Drumragh's under eight team travelled to Castlederg on Saturday for another blitz.

Due to holidays it was an understrength team that travelled, however, the players equipped themselves very well winning two of their three games.

As ever the under eights fielded two evenly matched teams with 19 players in total involved.

Overall it was a fine performance from Drumragh with all players showing marked improvement in their skills and team awareness.

The games saw some fine scores from the likes of Dillion McNamee, Sean Coyle and Tadhg Cunningham.

In defence Ciaran McManus, Paul Devine and Sean Diamond played well while other performers of note were Daniel O’Neill, Gareth McCrystal, Josh Coyle, Patrick Stewart, Francis Shiels, Connor Quinn and Ryan Quinn.

The Castlederg pitch was in fine shape which was fitting when graced with the energy of Tiernan Smithson, Steven Coyle and Connor Kelly.

In midfield Jack Monk put in another trojan performance winning a lot of ball and putting in some great tackles.

Saturday also saw a fine player of the week-winning performance from Cormac Norris who made the ball do all the talking... and what a story it told.

Gaelic 4 Mothers started in Drumragh with an aspiration that some mums wanted to exercise but were not able for competitive football! A meeting was convened on May 27 to determine interest and 27 mums showed up. Training commenced the following week where 49 mums showed up! This was something that women wanted and what a difference eight weeks has made to these women! This group of mums started training on Thursday June 3. A lot of them not knowing each other never mind how to solo a ball, fist pass, punt pass or shoot for points. Under the expert tutelage of Mickey Rodgers, Johnny Edgar and James Campbell the Drumragh Mums have now played Carrickmore Mums in a friendly, played at half-time mini games in Clones during the Senior Ladies Ulster Final and taken part in an Ulster Blitz in Saval, Co Down, against 14 other teams from around Ulster. This group of women who until seven weeks ago had never met has been transformed into a unit of women who have a shared passion for gaelic football, for exercise and a genuine friendship for each other. Training was to stop until September but the women have asked that the training continues throughout the Summer months. Gaelic 4 Mothers is something that every club in Tyrone should have. To go to the Ulster Blitz in Saval was a great achievement. The women only see one way forward – onwards and upwards. Drumragh Mums are now preparing for a National Blitz in October. Anyone interested in Gaelic 4 Mothers can contact Sheena Tally at the Ulster Council or anyone interested in joining the Drumragh mums can contact Anne Donaghey.
