In the 1960s under the leadership of Sheridan and Dunning it was most definitely Academics over Football. BTW that did not suit the less gifted children like me.😇

when is the Hogan semi final?

The Gs Man · March 27, 2018, 03:23:42 PM

St.Ronan's play tomorrow.

Harold Disgracey · March 28, 2018, 03:24:02 PM

St Ronan's won 2-10 to 1-10!

Rois · March 28, 2018, 03:28:00 PM

Brilliant - well done St Ronan's.

Some achievement for St. Ronan's .... a Hogan Cup Final!

Holy Trinity Cookstown are 4-8 to 2-8 up against Kenmare in the intermediate (don't know the name of this comp) schools semi. Ten mins left.

Delighted for St.Ronan's!

We had some great wins at St.Pauls/St.Michael's (before the amalgamation), but this is on another level!

9 clubmates on the panel too. Some day for the parish!

Well done St Ronan's. Luckily got to see some of it on Youtube while pretending to do work

Played well. Big physical team.

Out of interest how many of the Tyrone AI U17 winning team from last year is on that Tyrone school team?

Tyrone: L Quinn, A Fox, M McCusker, C Ward, R Slane, C Munroe, T Quinn (0-1), M Murnaghan, J Oguz (0-1), C Donaghy (0-2, 1f), D Canavan (1-3), D Millar (0-3), E Jordan (0-5, 3f), C Donnelly, T Hoy. Subs: O McHugh (0-1) for Slane, M Hayes (1-0) for Hoy, M Conroy (0-2) for Donnelly, R McCabe for Jordan, L Gray for Donaghy

Holy Trinity Cookstown: C Loane, D Canavan, T Quinn, T McNamee, O Mulgrew, C Donnelly (1-0), M McKearney, E Gallagher, P Lagan, K Robinson (0-1), E Devlin, S Murphy (2-1), T Quinn (0-1), Tiernan Mackle (1-1), M Devlin (0-3). Subs: A Moore for Devlin, C Quinn for Robinson, C McGarrity for Murphy, Thomas Mackle (1-0) for Lagan, S Bradley for Gallagher, T Dorris for Mackle

These are both teams, not a massive overlap. Maybe two or three. The D Canavan for HTC is not Darragh.

Good article although I'm not sure if I agree with its description of Lurgan as a town best known for soccer. There's about 5 GAA clubs in the town (4 football, 1 hurling), more in the neighbouring countryside. The GAA has always had a huge presence there.

It would be known as more of a soccer town though. Or at least GAA wouldn't have been the no.1 priority for a lot of young people. The tide seems to be turning and long may it continue.
