Dalriada GFC celebrates 25th anniversary with old friends

November 2015

DALRIADA GFC celebrated their 25th anniversary by travelling to old friends in Gortin, County Tyrone, where they took on the local side and renewed friendships that have endured throughout their quarter of a century of playing Gaelic football in Scotland.
To mark the occasion the visitors took on the Gortin St Patrick’s men’s side (above) for the Fair Cities Trophy—a trophy that has held pride of place in Mossey’s Pub, Gortin, Co Tyrone, since the hosts defeated Dalriada during their 20th anniversary celebrations back in 2010—while their ladies team also took on St Patrick’s for the first time.
Drawing together a mix of past and present players from all over Scotland and Ireland, the Dalriada contingent that arrived in Gortin served up a double victory as both the men and ladies ran out winners against their hosts.
The Fair Cities Trophy returned across the Irish Sea after a five year absence following a three-point victory for the visitors, while in the ladies’ match it took extra time to separate the two sides, with Dalriada eventually sealing victory by a single point.
Following the match, the celebrations of the weekend began in earnest, with the auspicious occasion being marked by a reception in Mossey’s Pub at which club stalwart Peter Mossey gave an enjoyable and informative presentation on the history of the club, which included some of the club’s previous successes, such as winning the Scottish Championship in 1993 and a British Provincial Final appearance in the same year
Dalriada ladies’ captain Ciara Mulligan and her male counterpart Ciarán Finnerty, presented both sets of players with special medals to mark the occasion. Commemorative plaques were also presented to Dalriada stalwarts on the night in recognition of their efforts on behalf of the club, including John Joe Moran, Kevin Heffernan and Eugene O’Sullivan.
Speaking on their return the visitors offered their thanks to their hosts, saying: “Dalriada wish to acknowledge the excellent hospitality shown by the Gortin club, and people of Gortin in general over the course of the weekend, and we hope to return the favour some day.”
