Blackhill
U21’s
Emerald Sarsfields have been drawn against St. John’s Belfast (Antrim Champions) in the quarter final of the Ulster championship. The tie will most probably take place on the first Sunday in February. Now that the draw is made the clock is well and truly ticking! This is a unique and history making venture for both clubs and is being eagerly anticipated by all concerned. The legendary Pete McGrath the man who led County Down to All Ireland glory in 1991 & 1994 will be at the helm for Bryansford who take on Cavan Gaels while Naomh Conaill from Donegal boasting All Ireland winner Dermot ‘Brick’ Molloy will await the winners of Ballinderry (Derry) and Donagh (Fermanagh) from the preliminary round. Tyrone will play Armagh in the final quarter final pairing. All ties will be played at host club Creggan Kickhams in County Antrim.
County Minors
Congratulations to Michael Geehan on making the county minor football squad. We are sure he will bring his mercurial talent to bare and be a huge addition to that team.
Get Well Soon
Best wishes to minor and U21 player Tony Forde who is recovering from injury at the moment.
