Stewartstown Harps GAC
Senior/ reserve
The ACL continued on Friday night when Cookstown were the visitors to Mullaghmoyle. In the reserve game, a lot of wasted possession and missed chances from the team allowed a much more economical Cookstown team to always stay in front and in the end run out convincing winners. Best for the reserves were Brendan Kelly and Barry Bleeks. In the senior match, both teams gave it everything and served up a very entertaining game. Two goals in the early stages of the second half looked to have given Cookstown an unassailable lead but the Harps continued to battle and in the end lost out by a goal on a 2-13 to 1-13 score line. Scorers for the Harps were John Devlin 1-2, Anton Coyle 0-5, Peter Armour 0-4, Michael Mulgrew 0-1 and Paul Dillon 0-1. Best for the Harps were Mark Mc Bennett, Michael Mulgrew and Anton Coyle.

Kildress
SENIOR FOOTBALL
The Senior game against Clonoe was abandoned on Sunday after 15 minutes. Torrential rain and a thunder and lightning storm left playing conditions unsafe and the referee had no option but to postpone the game. The reserve game was played before the weather took a turn for the worse. Against a very strong Clonoe reserve team Kildress started well and raced into a 0.02 to 0.00 lead. However, Kildress lost their way somewhat as the game went on and Clonoe took control of proceedings. Although Kildress rallied towards the end they were defeated on a score-line of Kildress 0.06; Clonoe 0.12.

Senior ACL Division 1
Ard Bó 0-15
An Mhaigh 0-5
An Mhaigh senior footballers slipped to their third consecutive league defeat, last Sunday evening, as Ardboe proved too strong at the loughshore. Moy were severely hampered by the unavailability of our four county stars and a number of other players, but did at least produce a battling display for the most part.
Moy's vastly understrength side started well and were 0-3 to 0-1 ahead at the end of the first quarter. However, it was Ardboe who finished the half strongest to lead 0-6 to 0-3 at the interval.

Reserve ACL Division 1
Ard Bó 5-13
An Mhaigh 1-6
A makeshift Moy reserve team fell to another heavy defeat, last Sunday, when succumbing to the powerful challenge presented by home side Ardboe. The loughshore club's greater strength in depth was very much in evidence as they swept aside an unsettled Moy outfit which included a number of new players to first division football.
Ardboe were rampant in a one-sided first half and built up an unassailable lead by the break. However, to Moy's credit, the players dusted themselves down for the second half and provided much greater resistance. The Tír na nÓgs were outscored 1-4 to 2-6 during the final thirty minutes and will hope to be in a much stronger position when the teams meet in the championship later this week.
Team & Scorers: Talal Jomar; Dirar Jomar, Gary Jordan, Adrian O'Neill; Colm Quinn, Philip McQuade, James Kavanagh; James Devlin and Aaron Donaghy; Martin Kernan, Conall Laverty (0-4, 4 frees), Francie McKeown; Aidan Coleman (1-1, 1 pen, 1 free), Peter McKearney, Paddy McKeown (0-1, 1 free).
Moy's next reserve game is away to Ardboe in the first round of the Division One Championship this Thursday evening (18th June) at 7.30pm.
Under 18 League
An Mhaigh 0-13
Ard Bó 2-10
An Mhaigh minor team's season came to an end at Pairc Thír na nÓg last Friday night, when losing to Ardboe by three points in their final Grade Two league game. This result meant the Sky Blues, who were short a few key players for this match, narrowly missed out on qualification for the knock-out stages of the competition.
In a very free-flowing encounter that produced some excellent passages of football, the Moy lads will reflect on a number of missed scoring opportunities that cost them a place in the quarter-finals. As well as kicking a total of thirteen wides, the home side also struck the crossbar and had two shots on goal saved by the Ardboe goalkeeper in the second half.
An Mhaigh enjoyed no luck on the night with a penalty decision going against them late in the first half. That helped Ardboe turn a four point deficit into a one point lead at the break (1-4 to 0-6). The sides were then level with seven minutes of the match remaining but a second Ardboe goal, which had an element of good fortune to it, paved the way for an away victory on a scoreline of 2-10 to 0-13.
Team & Scorers: Nathan Brady; Jack Kelly, Jim Kelly, Adrian O'Neill; Conor Kelly, Eunan Deeney, Daniel Beaddie; Ryan Mallon (0-4, 3 frees) and Aaron Donaghy; Ryan Nugent, Peter Mallon (0-7, 1 free), Stephen Beaddie (0-1); Shane McKeown (0-1), Matt Dynes, Mark Gribbin. Subs: Harry Loughran (55 mins) and Tiernan Donohue.
Final League Position: Played 7, Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 3, Points 7. Despite the disappointment of not finishing in the top four and reaching the league quarter-finals, our minor players and management can still look back with some satisfaction on what was a good campaign in Grade Two. They competed well against some very tough opposition and many of these players will no doubt go on to make a big impression at senior level.
Under 12 Go Games
An Mhaigh Under 12 footballers played host to two Armagh clubs last week in preparation for the start of their Tyrone Go Games.
Both our A and B teams recorded victories over St John's (Collegeland, Clonmore and Annaghmore) on Wednesday 10th June and Maghery on Friday 12th June. Players of note in both games were Rory Magee, Ryan Coleman, Eoghan Kelly, Mark Regan, Patrick Mackle and Tom Loughran.
Meanwhile, on Monday evening past, Moy's Under 12 footballers welcomed the boys of Coalisland Fianna to Pairc Thír na nÓg for round one of the Tyrone Go Games. Played in glorious weather conditions, both the A and B matches served up some great football and provided the large attendance with some terrific entertainment.
Under 10 Blitz
A total of nineteen young An Mhaigh players attended the Under 10 Go Games Blitz in Coalisland last Saturday morning, allowing our club to field two teams in this event. The Tír na nÓg boys were in for a treat as they had been drawn against top clubs like Errigal Ciaran, Carrickmore and Kildress.
The array of skills that was shown by both Moy teams was encouraging and the coaches were pleased with the commitment and effort of all their players. One of the games in particular, Carrickmore v Moy, was a joy to behold. The tackling and the blocking by both sides was great to see, leaving scoring opportunities at a premium. There were some great scores taken from out on the wings, fast free-flowing football and some wonderful passing movements.
All three matches provided a good test for our lads and they will certainly have benefitted from the experience. The coaches would like to thank all the boys who gave their all for Moy and the parents who were there to provide support. Indeed, the coaches would like to welcome all parents to come and watch these blitzes. The next one is in Errigal Ciaran on Saturday 27th June.
An Mhaigh mentors and players would like to thank Coalisland for their hospitality and an enjoyable day all round. Training will take place on Saturday as normal, with players to be at pitch for 9.20am. Any parents who requires further information on Under 10 training and matches should contact Liam Lynch, Brendan Farmer or Gerry Fearon.
Under 8 Blitz
An Mhaigh youth team mentor Martin Magee gave the following account of Moy's participation in last Saturday's Under 8 Blitz in Clonduff, County Down:
"Summer weather and the month of June always arouse marvellous memories of the picturesque Mountains of Mourne and of course the excitement of the Under 8's Clonduff tournament in God's Own County Down. How long the memories will remain of last year's victory when Captain Marvel Michael Conroy lifted the trophy aloft, higher than Slieve Donard herself.
"But a year is a long time in football and this year's tournament just wasn't to be as fruitful for the young boys from An Mhaigh Tír na nÓg. The 20 strong squad were in good voice as they sang their way down the road. This high pitch followed them through the league stage as the Blues strolled into the knock out rounds.
"The Tinkerman" Adrian Jordan had the boys well drilled early on. Drumgath, Bryansford, Ballyholland, The Bridge and Clann Eireann provided tough opposition in the league stages. There were defeats to Bryansford and Ballyholland but the other teams in the group had no answer to the Cat-like goalkeeping skills of Padraig Watters, who will definitely have County star John Devine looking nervously over his shoulder.
"The wizardry of Mark Hagan was immense in the front line and this was in good company with the stamina of Jamie Coleman, the tenacity of a fearless Ryan Conroy, the mesmerising skills of the Boss's son Michael Jordan and the net busting goals from Daragh Gildernew.
"Adam Donaghy and his younger brother Steve stood tall in the middle of the field during the league stages. Steve topped the scoring stakes despite a disabling arm injury early on. Also on the mark were the skilful Pod Hamill who played with a smile on his face all day, the versatile Miceal Mackle and the highly strung Ciaran Campbell.
"Moy's defence was as solid as a rock early on too. Shane "The Rock" Mackle was sturdy in defence, the ever present Patrick Harvey was all over the place and Jack Laverty showed signs of things to come next year with some basketball like fielding.
"However it just wasn't to be for the Tyrone men. Down side Warrenpoint showed the Moy men the early exit door in the quarter final despite fine displays from Lucas, the international, the hardworking Mathew Johnston, the relentlessness of an ever improving Dara Fox and the "je ne sais quoi" of Aidan Fearon. Neither the chemistry of Jarlath Swail nor the red hair dye of the tireless Scott Donaghy, were enough to delay the long walk back to the bus.
"All said it was a gallant performance from the very young side who still showed their hunger on the journey home making light work of McDonalds happy-meals. Maybe next year!"
Moy Under 8 squad: Patrick Harvey, Shane Mackle, Michael Jordan, Steve Donaghy, Matthew Johnston, Lucas, Dara Gildernew, Jarlath Swail, Dara Fox, Aidan Fearon, Scott Donaghy, Mark Hagan, Jamie Coleman, Ryan Conroy, Padraig Watters, Adam Donaghy, Ciaran Campbell, Jack Laverty, Miceal Mackle and Padraig Hamill.
Ladies Intermediate Championship
An Mhaigh 2-13
Loch Mhic Ruairí 2-11
An Mhaigh ladies senior team advanced to the semi-finals of the Intermediate Championship by virtue of a dramatic two point victory over Loughmacrory at Dunmoyle, last Saturday night. This first round tie served up some wonderful entertainment and, with the sides deadlocked at the end of sixty minutes, it was Moy who eventually took the honours after two exciting periods of extra-time.
The Tír na nÓg girls looked to have done enough in normal time to record their first win of the season, when leading by three points with time almost up. Nina Murphy had scored the only goal of the game and that is what separated the teams up until the final few seconds when Loughmacroy were awarded a penalty. The spot-kick was duly converted to level the contest on a scoreline of 1-9 to 1-9.
Although An Mhaigh had victory snatched from them at that stage, the Sky Blues were not to be denied in extra-time. Two Maeve McKearney points and a goal from young Sophie Lavery in the first period gave their side a five point advantage. Despite another brave comeback by Loughmacrory in the second period, Moy showed great determination to hold out for a 2-13 to 2-11 win.
Team: Eimear McKearney; Jade McGee, Colleen McCance, Michelle Gribbin; Frances Bigley, Patricia Conroy, Ashlene McCann; Alice Murphy and Sarah Rafferty; Leona Gallagher, Kelley Fay, Eimear Swail; Michelle Clancy, Nina Murphy, Maeve McKearney. Subs used: Jenna Hagan, Sophie Lavery and Grace McCormack. Other subs: Ellie McCance, Mairead Mitchell and Katie Murren.
An Mhaigh ladies will now play Cill Iseal in the Intermediate Championship Semi-Final at Galbally this Friday night (19th June). Throw-in time will be 8.15pm.
Girls Under 12 League
An Mhaigh Under 12 girls played two games last week, both away fixtures to Carrickmore on Wednesday 10 June and Killeeshil on Saturday 13 June.
The first of these games proved exceptionally tough with Carrickmore fielding a particularly strong team. The home side dominated from start to finish, running out comprehensive winners on the night.
The game away to Killeeshil was a much more balanced affair with Moy establishing an early lead and playing some free-flowing controlled football. In a tight contest, the Moy girls managed to consolidate their half-time lead and run out winners on a scoreline of 3-5 to 1-4.
Representing Moy were: Caoimhe Corr, Ciara O'Hanlon, Caoimhe Magee, Shona Jordan, Alice Kelly, Anna McDonald, Lauren McCaffrey, Niamh Jones, Cara Corr, Caoilainn Doherty, Aileen Jones, Niamh Armstrong, Yasmin Fitzpatrick, Megan Davidson, Aoibheann Swail, Molly Young and Emer Currie.

We congratulate Fr Darragh on reaching this wonderful milestone and thank him most sincerely for the immense contribution he has made to our club and parish over many years. May God bless him and reward his good work.

Cookstown win derby thriller
Cookstown visited local rivals Stewartstown on Friday evening and came out on top in what proved to be a thriller. The home team got off to the perfect start in the opening minutes when they converted a close range free. A long range effort from Brian O'Neill brought the Rocks level before Shea McGarrity fired over a great score to put them into the lead. Stewartstown quickly equalised before scores from Donal Casey and Conor Mullan put the Rocks back in the driving seat. Midway through the second half Cookstown began to play some superb expansive football, however the possession was not being converted into scores, in the twenty sixth minute Donal Casey broke the deadlock, before Christopher Eastwood hit two excellent points, one from play the other from a long distance free. A late salvage from Stewartstown just before the whistle meant that Cookstown had a one point lead at the break on a scoreline of 0-7 to 0-6. Fr Rocks began the second half at breakneck pace and within minutes a well worked moved saw Christopher Eastwood crash the ball to the back of the Stewartstown net, a minute later and he had opened the home defence again opting to take a point with the goal at his mercy. Stewartstown did fight back and hit three scores in a row before Jason Quinn ended his recent scoring famine with a well taken point. With Christopher Eastwood in scintillating form Cookstown seemed well on top and once again he terrorised the Stewartstown defence, finishing off another great move with a lob over the on rushing keeper. Further scores from Eastwood and Jason Quinn extended the lead further, however Stewartstown were always in the hunt and a deflected goal minutes from the end left just a goal between the sides. The teams did swap scores in the closing stages with Brian Mulligan finding the target for Cookstown and the Rocks held on for a hard earned victory on a scoreline of 2-13 to 1-13. There were some excellent performances from Cookstown with Ryan Pickering superb at linking the play from defence, as well as Jason Quinn and the outstanding Christopher Eastwood in attack. The Fr Rocks team lined out as follows. M Rea, R Pickering, P McGurk, C O'Hare, S McGarrity (0-1), B Hughes, G Fitzpatrick, C Mullan (0-1), B O'Neill (0-1), B Mulligan (0-1), Barry Mulligan, D Casey (0-2), C Eastwood (2-4,1free), J Quinn (0-3), M Murray. Subs: J Gilmore for C Mullan.
Reserve Victory
The reserves had another excellent victory over Stewartstown on a scoreline of 0-6 to 1-10. A Stephen Doyle goal midway through the second half finished the game as a contest. There were good performances throughout the field with Stephen Doyle superb and Ruairi Scullin excellent in defence.

In the second half the Rocks dominated and got to within a goal of the hosts, who eventually pulled away in the closing stages to win on a scoreline of 4-12 to 3-7. This was an excellent second half display from a very youthful team most of whom have two or three years remaining at this level. The team lined out as follows; G McElhatton, B Kelly, S Gribben, S Hughes, S McGarrity, R Pickering, D O'Neill, N Bell, D Casey, S Doyle, M Carberry, O'McNia, T O'Neill, M Carron, N Casey.

Derrylaughan Kevin Barry's
The Senior team continued on their winning ways with a hard fought for two points over Pomeroy on a score line of 1-12 to 11 points. Strong in defence were Malachy Quinn and Eamon Brady with Marty Mc Stravog leading the attack scoring with 1-03. Other scorers were Fergal Mc Aliskey 0-6, Ciaran Gervin 0-1, Micky Mc Cuskey 0-1 and Ciaran Quinn 0-1. The Reserves lost their first game of the league to Pomeroy and play the Rock in the Championship on Saturday 20th June at 6pm in Derrylaughan.
The U21's grabbed their first two points of the qualification series of games for the championship on Wednesday evening past with an excellent away win over Eglish. The St Patricks started well registering two points before Derrylaughan replied with a point by Ciaran O'Hagan from a good move involving Gareth Coary, Seamus Mc Cann and Fergal Mc Aliskey. These three men were to stamp their authority on the game with a point each from Gareth and Seamus, and a goal from Fergal Mc Alsikey following a ball well worked out from corner back Conor Gervin. These scores were accompanied by an excellent solo attack and raise of the white flag through Liam Gervin. Fergal added another point from play and a change to the mid-field saw Ronan O'Hagan off and Conor Coary entering the fray.
Some great fielding by Gerard Mc Aliskey and strong defending by Malachy Quinn followed only for Eglish to win a penalty twenty mins into the half. An excellent save by keeper Michael Mc Grath saw the Barry's on the counter attack with the result an impressive build up involving Gareth Coary and Cathal Cushnahan and a well taken goal by Fergal Mc Aliskey. Eglish replied with two points under pressure just before the half, alongside a missed goal opportunity by the Barry's and a well fisted point, again by Gareth Coary. Derrylaughan entered the second half leading 2-05 to 0-4. On the restart Fergal added another point from play to his tally with Eglish responding with two of their own. Liam Gervin then converted the first of two frees he was to point in the second half as well as scoring another from play. Gareth Coary pressed forward again and brought his tally to three points for the day. Eglish were always on the back foot in this half and could only muster two more points before the final whistle with Fergal yet again adding another point from play to see the Barry's through on a score-line of 2-11 to 0-9. A speedy recovery is wished for Gerard Mc Aliskey who injured his ankle in the game. The next Game is against Ardboe at 7.30pm on Monday 22nd June.
U16 training is on Tuesday at 6.30 with a game away to Coalisland at 7.15pm on Thursday evening. Well done again to the U14's who completed the double with a great win over Kildress in the Team Talk League Cup in Edendork. Kildress started the stronger with their first number of attacks racking up 1-01 and Derrylaughan replying through an excellent solo effort and score by wing half-forward Darragh Quinn. Despite Jack Ryan producing a great block and Conor Mc Cabe steady under the high ball the Barry's defence struggled to curb the Kildress attack and conceded another two points. David Campbell responded with a point and then had a shot on goal denied by the excellent Shaun Mc Namee in nets for Kildress. Just prior to the save the Barry's aided by the upright twice denied Kildress both a goal and point. Steven Mc Grath then converted after a foul on corner forward Shea Gordon and the brilliant Peter Symmington added a point from play to the proceedings only to see Kildress shortly win a penalty at the other half and go ahead 2-3 to 0-4 up. Number 9 Johnny Connolly and number 10 Calum Loughran were swaying the game in favour of Kildress with the later adding a point to the affair before the end of the half. They were again supported by another excellent save from Mc Namee following a good shot on goal by Steven Mc Grath.
The Barry's were then the first to register in the second half with a good score from a free by Stephen Mc Grath. Caolon Gordon then stood up to the test with a great save from yet another penalty for the Wolf Tones. The counter attack that followed saw Sean Caoi set up Stephen for another point from play having moved into full forward and then Liam Donnelly, who was to drop back into defence, set up Mc Grath again for yet another point. Some good defending from Gabriel Coary and Jack Donnelly alongside two more Steven Mc Grath points reduced the deficit to one point 15mins into the second half. With Sean Caoi pressing forward and winning a free in the full-forward line and Steven Mc Grath again splitting the post from far out on the right wing the Barry's really started to get to grips with the game and entertain their supporters as they have done so many times before in both the league and championship! Shea Gordon opened his account and put the Barry's ahead with a 30 yard attack forward and point from play after a great ball in from Conor Mc Cabe. An intercepted ball by Gordon in nets at the other side following a Kildress attack and was then worked up the field through Campbell and Symmington and finished to the back of the net exquisitely by yet again Steven Mc Grath!
Good support play by Tomas Carney and another free converted by Mc Grath put Derrylaughan six points up only for Kildress to get yet another penalty and a goal with only 5mins to go! Steven Mc Grath replied with another point from play. Conor Mc Cabe left the action only briefly as blood sub Gavin Corr entered the play. Kildress stepped up the pressure with a point from number 10 again but some tenacious Derrylaughan defending saw them secure yet another impressive victory on a score-line of 1-14 to 3-06. The boys were presented with the League Shield and celebrated with their very own version of the 'Haka' much to the delight of their management and supporters! The club would again like to thank the management team of John Joe Coney, Sean Mc Alsikey and Sean Robinson for all their hard work. Well Done to all involved!
