Last Monday, our Senior Ladies welcomed Galbally to O'Rahilly Park. This was an exciting game of football, with a single point separating the teams at the final whistle. Unfortunately for our Ladies, they were on the wrong side of the score board of 2-6 to 2-7. On Tuesday evening our Minor Boys travelled to Cookstown for Round 3 of their league campaign Unfortunately for our young lads, it wasn't to be their night. On Thursday our u16 Boys played Coalisland Fianna at home. This was a great game in which our young lads kept battling to the final whistle with a never say die attitude but on this occasion, there wasn't enough time on the clock to change the result. On Thursday, our u12 Girls were delighted to get some game time when they played Aghaloo at home in a friendly. On Friday evening, our Senior Men welcomed Donaghmore to O'Rahilly Park. There was no Reserve game but our Senior Men put in a fantastic shift in preparation for their upcoming Championship game registering a win on a score line of 4-15 to 1-13. On Saturday morning, our u14 Boys played Moy at home. This game was a super advertisement for how football should be played with both teams gong toe to toe with an entertaining hour of football. Although our lads came out on the wrong side of the result, they can hold their heads high for the fine display of football and attacking intent they put on. On Saturday evening our Senior Ladies travelled to Coalisland for their last league game. This was another outstanding game with both teams giving their all. Unfortunately for our Ladies, in the closing minutes with a slender lead of 2 points, a ball of the crossbar ended up in the net. Our u8 and u10 Boys and Girls were delighted to get back to action over the weekend also. Our Boys played Moy while the Girls played Ardboe. For some of our youth, this was their first game. Well done to all teams for the fantastic effort they put in.  On Sunday morning our u12 Boys had a Go Games match at home against Moy and were delighted to get back to action also. Our u16 Girls enjoyed their first outing of the year when they had a friendly against Cookstown on Sunday. Our Minor Boys played Moy at home on Sunday morning. This was a game that only ever had a few points between each team but today it wasn't to be for our young lads.

 

On Monday, our Minor Girls have their last league game against Aodh Ruadh in Dungannon at 7pm. On Wednesday our u16 Boys travel to Dungannon to take on Dungannon at 715. On Thursday evening, our Senior Men start their Championship Campaign when they take on near neighbours Coalisland in Edendork at 715pm. On Saturday our u14 Boys are away to Rock at 11am.
