Moy School 1945

Moy Public Elementary School - or Moy Regional Primary School as it is better known had its older pupils pose for a photograph with the school headmaster George McQuade. One of the young students George Spotswood would go on to represent Ulster at rugby and become a top official within the Irish Rugby Football Union and world rugby! I also discover that George's schoolfriend in Moy was Andy Crawford who went on to become President of the IRFU

Collegeland Annual Sports 1940

Collegeland held their Annual Sports on Sunday 26th May 1940. A case of 'life goes on as normal' despite the war gripping the nation. Each village in those days appeared to have their own sporty Summer Sunday with money raised going to the parochial funds. A ceili would usually follow in the evening.

Original article and advertisement originated in the Dungannon Observer 1940.
