  • BETWEEN 2003 and 2012 eight Danske Bank MacRory Cup finals came and went without a team from St Patrick's, Maghera appearing in them. It was the longest drought since the school first reached a decider in 1976.

The article from MSN discusses the upcoming semi-final matches in the MacRory Cup, a prestigious Gaelic football competition for schools in Ulster. St. Patrick's College, Maghera, is set to face St. Mary's, Magherafelt, in a highly anticipated clash at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh. This match is particularly notable as it features two teams from the same parish, intensifying local rivalries. Meanwhile, St. Michael's College, Enniskillen, will take on Holy Trinity College, Cookstown, in the other semi-final. The winners of these games will advance to the MacRory Cup final, with the potential for an all-Derry final if both St. Patrick's and St. Mary's emerge victorious. The article highlights the significance of these matches not only for the schools involved but also for the broader community, showcasing the passion and tradition of Gaelic football in the region.
