		The Battle of the Yellow Ford (Gaelic: Beal an Atha Buidhe) was fought in southern Armagh, Ulster, in Ireland, near the river Blackwater in August 1598, during the Nine Years War (Ireland).
		It was fought between the Gaelic Irish rebel army under Hugh O'Neill and Hugh Roe O'Donnell and an English expeditionary force under Henry Bagenal.
		In the next two years, O'Neill managed to spread his rebellion all over Ireland, but was eventually defeated at the battle of Kinsale in 1601 and forced to surrender in 1603.

	Clontibret O'Neills GAA Club,Monaghan,Ireland
		Clontibret, however, are determined to get back onto the winners rostrum for the first time since 1997 and those two statistics alone make for an intriguing pairing in the championship decider.
		Clontibret, on the other hand, will be regarded as the more experienced team with their championship tradition but in their case that rating is a little misplaced as this is almost a completely new Clontibret side from that which won the championship in 1997.
		Clontibret's defeat was ironically at the hands of Magheracloone in their opening game when they slipped to a four-point loss.

		Maghery battled on however and although they failed to clinch the Ulster intermediate title, this Maghery team can rightly be proud of how much was achieved this season by a very young and enthusiastic team.
		Clontibret chairman, Colm Gormley, was a bitterly disappointed man when he was informed that the final of the Ulster intermediate club series between St. Michael's of and Maghery of Armagh due to be played in Clontibret on Sunday 28th March had to go by the board.
		Gortin battled on, and though they managed to twice reduce the Maghery lead to 6 points, Maghery were always in control and continued to pick off some fine points.

	Irish Battles - Kinsale 1601 part 1
		Before the battle of Kinsale he attacked only when he knew that he could retain control of his men in the changing situation in which the attack might involve them and could draw them off safely at any moment that he desired.
		He behaved thus at Clontibret and at the Yellow Ford and the Moyry pass; his victories, and his survival, were consequences of this behaviour.
		The purpose of military strategy is to bring about an encounter with the enemy in circumstances in which one possesses every advantage-every advantage of ground, of numbers, of armament, of Supplies, and so on-and, having done that, to crush him.

		This area is very gravelly and seems to have been used for interring those who fell in the battle, a dry sand pit.
		These words of this hitherto successful soldier may be regarded as an honest admission that instead of teaching the world an exemplary lesson in warfare at the Pass of Cashel Her Majesty's army learned a very salutary one.

		The Battle of Clontibret (1595) was fought in modern County Monaghan in Ulster in northern Ireland during the Nine Years War, between the crown forces of Queen Elizabeth and the rebel army of Hugh O'Neill, 3rd Earl of Tyrone.
		The Battle of Clontibret was essentially a two day running fight, as Bagenal's column was ambushed on its way to and from Monaghan town.
		During the march to the town, the Irish fought sharply along the roads about Crossdall, around 4 miles (6.5 km) from Monaghan, firing on the English column with calivers (light muskets) from the surrounding woodland.

		Indeed the war is just as remarkable for being littered by a series of English military embarrassments such as the defeat at the eponymous battle of the Biscuits (1594) where an English supply column was routed.
		The most dramatic rebel victory occurred at the battle of the Yellow Ford 1598, when a royal army over 4000 strong was annihilated, being reduced to a complement of 1500 men.
		At Kinsale, O’Neill’s army was forced to attempt an entirely conventional military battle, with the decided disadvantage of having undergone a prolonged march along the entire length of Ireland in winter conditions.

		John Guy, Anne Somerset, Richard Berleth, Jasper Ridley, Christopher Haigh) Elizabethan England was not particularly successful in a military sense, certainly far less so than the country was under Henry V, Oliver Cromwell, or William Pitt and King George II (during the pivotal French and Indian War).
		Although the Spanish Armada confrontation of 1588 is often invoked, this clash was in fact merely an early battle in a nearly two-decade Anglo-Spanish War that stretched from 1585-1604.
		The performance of English soldiers on land (chiefly in the Netherlands and northern France) was sporadic, yet the English were also defeated in most of their naval battles with Spain after 1588.

		He is fabled after the battle to have been spirited away to Tir na Og (the land of perpetual youth), and not to have appeared again on earth until the days of St. Patrick.
		The annalists say: "He was not a day or night during this period without a battle, or being vehemently and vindictively pursued; all which he sustained and responded to with manliness and vigour." His principal enemies were Irish chieftains and their followers - anxious to ingratiate themselves with the Government.

		They were very much a part of O’Neill’s army at the Battle of Clontibret in 1595 and again at the Yellow Ford in 1598, but, just as they were part of these great victories, they also had to share in the defeats, and they were in O’Neill’s army again at Kinsale in 1601.
		Patrick, who had fought in all the battles of the Nine Years War (1594-1603) died in 1612 and was succeeded by his grandson Niall McKenna, who was leader during the 1641-52 wars.
		The Battle of Drumbanagher is sometimes refereed to as ‘The Opening Shots of the Williamite Wars’, but even more frequently it is referred to as ‘McKenna’s Last Stand’ as it was this battle that really brought an end to the power of this once great family.

		One such victory was the rout of a relief convoy under Marshal Sir Henry Bagenal (O Neill's brother-in-law) and Sir John Chichester returning from Monaghan to Dublin through Clontibret in May 1595.

		Then shifting from their places in concealment behind the trees and skipping at will out of range in the bogs, O Neill's musketeers subjected the column to continuous attack.

		Despite the Tudor's usually successful strategy of divide-and-conquer, the ignorance and heavy-handed tactics of Elizabeth I's English administrators managed to unite the Gaelic chieftans with the Anglo-Irish (English or Norman expatriates who had become "more Irish than the Irish themselves") in opposition to English plantation and pacification under the leadership of O'Neil.
		The rebellion was fomented in 1593-94, broke out in 1598 (Battle of Yellow Ford), and lasted until 1607 (after Elizabeth I had died, and been succeeded by James I).
		The successes at Clontibret, Enniskillen, and the Yellow Ford are mirrored by the Irish failure to win the disasterous battle of Kinsale.

		The effects of the battle were felt throughout the country and seemed likely to turn Ulster revolt into a national movement in which the native and Anglo-Irish leaders would combine in defence of the old way of life and the Catholic religion.
		As soon as the news of the battle of the Yellow Ford reached England Elizabeth gave orders that no expense was to be spared in crushing the Ulster chieftains.
		He decided to avoid pitched battles, if possible, but to bring O'Neill, Ó Domhnaill and the other chieftains to submission by creating famine in their territories and cutting off all aid from their allies in the south.

		Still with wonderful skill and resource O'Neill held out, and when he surrendered in 1603 it was on condition of being pardoned and secured in all his honours and estates.
