on line via our web site or via clubforce app. Paying online avoids club members handing
money and keeping money to lodge to the bank. It gives transparency and accountability to
the membership payments. It is vital that all players pay membership so that all players
are covered for insurance. ALL MEMBERSHIP IS NOW DUE FOR PAYMENT.
There is an instalment arrangement in place for families
who wish to avail of this opportunity.
You can pay membership on our web site www.ballymacgaa.com or Membership can also be paid via The Clubforce App and full data is here:

Hogan Cup Final
Hogan Cup Final : Omagh CBS 3-14 Mercy Mounthawk 0-11
Even though the result did not end in Mounthawks favour what an achievement to get to the final.
It was a great journey seeing them play against local rivials The Sem and The Green on their road to the final
Their never give up attitude and superb talent has given them, their school and all their clubs some great memories along the way.
Well done to their management team and thanks for the support they have given these young men.
