Fundamentals is now changed to football for P1 & P2 boys and girls in the Community Centre on Thursday (25th) night from 7 > 8 pm. Football continues at the same time on Thursday (25th) night for U8s boys (P3 & P4), for U10 boys (P5 & P6) and for U12 boys (P7 and Year 8). Last Saturday (20th) our U8 boys made the short journey to Donaghmore for a blitz. We were able to field 2 teams. Team A played Carrickmore, Aghaloo and Trillick, with Team B playing Carrickmore, Trillick and Donaghmore. Both teams won a game each against some strong opposition. All the hard work on the training field is paying off, as the boys showed some good skills and determination. Thanks to Donaghmore for a well organized event and for the hospitality afterwards. There is an U10 boys blitz this Saturday (27th) morning, venue TBC.

 

Girls U8 (P3 and P4) and U10 (P5 and P6) training continues this Wednesday (24th) from 6>7 pm.

 

Despite a spirited performance, our U14 girls suffered defeat at the hands of Errigal Ciaran on Monday (22nd) night in the league. However there were some very positive performances and great improvements all round. Next up is Donaghmore this Thursday (25th) night in the Championship Quarter Final at 7 pm in Donaghmore. All support is much appreciated.

 

The U14 boys are training this week on Thursday (25th) from 6 >7 pm.

 

The minor girls have a Championship Semi-Final this Friday (26th) against Carrickmore at home in Killeeshil - come out and support these young hoops!! The senior ladies play Clann Na Gael on Sunday evening at 7.45 pm. It's an away fixture. Match details for both games at training on Wednesday (24th) from 7 > 8 pm.

 

Our minor boys were well beaten by a very strong Galbally team last Tuesday (16th). Next game is on Friday week (2nd June) away 2 Dungannon.

 

The senior & reserve men travelled to Beragh on Sunday (21st) missing alot of regular starters due to exams and injuries. The senior game were out first this week and after a lacklustre performance they fell to a heavy defeat, final score Killeeshil 0-9 Beragh 6-14. After the completion of that game, it was the turn of our reserve side to face their Beragh counterparts and after an entertaining game, our boys claimed victory with a hard working performance from everyone all over the pitch, final score = Killeeshil 1-18 Beragh 1-12. Training this week is on Tuesday and Friday at 7.30 pm. Our reserve team compete in the preliminary round of the reserve championship this Saturday (27th) versus Killyman in Killyman at 6.30 pm. All support is much appreciated for our men.

 

Good news for all the women in our club as Gaelic for mothers and others is starting up again. We would like to recruit more new playing members. Everyone interested please note training begins at 8.30 pm this Wednesday (24th) May.

 

Congratulations to Emer McElroy and her teammates on the Tyrone U14 ladies team who claimed the Ulster last Saturday (20th) by defeating Antrim in Magherafelt.

 

Congratulations also to the Stevenson Twins, Shannon and Shauna and Bronagh McKenna and their Tyrone minor teammates who recorded an emphatic 30 point win over Armagh last Sunday (21st) to seal the Ulster Minor A Championship at Lisnaskea.

 

Good luck to both the Tyrone minor lads & the senior men who start their Ulster Championship campaigns V Derry in Celtic Park this Sunday the 28th of May.
