Seniors/ Reserves
The all county league continued on Saturday night when both teams travelled to Rock. In the reserve game, a much better performance by the team saw us in contention for the whole game, however, we just couldnít manage to get that equalising score and we were defeated by a point. This was a much improved performance from the previous weeks and hopefully the improvement can continue in to our next few games. In the senior match, it was nip and tuck the whole way through the game but we managed to come out on top by two points after a very hard working display from all the team. This week the seniors have an away game against Urney. All players must make the effort to attend training this week.

Stewartstown then took control and made full use of the wind advantage to open up a comfortable lead before points from Peter O'Neill and Michael Cassidy reduced the margin at half time to nine points. Stewartstown then scored an early goal in the second half to leave Ardboe with an uphill struggle, but a string of fine points from David Mulgrew, Michael Lynn and Oliver Mallaghan helped to reduce the margin, but it wasn't enough. Despite the defeat, the lads held their heads high after the game, with fine performances from Eddie Sheeky and Kevin Coney in the defence.
