Best of luck to James Mealiff, fellow team-mate Dermot Gleeson and the County minor team who face Tyrone in the first round of the Ulster Minor championship in Park Esler Newry this Saturday evening. This is a repeat of last year’s momentous final and a similar result will do nicely. This is going to be difficult for the lads with a strong Tyrone support guaranteed. Please come along and support James and the county team. Tickets available with our main U12’s and U14’s sponsor SuperValu Clones.
Congratulations to Ella Daly and Conor Reilly who were awarded scholarships to Colaiste Bhride Rann na Feirste by Coiste Chontae Mhuineachain CLG

Home advantage and the support of a great crowd in the field yielded another fantastic victory for this hardworking Clones, Eire Óg amalgamation, final score in Clones St.Tiarnach’s 3:15 Truagh 1:12. This win puts St.Tiarnachs at the top of the table and with a break now until 8th July some of the lads can take a well deserved break, others will be working hard in their exams and we wish them well.
