1997 saw big changes within the Sperrin Óg club. For the first
time an underage team was established within the club and because of
the continued number of Greencastle players registered it was decided
to hold training and matches at Greencastle G.F.C grounds.
The Senior
and Minor teams trained and played under the management of Séan
Donaghy from Loughmacrory. Overall the senior team secured a total of
9 points out of a possible 15 in the Tony Fox Junior League. The seniors
also came runners up in the Shield of the Tyrone County 7-a-side competition.
Due to a lack of players at underage level the Minor team was forced
to withdraw from the Minor League and Championship.
Séan
Carlin from Mountfield took charge of our U-12 Team, 1997, with a squad
of over 30 players. The team finished top of the Group B Section but
were unfortunately beaten by Carrickmore in the play-offs of the League.
The 1997
season concluded with a buffet night in 'McGinns Loft' on Saturday 10th
January 1998. The following presentations were made on the night:
Senior
Player of the Year: - Mena Tuohey
Most Promising Senior Player: - Tracey Ann McCullagh
