Eilis O'Neill & Anne Conlon - Unsung Heroes
Congratulations to Eilis O'Neill and Anne Conlon who are An Mhaigh G.A.C.'s Unsung Heroes for the month of February. Fervent supporters of all club activities, both on and off the field of play, these two respected and well-liked sisters are probably best known for their long-standing involvement with ladies football in the Moy.
Along with Pat Murren back in 1999, Eilis and Anne were responsible for the establishment of ladies football in this part of Tyrone. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength with the numbers of underage players increasing steadily every year. Ladies football has become an integral part of An Mhaigh G.A.C. and that is due in no small part to the dedication and ongoing efforts of our latest unsung heroes.
As well as carrying out administrative duties, the pair have also served as County Board delegates and attended countless meetings for the betterment of ladies football in the Moy. The O'Neill and Conlon families are all heavily involved in the club, and Eilis and Anne's continued support and enthusiasm for gaelic games make them worthy winners of this month's accolade.
If you would like to nominate anyone for our club's Unsung Hero of the Month, please contact myself or any member of the club committee. Please state the name of the person who you wish to nominate and the reason for your choice.

The preparations for the club Celebration Banquet on Saturday 27th February in the Armagh City Hotel are gathering speed. A great nights entertainment is anticipated with plans being made to recognise the following and more; Ladies football in Cill Iseal reaching somewhat of a mile-stone in 10 very successful years in existence, not least last season which delivered an U-16 Grade 1 League and Championship double, U-18 Grade 1 Championship and a Senior Intermediate League and Championship double thus gaining promotion to the Senior grade for the first time. Kevin Hughes also had a 2009 to remember and his brilliant performances that seen him pick up some prestigious awards will also be a main feature of the event. 'Hub' has always been a fine ambassador for our club throughout his career and it would be fitting that we all turn out in large numbers to remember his achievements in his finest year in the Tyrone colours to date. Getting in on the act as well our U-16 boys deservedly claimed some silverware for their efforts winning a Leauge title with some thrilling performances along the way. There will also be various presentations on the night including, Players of the Year for Mens and Ladies teams etc. Some other points of note are; there will be a wine/soft-drinks reception, 3-course meal, live band and dress code will be Black-tie.
