All Ireland Semi-Final. Christopher Mc Kenna(D) & Terry Mc Elvaney’s U21 All Ireland Semi-final against Killian Carroll and Patrick Herilry from Cork was cancelled last week and is now fixed for tomorrow (Friday) in Tydavnet @ 4pm, this should be a cracker of a game, let’s hope the boys come out on the right end of the result, we know this game is not being played at a very convenient time for people at work but all support would be appreciated.

All Ireland Final. There is still no word on Michael Mc Carron’s “Diamond Masters A Singles” All Ireland final but we think it is on the 1st weekend in April but as of yet we have no confirmation, but when we get date time and venue we will be published all the details.

Junior County Final. Eamon Todd’s Junior Final has been fixed for Friday evening the 5th of April in Tydavnet @ 8pm where he takes on Conor O Gorman from Carrickmacross, good luck Eamon, so travel up and show your support.

Senior County Final. For the first time in a few years we have a player playing in the Senior Championship final, Padraig Mc Kenna defeated James Cavagan last weekend in St.Mellans and will now play the very experienced Terry Keirnan from Carrickmacross also on Friday night @9pm in Tydavnet, so again lets travel and show our support for our both players on the night.

Adult County Doubles Final. We have several sets of players in county finals at their grade, in Nov4 we have an all club affair as Brian Mc Kenna(O) & Aidan Kerr take on Todd Bros LTD in Gary and Christopher, this should be a hell for leather affair and one not to be missed, we can fix this game ourselves within the club when it suits both sets of players, we will send out a text and advertise when we arrange the game, in Nov 2 Darrin O Reilly and Paul Mc Kenna(O) have made the final where they face a strong Corduff pairing, but one of the Corduff players is injured at the moment, and in Nov1 Michael Treanor & Ian Treanor have reached the summit where they will take Cormac Sherry & Paul Cassidy from Tydavnet, but Paul is also injured and this game will be delayed, but if both players shake off their injuries both games may be played off on the same night.

Juvenile County Doubles. A list of the doubles both girls & boys that are entered into the county doubles for our juveniles is on display at both alleys so keep practicing as this will be the last juvenile outing of the year, these games will be played off very soon so keep going and try and go out on a high boys and girls.

GAA Leagues. Hard luck to our “A” team as they lost the semi-final last week to Corduff, first into the alley was Darrin where he won both games 21-16, 21-12, then in were the doubles of Kevin & Declan, they shared games winning the first 21-16 but lost the second 9-21, then finally in was Paul O, he lost the first 7-21, and when the lights went out he was 13-18 down and the game was over, hard luck to the team on the night and well done to all you reached the semi which included Damien Mc Clave, the “B” team are playing this week (Wednesday night) against Tydavnet good luck boys.

County Juvenile Teams. We have 4 players in the U14/U15 & U16/U17 county teams, in the U14/U15 Gary Mc Kenna, Aaron & Ryan Mohan play Tyrone in the Ulster Semi-final on the 1st of April in Eugene Quinns of Armagh, good there boys, and Gary Treanor(T) in part of the U16/U17 team which are through to the All Ireland series later in the month, good luck to everyone.

Adult Club Competitions. There are now fixtures up for all both sections in the club doubles competitions, the High House and the Coalisland Fireplace Doubles have been emailed out and are on the notice board in St.Mellans, please keep all the games played up to date as much as possible, the singles are now reaching semi-final and final stages and we also ask keep games played on time, thank you.
