The Altamuskin Cup took place on Friday 5th June at Cardinal MacRory Park in Dunmoyle, Errigal Ciaran GAA bringing together local schools for a day of football. Before the games began, we paused for a minute’s silence in memory of Barry Conroy, Principal of St. Oliver Plunkett’s PS, Beragh, whose sudden passing has been deeply felt throughout the local community. Barry was a passionate advocate for school sport and a loyal supporter of the Altamuskin Cup since its inception. Last year, Barry proudly guided the St. Oliver Plunkett’s Beragh team to victory in the Mairead Mullin Cup and he had been greatly looking forward to returning to Dunmoyle this year to support another talented group of pupils as they sought to defend their title. While StOliver Plunkett Primary School and Roscavey Primary School were understandably unable to attend this year's competition, Barry’s presence was very much felt throughout the day. We continue to keep Barry’s family, school community and the wider Beragh community in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. All schools involved produced outstanding performances throughout the day, demonstrating excellent skill and teamwork. The Mairead Mullin Cup saw St. Macartan’s, Clogher and Derrylatinee St. Francis' successfully navigating their way through to the final. Derrylatinee reached the decider following a dramatic semi-final victory over St Mary’s Primary School Ballygawley, which required extra time to separate the sides. In a closely contested final, Derrylatinee delivered a composed team performance to emerge as worthy winners. However, St. Macartan’s, Clogher pushed them all the way, ensuring a thrilling and competitive encounter. Following the final, the Mairead Mullin Cup was presented to the victorious Derrylatinee captain by Mickey Mullin, Mairead’s father. In the Pauline Mullin Cup, Friends of Glencull St. Malachy’s, Glencull faced a determined St. Patrick’s, Aughadarragh side in the final. Both teams had come through challenging semi-finals against St. Brigid’s, Altamuskin. In the end, St. Malachy’s were crowned champions, but not without a brave and spirited performance from Aughadarragh. The Pauline Mullin Cup was presented to the winning captain by Séamus Mullin, Pauline’s brother. The final accolade of the day was the Player of the Day Award, presented in memory of Shaun Conroy. This award recognises an outstanding individual performance and this year it was awarded by two of Shaun’s sons, Neil and Brian, to Tomas McMullan of Derrylatinee, who sealed the honour with an exceptional display in the final. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make the day such a success, whether it was refereeing, umpiring, organising teams, making tea, setting out the pitches or helping with the clear-up afterwards. Your support was greatly appreciated.

Congratulations to our pupils of the week this week. These pupils excelled both in the classroom and on the field of play at the Paddy Bogan Cup. 🔴We wish the Tyrone Ladies GFA and their management the very best in the Ulster Final this weekend⚪️

Well done to our boys and girls who took part in the Canavan Cup at St. Ciaran’s today! 👏🏐 Our boys successfully navigated the group stages with a couple of excellent wins, but it was in the Shield Semi-Final where they truly showed their character. Trailing 15-0 at one stage, they produced an incredible comeback, scoring point after point before winning the game with the very last kick to secure an unforgettable 18-15 victory! 💪🔥 They went on to the final where, despite a brilliant effort, they were unfortunately beaten. They did themselves and the school proud throughout the day and performed superbly from start to finish. A big thank you to all at St. Ciaran’s for hosting such a well-run and enjoyable event.

Congratulations to our pupils who received Pupil of the Week certificates over the past two weeks! 🌟 We are very proud of your hard work, effort and positive attitude in school. Keep up the fantastic work everyone!
