Thle field of dreams... ✨️ An incredible kick, performance & result for @EdendorkGAC ... Congrats to the entire community👏☘️
The full ending as Edendork win the Tyrone SFC for the first time ever thanks to Niall Morgan’s two-point free three minutes into stoppage time.
Not too many occasions down the years where such a big underdog wins the replay. Incredible success story.

In what has become a very superficial world, when you see authenticity and courage in plain sight, it stands head and shoulders above everything else in the news reels these days..... Keep the shoulder to the wheel Mark, your resilience is contagious 🙏
A statement on yesterday…..
Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.
I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast
I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour
I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself
I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..
My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days
I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while
Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend
I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead
Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey
Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too
Thank you all x

Linfield vs Glentoran on Boxing Day, 1995.
The orange ball burst so they were forced to use a white ball 🤣

The day before the Iran war, the 10-year Treasury was 3.96% and falling. Today it's ~5.08%.
That's your mortgage, your car loan, your credit card.
We were headed for lower rates and a strong economy. Instead Americans are paying a war tax on affordability.

You write a book. You wonder if its making an impact and then you get 3 articles, over 2 full pages - including a main headline. In todays @irish_news

Nothing beats helping a group of young lads along their football journey.
It's the magic of human connection and development, and brings the best out of us 💪
Another super shift from this group of Under 14's @StMarysFcsaints ☘️

This is exactly the type of joined up approach we need in the North.
Proper investment and support for academy football, benefiting young players across every club and not just a select few.
If we genuinely want to develop more players and raise standards, the whole pathway needs supported.

The Irish Budget 2027 will result in household disposable incomes rising most for those that need it most. Those on lowest incomes will benefit to a proportionally greater extent. It's a progressive budget that will reduce income inequality and that's worth acknowledging. 🇮🇪👍

RTE says today’s budget will allocate €11m to the Reconciliation Fund which supports cross community projects in Northern Ireland.

Such huge news for League of Ireland that Government have committed 33% increase in baseline funding for academies. An extra €1 million to be provided due to calibre of work being done. Massive boost, one that was not expected as part of this year’s plan. Testament to progress.
MetroLink funding quadrupled to a cool €8bn in bid to kickstart construction 🚆
This is what is achievable when your economy is in budget surplus. It allows you to fix things, build things and improve communities and peoples standards of living
Unfortunately in NI we have been in budget deficit since the 1930s, and our economic structure is simply not fit for purpose, so infrastructure investments like this are much less likely !

The work and progress going on at the reds in relation to women's football is nothing short of remarkable ✨️☘️🔴⚪️
On Sunday morning I had the pleasure of watching my own daughter play for the Under 18's at a sunny mallusk, against a tough Ballymoney side.
As a parent I am witnessing at first hand the benefits, skills, characteristics my daughter has gained from playing for the reds over the last five years.
The work the coaches put into hundreds of these kids will never be rewarded monetarily, but our community owes all of them a huge debt of gratitude.
Watching this women's team play last night was another special moment.
Their skill, movement, football intelligence and ability was incredible, when after, they rightly went onto collect another trophy 🏆
Amidst all of the local doom and gloom on social media, there are always glimpses of hope, strength and resilience.
I think the women's teams at @CvilleLadies their resilience, workrate and desire to improve and be competitive is a terrific lesson for us all.
Fantastic to see #Youreds 🔴⚪️⚽️
