Edendork St Malachy's The seniors pulled off another great win on Saturday in the League over Moortown. This result now leaves us in a relegation play off against Tattyreagh on Saturday at 2:00pm in Killeeshil. The team approached the game against Moortown knowing how imperative it was to win, defeat would have meant relegation. However the team had been playing with some confidence after winning two in a row in the previous weeks and despite some early nerves and numerous wides, the team held their composure and eventually ran out winners by 0-13 to 0-6. Scorers on the day were Karl McGuckin 0-03, David Toner 0-03, Joe McGuckin 0-02, Niall Morgan 0-02, Peter Mallon, Justin Corr and Sean O'Connor 0-01 each. This play off will decide if we stay in Division 2 football next year or drop down into Junior football. This is the most important game in the recent history of senior football in the club. Support on the day would be very much appreciated.

An Chárraig Mhór The Senior game against Errigal Ciaran was called off last Saturday due to the sudden and untimely death of our esteemed club member Jimmy Quinlivan. It will now be played at 7.45 on Wednesday 19th Nov at home. The community as a whole was deeply shocked by the death of Jimmy who played a full and active part in many facets of life in the parish. As a player with St Colmcilles he enjoyed his time on the pitch immensely. He later went on to serve on the committee were his humour kept all in high spirits. As a dedicated supporter his voice was one of the most recognisable in the crowd with his timely interjections spurring on many of us when the 'chips were down'. His passing has been met with great sadness by all who had the privilege of knowing him. The club extends our deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Congratulations to all those who made it through to the final of Scór na Nóg which includes the dancers in both the céili and the sets : Alanagh McGarrity, Megan Kelly, Eimear Kelly, Ursula McKernan, Orla Mullan, Aisling Mullan, Aileen Fox and Grace Fox and the quiz team; Brid Ni Cheara, James Ghent and Patrick McElroy.

Organisers of the big Centenary Gala Night are this week putting the final touches to their preparations for what promises to be a truly memorable and historic occasion. Hundreds of An Mhaigh Gaels, many of whom will be travelling from various parts of the world, have accepted the invitation to attend this Black Tie Gala Dinner and are all eager to be a part of this major celebration. They will be joined by an array of special guests who will include GAA President Nicky Brennan, Tyrone County Board Chairman Pat Darcy, Cork's Railway Cup star Nicholas Murphy, as well as our four All-Ireland winning heroes - Colm and Sean Cavanagh, Philip Jordan and Ryan Mellon. Proceedings will commence at 6.30pm with a drinks reception at the entrance to the Fisher Suite.

Gerry Donnelly, former P.R.O. for the Derry County Board, will be Master of Ceremonies for an event which will be a fitting celebration of our club's 100th birthday. Senior ACL Division 2 Clann na nGael 1-7 An Mhaigh 1-10 An Mhaigh senior footballers travelled to the home of league leaders Clann na nGael, last Sunday afternoon, knowing that anything less than a victory would end their division two title hopes. A large Moy following made the long trip to Aughabrack and they were not to be disappointed as their team recorded an impressive three point victory. It may have been a bright and pleasant day for football, but conditions underfoot were very heavy and turned this game into a war of attrition at times. Thankfully, the Moy men were up for the challenge and they displayed tremendous battling qualities from the start to come out on top against tough opposition. Notable absentees included All-Stars Philip Jordan (Moy) and Brian Dooher (Clann na nGael), but it was An Mhaigh's greater strength in depth which won the day in an absorbing encounter. The visitors were on top for much of the first half, playing some of their best football of the season. Not even a well worked goal by Clann na nGael in the 8th minute, which saw them lead for the first and only time in the game, could put Mattie McGleenan's charges off their stride. Points from Sean Cavanagh (3 frees), Karol McQuade (2 frees) and Ryan Mellon had their team 0-6 to 1-0 in front by the start of the second quarter. Things got even better for Moy after 21 minutes when Colm Cavanagh palmed the ball to the net following a terrific move involving Ryan O'Neill, Brendan Kelly, Tommy McNicholl, Colm Jordan, Karol McQuade and Sean Cavanagh. With full back Francie McQuade keeping close tabs on Clans' ace attacker Stevie O'Neill at the other end, the T??r na n?ìgs continued to grow in confidence and added a further point from the boot of wing back Padraig Laverty to lead 1-7 to 1-2 at half-time. An Mhaigh had to withstand a strong Clann na nGael onslaught in the third quarter, and there were a few worried faces among the sizeable travelling support when a succession of close range free-kicks reduced the deficit to just two points midway through the half. Moy's only reply during that period was another well struck placed kick by Sean Cavanagh, but fears of a collapse subsided when Colm Cavanagh and substitute Tommy Conlon both fired over crucial points at the start of the final quarter. Some determined defending by Brendan Kelly and company restricted Clann na nGael to just one more score - a pointed free with just three minutes remaining - as the Sky Blues held out for a crucial 1-10 to 1-7 victory. This was another excellent team performance by Moy and one which further raises hopes of winning some much needed silverware at the end of the season. Team & Scorers: Barry Gribbin; Brendan Kelly, Francie McQuade, Mark Donnelly; Padraig Laverty (0-1), Mark Jordan, Tommy McNicholl; Niall Conlon and Ryan Mellon (0-1); Kris Kavanagh, Karol McQuade (0-2, 2 frees), Colm Jordan; Ryan O'Neill, Sean Cavanagh (capt, 0-4, 4 frees), Colm Cavanagh (1-1, 1 free). Subs used: Tommy Conlon (37 mins, 0-1), Peter Mallon (46 mins). Other Subs: Ciaran Conroy, Martin Conroy, Adam Currie, Mark Currie, James Devlin, Neil Donaghy, Conall Duffy, Adrian Jordan, Niall Kelly and Philip McQuade. League Record: Played 11, Won 9, Drawn 0, Lost 2, Points 18. Remaining Fixtures: v Eskra (away) this Saturday 22nd November at 2.00pm; v Derrylaughan in MUSA, Cookstown on Friday 28th November at 7.45pm; v Gortin (home); v Trillick (home). The league crown and a subsequent return to senior ranks are now in Moy's own hands. However, to be sure of success, the T??r na n?ìg players must win all four of their remaining matches. Good Luck Eunan Good luck to Moy juvenile team captain Eunan Deeney who will be lining out for St Patrick's Academy, Dungannon in the final of the Rannafast Cup this Saturday. The big game takes place in Lissan at 11.30am when St Pius, Magherafelt will provide the opposition for Eunan and his Academy team-mates. Youth Presentation This year's An Mhaigh G.A.C. Youth Presentation will be held in Moy Parochial Hall on the evening of Friday 12th December. Watch this space for further details. *********  Colin Mackle (P.R.O.) Clann Na nGael Ladies Football The club was once again celebrating silverware at the weekend as the Senior Ladies mirrored the U16's and added the League shield to the Championship trophy won earlier in the season. The girls easily defeated Kildress at Carrickmore on Sunday morning on a scoreline of 6-13 to 0-03. An incredible team performance built on a massive work rate brushed aside a fancied Kildress side. Congratulations to everyone involved with the team. That triumph completes a great season for ladies football at the club, with 5 trophies over all age groups now secured in the cabinet, lets hope a well due rest means everyone comes back next year fit and hungry for more success. Mens Football The men were defeated last Sunday at home to Moy by 1-10 to 1-07. In what was an entertaining match Moy's county men had just a little too much for a battling Clann side. The lads now have only Trillick to play and are still on course to win the League. The Trillick game may well be weeks away as the opponents continue to do well in the Ulster Championship.

After a hard fought second half Cookstown came away empty handed on a scoreline of 0-7 to 0-11. The Fr Rocks opened the scoring in the first minute of the game when John Gilmore converted a free. Despite this early score Cookstown started the game slowly and it was Dromore who dominated the early period racing into a six point lead after twenty minutes. An Owen Mulligan free did attempt to stop the onslaught, however Dromore added another score just before the break. Cookstown never got going in the first half and left themselves with a huge task in the second period. In the second half Cookstown looked up for the challenge, the introduction of Mulligan, Mulgrew and Fitzpatrick added extra impetus to the team. Scores from Brian O'Neill and Martin Murray offered them hope, and an Owen Mulligan converted free brought them right back into contention. Two scores by Raymond Mulgrew left just three points in the contest in the final ten minutes. Cookstown by this stage were on top all over the field but failed to convert the possession into scores. In the final minute Dromore produced a well worked score to finish the Cookstown challenge. The Rocks were left disappointed and contemplating what might have been. The poor start undoubtedly cost them the game. Cookstown now go into next weeks league encounter against Clonoe knowing that only a victory will do. Despite this defeat there were some superb performances from the Rocks. Brian Kelly was superb throughout the game and Ryan Pickering was excellent in attack. The Fr Rocks team lined out as follows; D McGuckin, B Kelly S Monaghan, P McGurk, C O'Hare, B Hughes, Philip Kelly, B O'Neill (0-1), Paddy Kelly, B Mulligan, J Gilmore (0-1 free), M Murray (0-1 free), C Mullan, R Pickering. Subs: O Mulligan (0-2 1free), R Mulgrew (0-2), G Fitzpatrick, M Hughes Senior Fixture Cookstown play Clonoe this Sunday with a 1pm throw in time. This is the final game of a long season for the Rocks. A win is a must in order to try and avoid relegation so a big crowd id expected at Paddy Cullen Park.
