Senior Championship – With Tyrone now entering the “Back Door” to the Championship, it now means that St. Enda’s seniors will begin the defence of their Tyrone Senior Championship crown on Friday 5th June in Pomeroy at 8.15pm against Carrickmore. We are calling on you to be at the game in Pomeroy to support Larry, Barry and all the players. With Moortown and Edendork at 6.45pm, big crowds are expected so get down early to the Main stand, group together, make plenty of noise and get behind Omagh St. Enda’s.
Golf Classic – The second annual Club Omagh Golf Classic held on Friday past attracted over 160 golfers for another great day of activity. Many thanks to our Club Omagh Golf Classic sponsor Michael McElroy of Main Street and to the tournament organisers Paul O’Neill and Aaron McEnhill. See photos on our Photo Gallery.
Ball Wall opening – Another milestone was reached in the history of St. Enda’s on the 16th May when our newest development – the magnificant Ball Wall and 4G training pitch – was officially opened. Our Honorary President and PP Monsignor Donnelly presided at the official ribbon cutting ceremony and blessing watched by over 100 club members, players and supporters on a sunny Saturday morning. The St. Enda’s U12 footballers and hurlers, boys and girls, gave club members a demonstration of the training drills being used at the Ball Wall during the opening ceremony and Club Omagh members who have been instrumental in raising the necessary funds for the development got an opportunity to see at first hand the work that has been carried out at Healy Park over the past six months. Many thanks to all the Club Omagh members whose financial contribution has been key to the work at the club. If you would like to join Club Omagh and help to raising funds for our next development project – the refurbishment of our main hall, please do not hesitate to contact Club Omagh Chairman Seamus Hannigan 07540 069360 or any Club Member. Many thanks to those who attended and to John Wallace of Supervalu who sponsored refreshments for our guests.

U14 Football – The U14 boys produced a top class performance yesterday in the Grade1 Championship Quarter Final away to Rock. The high pressing strategy adopted by the team had Rock struggling to get out of their own half and at half time the boys led 6-3 to 1-4. The Omagh boys showed great composure and quality to come away with a resounding 10-9 to 2-6 victory. Celebrations were marred somewhat with the news that Tom Donaghy who had a magnificent game at centre half back has broken his collar bone following an accidental clash with one of his own players effectively ending his season. Get well soon Tom!
U14 Girls Football – Hard luck to the U14 girls who lost their Grade 2 championship quarter-final against Strabane on Tuesday night after extra time.
U12 Girls – Also well done to U12 girls who took part in an Ulster blitz last Saturday in Glabally.
