McElduff wins first ever She’s Ace Ladies Open title
Breacach’s Maeve McElduff became the first ever winner of the Tyrone Ladies Open Senior Singles Championship when she defeated Loughmacrory’s Lisa McAleer in a thrilling inaugural final at Beragh on Saturday evening. McAleer was on fire in the early stages and her powerful low serving and pass and kill-shots had McElduff on the back foot for much of the opening game. The Loughmacrory player took that opening game 21-5 but a more measured defensive approach by the Breacach star in the second began to pay dividends. McElduffs strong play on the ceiling and pinpoint long range shooting saw her seize control at that point and saw her claim the second game 21-7.
The tie-break proved finely balanced for much of the way and they were deadlocked at 7-7 and following a long series of super rallies, found themselves with four serves each with the score at 9-8 in favour of McElduff. Maeve held out though with strong centre-court play and claimed the first ever honours, and the Brenda Logue Memorial Cup, on an 11-8 tie-break scoreline.
This was undoubtedly a great opening series in the newly introduced Ladies Open Championships in Tyrone and would suggest that both Maeve and Lisa can have a big season ahead in the upcoming 40×20 All Ireland championships.
Breacach’s Eilise McCrory continued an impressive run of results for her club in the first Ladies Junior Singles Championship when she defeated Loughmacrory’s Aoife Kelly in the final on Saturday evening. The recent double US Junior National champion, had to call on all her reserves in a fantastic contest with Kelly with both players delivering super offensive play allied to strong pass and retrieving all around the court. In the end McCrory ran out the winner on a 21-15, 21-16 scoreline. Eilise received her Tyrone Attic Stairs Junior Championship medal from She’s Ace Officer, Paula Clarke.
Tyrone players reach many Ulster Championship finals
Tyrone GAA Handball players have really been showing up well in this year’s Ulster 40×20 Championships in the adult grades, with the Juveniles to get underway in just over two week’s time.
Last weekend saw a double Ulster Minor Singles Championship success for the county in the Mens and Ladies Minor Grades as Johnny Woods collected the Boys Minor crown with an impressive 21-10, 21-9 win over Monaghan’s Eugene McGeogh in the Ulster minor decider in Gort na Mona, Belfast.

Shane O’Neill has rubber stamped his very strong Intermediate Championship credentials following an emphatic win over Donegal’s Mark Magowan 21-2, 21-5 in the semi final stage to set up an all Tyrone final with Carrickmore’s Caolan Daly, who showed immense character to come back and beat Cavan’s James Brady in the other semi final 17-21, 21-20 21-9. O’Neill and Daly will now meet in the Ulster final this evening (Thursday 13th February).
Conal Curran and Martin Toner have been in good form and will contest the 35+ Mens B Doubles final on 2nd March against Cavan while Tyrone have dominated in the Masters B Singles championships, having defeated Antrim and Down opponents at the quarter final stages to set up an all Tyrone semi final line-up.

Loughmacrory win All Ireland Gael Linn
Tyrone GAA Handball continues to go from strength to strength and the All Ireland Gael Linn Championships emphasised the point today in Mayo as the county’s two young club teams from Loughmacrory and Breacach won through to contest the final of the national tournament with Loughmacrory enjoying a terrific All Ireland title win on the day.
The event, which saw the winning two club teams from each province, brought a winning start for Dara Curran and Mairead Fox against Tuamgraney of Clare. In game one, Mairead had to battle from behind to finish all square with Roisin Minogue at 11-11 before Dara delivered a fine display to defeat Conor Downes 17-5. A 19-6 win then followed by Dara and Mairead in the doubles match as they booked their All Ireland semi final place with a 47-22 win overall.
In the All Ireland semi final the club duo then faced a highly regarded young Leixlip (Kildare) team. Mairead was really up against a top notch performer as she faced World 11 & Under champion from 2012, Leah Doyle, in the opening game but played fantastic in the timed game to lose out by just 6-5. Dara Curran then produced possibly his finest display of the day to score an impressive 24-3 win over Sean Muddiman and they went on to claim their All Ireland final place with a 20-6 win in the doubles match, to win overall by 50-14.
Meanwhile, in the other half of the draw the other Tyrone team who had qualified for the All Ireland stages were producing superb form to claim their place in the All Ireland final. They firstly had to deliver an excellent display to beat Mallow of Cork by . In game one Elizabeth McGarvey got off to a flying start with a most impressive win 31-3 against Sarah Kelly. Caolan McCartan battled resolutely then against talented young star Cian O’Driscoll, losing out 15-6 and when the doubles finished 19-10 to Mallow, it was still enough to see Breacach go into the semi final on a 47-37 scoreline overall.
In their semi final match, Breacach were excellent to serve up a fantastic win over Galway’s Micheal Breathnach’s and thus for the second year running, the Gael Linn event brought an all-Tyrone final.
That title decider saw Elizabeth McGarvey and Mairead Fox produce a superb contest in the opening game with Elizabeth just winning out 9-4. Dara Curran had a great battle early on with Caolan McCartan with super offensive play and retrieving by both players but Curran’s high rate of corner kill-shots saw him open up and win 22-4 overall. In the doubles Dara and Mairead again played as they had all through the series and were in excellent form, winning that game 11-9 and thus claiming their first All Ireland championship medals on a 37-22 overall score.
A great day overall for Tyrone’s young handballers again at National level and further emphasises how bright the future is in the sport for the Red Hand County, this being the second successive year of success for the county in this prestigious event.
Daly falls in Intervarsities decider
Carrickmore’s Caolan Daly exhibited an impressive return to form last weekend at the All Ireland Intervarsities Championships where he won his way through to the Senior Open Final. Daly lost out in the end to one of the top ranked senior players, Martin Mulkerrins, by 21-10, 21-20 in a fascinating contest, having overcome Cork’s Pa Herlihy in the semi final stages. This is one of the most prestigious titles in offer in Irish handball, the previous winners list making impressive reading. The Carrickmore player will now travel to the USA on Monday next to put in a bold bid for a first US International Collegiates title.

A fantastic game with great skill exhibited by both young players with Conor Owens claiming his first county medal on a 7-11, 11-8, 11-9 scoreline. Conor certainly has an exciting future while Eoin will enjoy another crack at the honours again in 2015. In the Girls final it was Carrickmore’s Clodagh Munroe who claimed her second in a row in the event when she denied another exciting young player in Clodagh McNamee (Carrickmore) by 11-6, 11-5.

Their opening game against Carrickmore’s Ryan Mullan and Niall Allison was finely balanced early on with some excellent retrieving and absorbing rallies served up by the four young players. In the end though Woods’ ability to execute ace winning serves and powerful low finishing proved decisive and they ran out winners by 21-9, 21-4. County Chairman, Paul Allison, presented them with their medals as the Tyrone Attic Stairs Minor Champions of 2014.
Third county title for Niall Kerr
The Tyrone Attic Stairs Mens 35+ Singles Championship proved a highly competitive one in 2014 with 18 players starting out in the challenge for honours. The final in Loughmacrory on Sunday evening saw reigning champion, Loughmacrory’s Martin Toner, bid for glory again as he faced recent Senior B Singles Champion, Niall Kerr. The duo provided some super rallies on the evening and both games saw Kerr open up a big lead with precise ceiling and passing shots to deep back court. In the first he held a 10-2 and 15-6 lead bt Toner’s battling qualities saw him deliver a surge of impressive corner killshots to claw back the deficit to 17-18. Niall held out though to win the first 21-17 and although he lead 13-3 in the second and saw that lead closed to 14-16, Kerr ran out the title winner with a 21-14 win in the second.
