The new Millennium saw Sperrin Óg back in action with a senior
panel under the management of Tommy McDermott from Greencastle. The
Senior team competed in the Division 3 League and Brenda Logue Championship.
Along the way we met and beat such teams as Eoghain Rua, Glenelly and
Castlederg. This unfortunately was not enough to earn us a League title,
however third from the top was not bad. Overall we secured a total of
12 points out of a possible 20. The seniors also made it to the Semi-Final
of the Championship but were unfortunately beaten by Galbally.
Peggy
and Patricia McCullagh trained and managed the Minor Team in 2000. The
Minors had a total of 3 games in the League, which they won and earned
a place in the Semi-Final of the League where they met and were defeated
by Drumquin ending their hopes of League success for 2000. However the
Minors still had the Championship to look forward to in which they got
to the Final after beating Moy and Badoney. In the Final they again,
unfortunately, met and were defeated by Drumquin.
The U-16's had a great year under the management of Cathy Teague, Ciara
Morris, and Briege Beggs. In the League they secured a total of 10 points
out of a possible 14. The Championship campaign was very successful
for the U-16's. They got to the Final and met Omagh St Enda's. The girls
displayed great skill and determination to the final whistle of the
game, but unfortunately were beat by 1 point.
Maureen
Glass undertook training and managing of the U-13 group. The girls participated
in the Grade One of the Tyrone Crystal League in which they competed
in a series of 7 games. On their way they defeated such teams as St
Endas, Dromore, Carrickmore, Drumquin and are undoubtedly a team to
look out for.
