County Minor Final.  Sunday is County final day in Clones and the club will be represented on the big day by the minor team that has qualified for the Division One Championship final. The opponents in the final will be local rivals, Carrickmacross and the throw-in is timed for 1.30 p.m. The Magheracloone team has a very successful record through the juvenile ranks and the team members have prepared diligently for this big game. All in the club are very proud of the achievements of this team and the club supporters are hopeful that this team will bring the silverware back to the club on Sunday afternoon.

Pitch Development.  The work continues with the laying of the special Lough Neagh sand. As soon as this is completed the ground will be ready for seeding. It is anticipated that this should happen during the next week.

The website and/or the clubs face book page will keep members up to date with progress.

County Final Tickets. You can pre book your tickets for this week-end’s county finals at your local Supervalu supermarket. The County Board is encouraging supporters to book in advance to avoid queues at the entrance to the stands. O’Gorman’s in Carrickmacross have tickets available.
