Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Thír Eoghain held their eagerly awaited showcase event of 2018 when the ‘Outdoor County Football Finals’ took place on Wednesday 6 June in the magnificent grounds of the Garvaghey complex.
The sun shone brightly, thankfully, but not as brightly as footballers from the 20+ school teams from across Tyrone who had qualified from their respective sections for this highlight day in the Primary School sporting calendar. A total of... 6 prestigious county titles were up for grabs.
Once again, as we had witnessed throughout the season, the level of skill displayed by our pupils was of the highest quality. This is testament to the sterling work being done in our Tyrone Primary Schools by teachers – working in conjunction with club and Co. Board coaches. Maith sibh go léir!
Smiles, coupled with graciousness and good-manners, were evident when the prize-giving ceremony took place at the end of each of our competitions.
This was the first time we had qualified for this prestiage tournament and both boys and girls teams were a credit to the Carland Community. Both teams played fantastic football and finished 3rd and 4th in the county respectively.
This is a outstanding achievement for the pupils of St.Mary's. We hope to build on this success as the season draws to a close.
