Club Notes: September 19th

Winning numbers in the Lottsodoo were 3, 9, 19, 24, 28 and Kathleen Toner won £100. The jackpot remains at £5,000 for next week’s draw which takes place as usual at the Bingo in the Parish Centre on Monday night.
The club shop will be open tomorrow night, Thursday, between 7:00 and 8:00pm.
Tír Eoghain had mixed fortunes at the weekend with the Masters losing in the All Ireland Final to Dublin and the Ladies going to Dublin to beat Meath.
Well done to our Masters representatives Paul Sweeney and Gary McKenna and to joint manager Eugene Bradley. They performed well and just fell short by two points.
The Ladies swept to the All Ireland title with a clear victory over Meath in Páirc an Chrócaigh. Comhghairdeas to our own Caitlin Kelly on winning an All Ireland medal. It was a time of mixed emotions for Caitlin with her granny dying only ten weeks ago and her grandfather buried just last Friday before her All Ireland success on Sunday. She also had a birthday to celebrate at the weekend. Mixed emotions indeed. Well done also to Antoinette McCusker who has done so much for Ladies Football at both club and county level.
On Saturday we are hosting the two County Junior Football semi-finals. On the playing front we have to go to tournaments in the Moy and Glenullin for U8 and U10 boys and to a minor boys’ football championship game in Carrickmore. So, we will be stretched to the limit to steward the games in Ballinamullan. If you can help at any time please come along between 11:30 and 4:00pm. First game is timed for 1:00pm and the second at 2:30pm.
Well done to Brian McAleer who last weekend was crowned the Ulster 60 x 30 Under 17 Handball Champion.
The U16 girls had a good win over Loughmacrory last week and are home to Trillick tomorrow night, Thursday, at 6:15pm.
We also have the not so small matter of an opening game in the men’s Senior Football Championship against Derrylaughan on Sunday in Galbally at 2:30pm. Your support will be much appreciated.
Sincere sympathy to the family circle of the late Mrs Frances Quinn, Mullaghmore. An Irish speaker, she was a quiet person and a real lady. Go ndéanaí Dia trócaire uirthi.
