Indoor Hurling & Camogie, OMAGH: Heat 1

 Indoor Hurling & Camogie’ Heat 1: OMAGH

 

 

Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Thír Eoghain commenced their eagerly awaited series of games for 2017, when the first of two ‘Indoor Hurling and Camogie’ Heats took place on Monday 16 January in Omagh Station Centre.

The Camogie section was impacted, somewhat, by the unfortunate withdrawal of some schools – due to unforeseen circumstances beyond their control. However, this didn’t annoy Recarson P.S. They played wonderful camogie to book their place in the County Final at the end of January. Well done, girls!

 Five schools competed in a drama-packed Hurling section.

St. Malachy’s P.S. Glencull and Recarson boys battled bravely in the competition, but fell just short on the day despite their valiant efforts. Things would go the final match to determine what schools would qualify for a coveted place in the Tyrone Final. Gaelscoil na gCrann knew a win in their final game would be enough to secure a place in the County Final. However, they narrowly lost out. The teams who eventually prevailed were the impressive St. Mary’s P.S. Ballygawley and St. Brigid’s P.S. Altamuskin – who topped the section. These two triumphant teams now await the qualifying schools from further heats to be held in Omagh, Clonoe and Dungannon this week.

Tyrone Hurling & Camogie Officer, Declan Sherlock, expertly officiated on the day. Our thanks also to the friendly staff in the Station Centre, Omagh.
