Frankie Duffy - Unsung Hero
Congratulations to Frankie Duffy who is An Mhaigh G.A.C.'s Unsung Hero for the month of March. After marking the occasion of his birthday last week, this accolade will now give Frankie further cause for celebration!
As one of our honorary Presidents and longest serving club officials, it is great to see Frankie still going strong and working as hard as ever for the betterment of his beloved T'r na nÓgs. Even after half a century's involvement with the Moy club, President Duffy is still taking photographs, collecting vital club information, selling merchandise, attending meetings, acting as steward at club events and match days, organising club Masses, liaising with our Priests and other important community representatives, and continuing to improve the image of our club.
These few words could never do justice to a man who has given a life-time service to gaelic games in the Moy. Known the length and breadth of Tyrone, and with friends across many parts of Ulster and Ireland, he represents all that is good about the GAA. In the eyes of many people, Frankie Duffy is Mister An Mhaigh T'r na nÓg G.A.C.
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.

Brendan Rafferty, chairman, welcomed all players and parents to the presentation and hailed the success that the youth teams had achieved last year; Boys U-16 Grade 4 League, Girls U-16 Grade 1 League and Championship and Minor Grade 1 Championship. Without doubt the aforementioned groups of players brought great honour to the club last year, but the rest of our very talented youth teams were not forgotten with every age group receiving deserved recognition for the time and effort they invested all season. All managers were also commended for their dedication to their respective teams and we are thankful to them for guiding their teams so well. Thanks also to the parents of all our youth players for the part they play in ensuring their children are always so keen to represent our club in the green and white jersey. The various individual award winners on the evening were; U-14 Boys: Nathan Breen. U-16 Boys: Eoghain Donaghy. U-18 Boys: Barry Mulgrew. U-14 Girls: Emma-Louise Mulgrew. U-16 Girls: Ursla Magee.

A special word of thanks and small presentation were made to Ciaran Gourley Tyrone Mens senior, Claire Scullion Tyrone Ladies senior & Cill Iseal and Brenda Mellon of the Tyrone Ladies County Board for making the numerous presentations and for their kind words as well. Thanks are also extended to ladies who prepared and served the tea and refreshments making it a very enjoyable night for all indeed.

During the course of the Youth Night Eugene Monaghan, Youth Officer, made reference to the GAA's 'Gaelic Start' programme. This is a programme pioneered by the Ulster Council and is aimed at childen aged 5-8 and their parents/guardians to introduce them to gaelic games. The children can start to learn the basics of the games while the adults can become involved in coaching the game. This is a very worthwile initiative and takes place in the community centre. Anyone who requires any information regarding 'Gaelic Start' times and dates please contact Eugene.
