Lotto: There were 9 Match 3 winners from last week’s draw on Monday 9th August, the winning combination of numbers drawn being 5, 7, 13 and 15.

Adult Football: It was a disappointing weekend for adult teams as all three games played ended in defeat. On Friday last, the Reserves hosted Ardboe in the Championship Quarter – Final and despite entering the game as significant underdogs turned in a great performance which very nearly got them their just rewards. Despite playing with a significant breeze in the first period Donaghmore were unable to translate this on the scoreboard and led by the narrowest of margins at half – time. However a super second – half performance put them in pole position as the game entered injury time before Ardboe equalised to force the tie into extra – time. Tiredness began to show on both teams as more and more mistakes were made, and it was eventually Ardboe who capitalised on their share of turnovers to win on a 1-11 to 1-09 score line. On Sunday both Reserves and Seniors hosted Carrickmore in the League but neither could continue on from their League wins on the previous weekend. The Reserves had a tight game throughout and eventually were defeated by 1-16 to 3-06. In the Senior game Carrickmore stormed out of the blocks and led at half – time by 1-10 to 0-03, and the tie looked all but over. Donaghmore managed to reduce the deficit to 1-11 to 0-09 after 15 minutes of the second period but a second Carrickmore goal crushed any revival hopes and the visitors eventually ran out convincing 2-14 to 0-10 winners. There is no fixture for any adult teams this weekend and they will resume to League action on Sunday 29th August at home to Trillick.         

Youth Football: Coaching for all U8 and U10 children continues every Monday night from 7 – 8PM. The U10 squad have their next ‘Go Game’ Blitz this Saturday 21st August at home. All players must report for 9:30AM and are reminded to bring a packed lunch and appropriate gear in case of bad weather. The U16’s travelled to Coalisland last Wednesday evening and came away with a comprehensive 6-14 to 2-04 victory to maintain their recent run of good results. They travel to Edendork on Wednesday 18th August for a throw – in time of 7:15PM, and also entertain Clonoe next Monday 23rd August, also at 7:15PM.

Adult Football: Both Seniors and Reserves travelled to Kildress on Sunday last for Round 9 of the League. Following on from their Championship victory over the same opposition nine days previously, a depleted Reserve squad recorded an excellent victory on a score line of 1-12 to 2-07. Following this good start to the day the Senior squad were hoping to carry the momentum through and their game was finely balanced at half – time as Kildress held the upper hand in terms of possession in the first period but were unable to convert this to scores, and held a narrow one point lead at the short whistle. In the second period however Donaghmore proved to much more efficient in front of goal and turned over some fine scores to run out convincing 0-13 to 0-05 winners. This weekend sees another busy few days as the Reserves host Ardboe in the Quarter – Finals of the Championship on Friday evening at 7:15PM, whilst on Sunday both Seniors and Reserves host Carrickmore in the League, throw – in times for these games are 2:15PM and 3:45PM respectively.

Adult Football: The Reserves made a successful return to competitive action last weekend when they carved out a hard fought three point win over Kildress in the first round of the Championship.

However the home side held on to advance to the next round on a score line of 0-10 to 0-07.

Adult Football: Seniors and Reserves travelled to Cookstown last Saturday evening for Round 8 of the All County League. As has been the case throughout the year both teams suffered contrasting fortunes with the Reserves emerging victorious and the Seniors being defeated. For those who were in attendance for the Reserve fixture they definitely got value for money as Donaghmore enjoyed a goal feast and eventually emerged victorious on a score line of 7-09 to 1-11. The Senior game started poorly for Donaghmore as the home side opened up a 0-04 to no score lead in the opening 10 minutes despite playing against the elements. However Donaghmore battled back strongly and scored 5 points without reply to lead by 0-05 to 0-04 and also spurned a couple of goal opportunities. In the second period Cookstown started strongly once again and soon took the lead with another scoring spree of 4 points and despite valiant efforts by Donaghmore they couldn’t reduce the deficit further and eventually were defeated by 0-12 to 0-08.
