12 months have passed since our esteemed Chairperson, Magee's untimely passing, and yet we can still remember so vividly the shock we felt that day. Our club teams are flat out around the county and plans are afoot for further club development. But one thing's for sure, it isn't the same without his trusty input and his absence is felt in everything we do.
As Magee would want - we've to get down to business, to drive St. Michael's on together.
Seniors:
The lads registered a great win against Killean, with Pearse Woods finishing with 1-05, and Charlie Rock and James Toner also nabbing goals. Final score was 3-19 - 0-06. Special mention to Pearse Woods, who was chosen by The Sideline Eye as part of their Team of the Week after that match.
It was a tale of two games as such, as Ballyhegan proved much too superior at the weekend. The hosts ran out comfortable winners, displaying how they've earned their promotion to Div.2 next season.
We'll head into Sunday's Preliminary Quarter-final against Dorsey with a determination to bounce back to winning ways.
Get those St. Michael's threads on and bring the noise to Cullyhanna - remember, tickets must be purchased online!
Minors:
Congratulations to the Minors who won the Championship Shield Final against Ballymacnab, 3-13 to 2-05. See Clubzap for the news article on that match, 👏 Brilliant stuff, lads! We're delighted your dedication all season has paid off, and eyes turn to the DVAL 16 Minor 7-Aside Tournament in a couple of weeks.
U14 Boys:
The U14s had a good run out at the Peter John Caraher 9-a-side Tournament in St. Patrick's, Cullyhanna on Saturday past. They played Silverbridge, Cross IIs and Killeavy in the Group stages. They were narrowly beaten by Silverbridge in a tight game, and then overcame Cross IIs. In the last group game, they were beaten by a strong Killeavy team.
Despite a gallant effort, the lads were beaten by Granemore in the Shield semi-final, who went on to win the final. The lads put a great display on and represented their clubs with vigour.
U14 Girls:
These girls will be in action in Clady this weekend at the Tommy McLaughlin Blitz - enjoy your day!
U12 Boys:
After a trip to St. Paul's in Lurgan, where the faced a strong host side, these lads welcomed Clann Eireann to Newtown on Saturday. They played brilliantly as a team, with slick passing and nice scores taken. Well done boys - next up, it's away to Shane O'Neills.
U12 Girls:
The U12 girls will play Culloville in a challenge match this Thursday.
U10 Boys & U10 Girls:
Both teams played Belleek last week in damp and dreary conditions. That didn't deter them though, and the competition was fierce as was the defending! This was a good challenge for the boys & girls, and they played with great enthusiasm.
Thank you to Patsy Finnegan for the photos, more can be found on the Club Belleeks GAC Facebook page.
U6 / 8 Boys & Girls:
These lads & lassies are training hard, keep it up 💪
G4MOs:
The G4MOs returned to the pitch after a summer break, and welcomed Oram to Newtown. The match was played in great spirits and was a good run out in preparation for the Mullaghbawn Blitz in a few weeks!
Congratulations to Michael Rock who, not to be outdone by his nephew Phelim, secured his own silverware as Ulster Veterans B Road Bowls Champion. Well done 👏
