The Cormac Trust
The Cormac Trust was set up after the sudden death of Cormac McAnallen in the morning of 2nd March 2004.
Cormac's death came as a shock to people not only in his local area, but also to people all over Ulster and Ireland, as he was a well-known sportsman of exceptional fitness and of ostensibly perfect health.
Members of the Squareball team are proud of their involvement in the Cormac Trust, in the development of the branding and the website. Please take the time to visit the site which will give you an insight into the man himself and work that the Cormac Trust is striving to do.
The Spirit of Paul McGirr
On June 15 in 1997 Tyrone minor Paul McGirr died after an accidental collision at Healy Park in a County Championship with Armagh. Paul was a team mate of Cormac McAnallens and we see him above with fellow club man Ryan (Ricey) McMenamin.
'The Spirit of Paul McGirr' has recently been founded to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of Paul's death. The aim of this initiative is to contribute funds to a project already under way in LUSAKA, Zambia in conjunction with the SMA Dromatine Missionary work.
The Spirit of Paul McGirr committee based in Dromore, Co.Tyrone aim to raise money in order to send volunteers to Lusaka.
Self Help
In 2006 the GAA took the step of designating a charity for the year. The President Nicky Brennan sent a letter to over 2000 clubs urging them to assist the charity.
Self Help is an Irish development agency engaged in promoting and implementing integrated sustainable development programmes in rural Africa.
Self Help has assisted close to two million people in eastern Africa to achieve food self sufficiency since being established 22 years ago. Alongside efforts designed to improve food security and farm household income, Self Help seeks to improve access to basic social services, and promote conservation of natural resources.
