TYRONE ABU

Hello to all my friends in the village and in the hills, how did I get its so wrong? To be honest Tyrone in an All Ireland Final in September was the last thing I dreamt of when I was booking my ticket home in July. To beat Dublin was unbelievable but it was too late to change my ticket then. However, I was able to get the commentary over the internet, but as luck would have it in the 69th minute and Tyrone leading by a point we had a power cut, there was some sweat until one of the priest in Manila sent me a text saying we had won, it was already midnight here so we had to celebrate, not much sleep that night. I had a priest from Armagh and Donegal with me as well as lay missionaries from Fiji, Peru and the Philippines. Well done to Damien for stepping in when he was needed during the year, and no doubt it's only a matter of time until he claims a starting position, he has kept up a proud tradition of Donaghmore men playing for Tyrone. I cannot forget the Minors either, a wonderful last second point and I know they can do it in Longford, good luck to Niall and Christopher. Belated congratulations to all the girls who were involved in the Minor final, surely the day is not long off until you also will be playing in final day in Croke. Thanks Pauric for the wonderful pictures, it has made it all alive for me. I hope all the many exiles were with us in spirit. I can just imagine how Nora would have enjoyed being around at this time, she is with us in spirit. And don't forget lads your still in the O'NEILL CUP, believe in yourselves.

HOGAN CUP

WELL DONE TO THE LADS, IT IS A GREAT HONOUR TO BRING THE HOGAN CUP BACK TO TYRONE FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. SURELY THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR TYRONE NOT TO MENTION DONAGHMORE, MAYBE NIALL AND PAT WILL BE THE BIG MEN IN THE MIDDLE FOR TYRONE BEFORE LONG!!!! AS I SAID BEFORE A GREAT DAY FOR YOUR FAMILIES AND THE PARISH, NOT TO MENTION PACKIE AND PATRICIA YOU MUST BE THE RIGHT PROUD G'PARENTS, ISN'T IT ALL THE SWEETER WHEN YOU BEAT THE KINGDOM. FR PETER.

Hello to all my friends in the club, it has been ages since I have been in contact. Thanks to Pauric on keeping your web site so well up to date, I always look forwarding to opening it up. A big congratulations to the four lads who will feature in the Hogan cup final, Niall ,Ace, Daniel and Paddy, well done. It is a great honour to yourselves your families and to the club. If my memory serves me right the only time the Academy won the Hogan before we had also four on the squad, hope it is a good omen. What a challenge to be playing Brendan's the creme of the Kingdom. I will be really looking forward to the result. To all in the club keep up the good work. (Fr. Peter, Philippines)

A bit unlucky to lose the semi final. Better luck next year. What you need is to train the fullbacks to play in the centre of the field and the midfield to play in the back line. That way it gives you more strength in the second half. When we played in the fifties and sixties, the jersey meant everything to us. All our lives were involved in the Donaghmore St Pats Gaelic games. I'm always thinking of you all, no matter where I am. Tommy Christie - past full forward.

Good luck to everyone involved tonight. Best wishes to Joe and the lads and hope everyone from the village is there to support you all.

Absolutely superb results for the U-16 girls against the big guns of Errigal and Carrickmore. All down to the leadership of the chairperson I assume???

Great to see the senior men back on course over the last few matches as well. Are you still in the sin bin Wab??????

Will keep an eye on the web page for more D'More news on my onward travels to Oz.

Up the Pats!

Hello there to all my friends in Donaghmore. Good to see the website up and running again, it keeps me up to date on what is happening. Good to see the auld hands still interested and keeping in touch like Paddy McKenna - have you improved those kick outs yet? Hope you are enjoying your new life in the USA. Congrats to Raymie on being elected new Chairman , it's good to see a Carland man holding the reins, good luck . I was glad to see Caulfield school did such a wonderful job on St. Pats day, well done. I feel the GAA club must take in all the parish. Well done also on pushing ahead with the new developments - we have to look to the future if we are going to be relevant to the young people coming up. Congrats also to Kelvin, Damien and Niall, hang in there, it takes time. St Pats day was a bit quiet for me as you could imagine it is not celebrated here. I was alone - the nearest Irish man was about four hrs away, however that didnt stop me having a few Irish coffees with the locals - they enjoyed them so much they said when is the next St. Patricks day!!!!!! So again Pauric, well done you are nearly as good as the auld lad to say nothing of the missus. Congrats as well to Leon and to yourself Pauric but I hear you are rushing into nothing. Best wishes everybody, FR. PETER.

hello d'more,

I think since the under 14's winning the all-ireland in 1988 was a huge achievement for the club(CLUB HISTORY) maybe the club should have a 20yr reunion for the players and coaches to show that it was a big deal, and to get old friends back together, after all thats what its all about.

Just looking to say that the website is looking really well! Keep up the good work whoever is keeping it up 2 date! I was looking at the picture of what the new youth club might look like and now there are lots of good things to look forward to in Donaghmore!

How's things? I hear that you had an easy win over Tir na N'Og today. I'm sure it was good to get out again. I was able to watch the Tyrone match yesterday here in Glastonbury at the Irish American club. There were a few loud Dubs there so it made it all the better.

Well done on getting the website up and running again, it will save me a fortune in phone calls every Sunday now. Congratulations to Raymie mc Cluskey on taking over the roll of Chairman, and to all the members of the committee. Good luck for the coming season and hopefully we can bring home a bit of silverware this year.

Look forward to seeing you all in April! Paddy Mc Kenna (Boston)
