member of the committee.

An Mhaigh Under 21 footballers slipped to a four point defeat at home to Moortown St Malachy’s in round two of the knock-out competition, last Saturday afternoon (24th November). An Mhaigh’s last remaining fixture in this grade will be at home to Derrylaughan Kevin Barry’s on Saturday 1st December at 2.00pm. For more information about training and this forthcoming game, contact team mentors Peter McKearney or Philip McQuade.

An Mhaigh G.A.C. 2012 Youth Presentation took place in St John’s Parochial Hall, Moy on the afternoon of Sunday 18th November. Youth Officer Gerry Fearon reports: “This year’s event, which was attended by a large number of our youth players and their family members, was ably hosted by the ever-present Paud Loughran.

“Paud called proceedings to order and introduced our three special guests for the evening: Paul Rouse, who is part of our senior training team and one of the leading trainers in Ulster working at Jordanstown with elite athletes; Sean Cavanagh, who needs no introduction to the people of the Moy; and the All-Ireland Intermediate 7-a-side trophy, which was a great achievement for the Moy, and good that the youth of the club got to see and share in this.

“Paud got things going by inviting Sean to the stage. Sean spoke to the youth and the parents alike, giving advice and words of encouragement. He remembered that he had sat in the hall at youth presentations and didn’t always get an award. He congratulated all of those that were about to receive awards but reminded everyone that it’s more about enjoying football.

“Sean reminded players to listen to their coaches and encouraged parents to encourage their children to put in the practice in their own gardens. He thanked the youth committee for the chance to speak and felt confident that the Moy’s future was looking good when so many young players were present in the hall.

“The individual presentations then took place. All awards were presented by Paul Rouse, while each of the coaches talked about how their respective seasons panned out. There were several trophies on show that had been won over the year by the under 8 and under 10 teams. The girls had made it to four county finals and the boys to one final.”

“The girls individual award winners were as follows: Lucy McAlary (U-10 Player of the Year); Aideen O’Hanlon (Most Improved U-10 Player); Seanin Doherty (U-12 Player of the Year); Aiste Balsevciute (Most Improved U-12 Player); Anna McDonald (U-14 Player of the Year); Aine McElroy (U-16 Player of the Year); and Eimear McCormack (U-18 Player of the Year).

“The boys individual award winners were as follows: Conor Mackle (U-8 Player of the Year); Ronan O’Hagan (Most Improved U-8 Player); Steve Donaghy (U-10 Player of the Year); Shane Mackle (Most Improved U-10 Player); Adam Donaghy (U-12 Player of the Year); Scott Donaghy (Most Improved U-12 Player); Gavin Kelly (U-13 Player of the Year); Emmett Lavery (U-14 Player of the Year); Chris O’Neill (U-16 Player of the Year); and Mark McConville (U-18 Player of the Year).

“Paul Rouse was then called on to say a few words. He congratulated the Moy club on running such a successful evening and, looking at the table full of trophies, he said that the Moy could be pleased with their efforts for the year. He spoke of the success that Sean Cavanagh had as a player and that it does not come about by accident. It takes hard work and working on your own as well as working with your coaches. He praised the club for its work with the youth and said that, anytime he was down at the pitch, he always saw coaches working with players and that this was a good sign for the club.”

Gerry Fearon, himself, closed proceedings and took the opportunity to thank Mary Daly, Peter McKearney and all the senior committee for allowing the youth committee to run the various tournaments throughout the year. Martin Conroy was also congratulated for his work at the annual tournaments in the Moy, and he called for more support from parents to help in the running of these.

Gerry thanked his guests, Paul and Sean, for their words of encouragement and praised all the coaches for their effort throughout the year. He called on parents to continue with their support of the club and coaches and to encourage their children in practice and training. He thanked those that provided refreshments and, last but not least, he thanked the youth committee for their help all year.

The Saturday evening Vigil Mass in St John’s Church, Moy on Saturday 24th November was offered for the deceased members of An Mhaigh Tír na nÓg G.A.C. A number of youth and adult representatives from our club were directly involved in the Mass, which remembered all An Mhaigh Gaels who have gone to their eternal rest.

Senior footballers and club officers Eimear Gildernew and Ryan O’Neill said the main readings while six of our young underage members each read special Prayers of the Faithful. During the Offertory Procession, honorary vice-President and youth team mentor Mickey Kavanagh brought a Moy senior team jersey to the altar while Youth Officer Gerry Fearon handed over a football. Club Secretary Mary Daly and honorary vice-President Frankie McQuade, meanwhile, carried the water and wine. Special thanks to Rev Fr John Hughes CC who was the celebrant for the Mass, the choir for the beautiful music and singing, and those who helped organise this very important event in our club’s calendar.
