After a very poor first half, the team played much better in the second half to run out 2 point winners. With only three weeks to the league, a lot more work is needed at training and all players are encouraged to attend. Senior and reserve league begins on Saturday 3rd April away to Drumragh.

Mens Senior Team
An Mhaigh senior team's involvement in the 2010 Ulster Senior Football League came to an end with games away to Slaughtneil (Derry) on Tuesday 2nd March and at home to Portglenone (Antrim) last Sunday afternoon.
The penultimate group game against Slaughtneil was a re-fixture played under lights and proved to be a useful run-out for both teams. The Derry side led 1-6 to 0-3 at half-time and, although An Mhaigh enjoyed a good spell after the break to reduce the deficit to just two points, Slaughtneil finished strongly to win on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-7.
Team & Scorers: Barry Gribbin; Adam Currie, Emmett Rafferty, Mark Jordan; Padraig Laverty, Niall Conlon, Tomás McNicholl; James Devlin and Colm Jordan; Kris Kavanagh (0-1, 1 free), Sean Cavanagh (0-5, 5 frees), Martin Conroy; Conall Laverty (0-1), Ryan Mellon (capt), Ryan Mallon. Subs used: Anthony Rafferty (12 mins), Hugo Mackle (half-time), Ciaran Conroy (34 mins, 1-0), Thomas Conlon (40 mins).
An Mhaigh's final group game at home to Portglenone saw the T'r na nÓgs field their strongest team in this year's competition. The result was a convincing win for the Moy men who played some sparkling football in the first half to lead 1-10 to 0-2 at the interval. Despite conceding three goals in the second period, An Mhaigh held out comfortably to end their Ulster League campaign on a victorious note. Final Score: An Mhaigh 2-15 Portglenone 3-4.

Subs used: Thomas Conlon (18 mins, 0-1), Brendan Kelly (19 mins), Barry Gribbin (38 mins), Kris Kavanagh (43 mins, 0-1, 1 free) and Ciaran Conroy (45 mins).
Reserve Team News
An Mhaigh reserve footballers were also in action last Sunday when they entertained Portglenone's second string team in a friendly fixture. Played as a curtain-raiser to the Ulster Senior League match, this turned out to be a very worthwhile encounter as both sides geared up for their respective All-County League campaigns.
Moy managers Sean Mallon and Brendy Farmer had a strong squad of players at their disposal and they will have been pleased with the effort and work-rate of all those involved. Although Portglenone provided stiff opposition, it was the T'r na nÓgs who played the better football throughout to win by four points.
