Photos of Maghery GAC, Co. Armagh (mentioned a few pages back in this thread) which is situated on Derrywarragh Island



In the above photo the Maghery club is the area surrounded by trees - the river Blackwater runs along the west end and Maghery Cut along the south side of the pitch, with Lough Neagh surrounding the rest of the Island. The remains of O'Connors Stronghold is just about visible at the north east of the island (bottom of the photo). To the east of the Blackwater is Armagh, to the west is Tyrone... Derrywarragh is safely in Armagh territory!



The club's grounds can be seen more clearly in the above photograph, taken from the opposite end of the island.

These photos were originally on the now defunct loughshorepartnership.com website, and would appear to have been taken 4 or 5 years ago.

I thought this might be of interest to Armagh and Tyrone posters - old cine footage of an Armagh v Tyrone game from the opening of St Mary's GAA Park, Maghery on 9th August 1956 has been added to the Maghery website:

Armagh Harps fans might spot Jack Bratten from Armagh 1953 All-Ireland team.

A crowd of about 5,000 people turned up for the official opening!

I have an excel spreadsheet that I created to do exactly what you need.

The way I have it setup it will be easy to customise to suit your own requirements.

I can also provide some sample ASP code to query the spreadsheet and display as a HTML.
