2000
The new millennium arrived for Rock St Patrick's GFC with the club now firmly established in Tyrone Football. Eunan McGinn remained in charge, with Rock now back playing Intermediate football in the new re-structured Division 2. Well the new league and the new status did not hinder this young Rock team, as they finished 3rd in the league. This meant they had to play Loughmacrory in a play off to decide if they could enter Senior Football for the first time in the clubs history. The match was played in Dungannon and in very poor conditions and after a long and hard tussle in a game which Rock deserved to win they lost out by 4 points. In the Championship Rock progressed to the quarter final after beating Gortin, but Beragh on the day were to good for them.

2001
Rock St Patrick's GFC hopes for 2001 were to go one better and make the Senior status but unfortunately the hard work and highs of the previous year, meant Rock struggled to find any form. In the league they had to settle for a mid table position and a 1st round exit in the Championship at the hands of Greencastle. It is also proved to be the last year in charge for Eunan McGinn as he was to step down at the end of the year. During Eunans reign however Rock made significant progress in Tyrone football and probably were one of the most improved sides at this time.

2002-Senior Citizens
After a wide search for a new manager/trainer Rock St Patrick's GFC selected Peter Bayne for the 2002 season. His new style of approach, give the Rock team new hope and results in the early part of the league were very convincing. After a dismal performance in the Championship against Dregish who were bottom of the table, Rock went on to win the league and make history, by achieving Senior status for the first time in the clubs history. No one could have ever believed that a small club like Rock St Patrick's GFC could ever achieve just an honour. All the hard work from the clubs formation in 1916 had finally paid off.

Division 2 League Champions 2002
2003
The year began as the previous year the search for a new manager/trainer, due to the fact that the highly successful Peter Bayne had moved on. PJ McGlinchey was awarded the job and his task of keeping Rock in Senior football proved to be difficult. From the offset injured players and player fatigue from the long previous season was to be Rocks downfall in the Senior grade. Rock were not able to get a run off results going and by mid season PJ McGlinchey had stood down, with Martin Hackett and Eugene Mullan stepping in to see if they could swing things around. But with more injuries and young players been brought in Rock were to be relegated from Senior football, but not without a fight. In the Senior Championship Rock playing for their first time in the O'Neill Cup, were drawn against Killyclogher. On the day they were well beaten by 3-14 to 1-4, however Killyclogher were to go on and win the trophy for their first time.

The Sam Maguire Fairytale
On the County front Tyrone success continued as they beat Laois in the National Football League Final at Croke Park and after a replay they trounced Down to win another Ulster Senior title in Clones. So onto the All-Ireland Quarter Finals where Tyrone beat Fermanagh with 19 points to spare in a one sided game in Croke Park. Tougher opposition lay in wait for Tyrone in the semis as the Kingdom of Kerry where planning Tyrone's downfall but not this time as Tyrone won on a score line of 0-13 to 0-6. Happy days lay ahead an all Ulster Final for the first time ever against Armagh. The build up was magic and with the Rock's Ciaran Gourley fighting back from injury "what a day" he was handed the number 2 jersey. Tyrone lead 0-8 to 0-4 at the interval but their was little between the two sides. The second half was similar to the first and when Brian White blew the final whistle Tyrone had done it 0-12 to 0-9. The scenes were unreal and the homecoming was jubilant and it was the winter of 2004 before Sam arrived at Rock St Patrick's GFC to fulfil a dream for young and old.
2004
After all of the hype and celebrations with Tyrone winning the All-Ireland the previous year and with some celebrations still on-going, it was back to Intermediate football for Rock St Patrick's GFC. The committee and players had giving Martin Hackett and Eugene Mullan the backing to take over the reins of team management for the 2004 campaign. After a hard campaign and still injury problems Rock managed a mid table postition and they remained in the Intermediate League and in the Championship Rock lost out to neighbours Pomeroy.
Rock Minors won the Grade 3 League and the Under-16's lost in the Grade 2 Championship Final. Peter Gervin wins MacRory Cup medal with Dungannon Academy.
Tragedy struck the Tyrone Senior team with the sudden death of Cormac McAnallen a few weeks after he had lifted the McKenna Cup with a convincing win over Donegal. Galway ended their run in the semi-finals of the NFL after a replay and Mayo ended Tyrone's hopes for 2 in a row when they beat them in the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland. They also lost their Ulster crown in the semi-finals to Donegal.
The clubs long serving Referee and the most successful in the history of Rock St Patrick's GFC retired from his post. Martin refereed at all levels fromYouth to Senior at County Level and also at the highest in Inter-County Level. Martin's record is very impressive as he has been in charge of 3 All County Minor Finals, 2 All County U-21 Finals, 2 All County Senior Finals, 1 Ulster U-21 Final, 1 Standby NFL Division 2 Final, 1 Standby All-Ireland Club Championship Final, 10 NFL and numerous other Inter County Competitions including the McKenna Cup.

2005
Senior/Reserves
Hopes were high for Rock St Patrick's GFC for 2005 with Eunan McGinn and Declan Muldoon taking the team management. A return to senior football would of been the clubs goal, but unfortunately Rock struggled for the entire season due to injury problems, the unavailability of several players and the lack of commitment from other key players. Rock county star Ciaran Gourley was out for most of the season with a serious knee injury, while county U-21's Martin McCreesh and Stephen Mullan took time outfor several months in the USA. The management had to call on the young guns from the reserves and minors for most of the season and to be fair they done their utmost best to keep Rock in intermediate football. After a crucial playoff game with Greencastle, which Rock lost by a last minute goal Rock were to be relegated to Division 3. After a hard year Rock finished with: Played 22, Lost 19, Draw 3, and Won 0. In the championship Rock lost in the first round by 0-14 to 1-3 to eventual winners Aghaloo.
On a brighter note the Reserve Team managed by Sean Kolbohm and Damien Hoy had a fine season with a mid table finish and a good championship run saw them narrowly defeated in the semi-final by a strong Greencasltle outfit on a scoreline of 2-10 to 2-8.

The minors had a fairly good season in the Grade 2 section after finishing runners up in their section they were eventually beaten in the league semi-final by Omagh on a scoreline of Omagh 3-11 Rock 0-3. In the first round of the championship Rock led for most of the way against eventual Omagh but they were pegged back in the last quarter and eventually lost on a scoreline of 1-12 to 1-10.
Pride of place in the club for 2005 went to the U-14's and the U-16's as they both won their Grade 3 Championships. The U-14'sunder Ciaran Gourley struggled in their league section only winning one game but they went the whole way with victory against Moy in the Championship Final. The U-16'sunder Darren and Gerard Mullan managed 2 victories in their league section but they went the whole way also with victory against Glenelly in the Championship Final.

The lotto was still our main fundraiser for 2005, with a Poker Classic also aiding to club funds. The annual dinner dance was also well attended in the Glenavon Hotel Cookstown. The Annual Liam Heaney U-12 tournament was an outstanding success this year again with Dungannon winning the 'A' tournament beating the holders Clonoe in the final and Donaghmore defeating Galbally in the 'B' final.
Gabriel McGurk sadly died at the age of 30 in October after a long illness. Gabriel was a player with the club from youth level and he steadily progressed to the Senior ranks within a few short years. One of his proudest moments was winning the All County Division 3 League with Rock St Patrick's back in 1993. Gabriel was a dedicated and committed clubman and this was very evident in the mid-90's when Rock St Patrick's were struggling for numbers you could always be sure Gabriel would be there. A gentle giant on and off the field of play, he was an ideal role model for any young player today. He played right up until his illness a few years ago when he could unfortunately no longer continue playing and the Rock club was certainly the worse for this. Rock St Patrick's will never forget the contribution by Gabriel to Gaelic games in the Rock. Rock St Patrick's extend our deepest sympathy to Gabriel's wife Grainne, his father Dessie, mother Agnes, brothers Gareth, Seamus and Oliver and sisters Veronica and Patricia and to the entire McGurk, Kane and Scullion (Bellaghy) family circles on the passing of our team mate Gabriel. May he rest in peace.
Another sad note in 2005 was the death of Jim Loughran on Sunday 7th August. A well known and respected member of the community Jim had been a past player for the Rock and had served on numerous committees. Deepest sympathy is extended to his wife Sally, daughters Fiona and Collette, sister Maureen and all the family circle. May he rest in peace.
The Sam Maguire Fairytale Number 2
After a a semi-final defeat to Wexford in the National League and a quiet opening to the Ulster Championship, Rock Gaels were to be treated to a feast of Gaelic football from the Tyrone Senior Team, that will never be forgotten The Ulster Final produced the start of this great feast of football, it was a dramatic game for Rock Gaels who attended Croke Park when Tyrone were denied victory by a late Armagh flourish. All roads were to lead back to Croke Park on Saturday 23rd July 2005 for a replay with the old enemy. The replay saw Tyrone unbelievably lose out by 0-13 to 0-11 in the dying seconds after a game they totally dominated. Peter Canavan and Stephen O'Neill were sent off by Referee Michael Collins in the latter stages and both decisions which were later overturned cost Tyrone the Anglo-Celt Cup.
So it was the All-Ireland quarter final against the mighty Dubs and it served up one of the greatest games ever to be witnessed in Croke Park. It was nip and tuck all the way with Eoin Mulligan scoring the greatest goal ever to be witnessed in Croke Park forcing it into a replay. The replay was all Tyrone except for a 10 minute spell in the second half which saw Dublin come back at Tyrone.
All roads again lead back to Croke Park on Sunday 4th September for Tyrone's All-Ireland semi-final battle with old rivals Armagh.
BANK OF IRELAND ALL-IRELAND SFC SEMI-FINAL Tyrone 1-13 Armagh 1-12
One of the greatest games of Gaelic football in the modern era was undoubtedly witnessed by Rock GFC supporters and further a field in Croke Park on Sunday 4th September 2005. Never over the whole 72 minutes was there a moment of dullness. There was rarely never more than two points separating the sides at any stage of the game and it even had the supreme ending, when Peter The Great stepped up to kick the winning point.

Tyrone claimed the All-Ireland title for the second time in three years with a superb 1-16 to 2-10 victory over Kerry in Sunday's final at Croke Park. Kerry made the better start and Dara O'Cinneide netted for the Kingdom but Tyrone hit back and led 1-8 to 1-5 at half-time after a Peter Canavan goal. The Ulster side dominated the second half although Tomas Ó Sé reduced the gap to one point with a goal. Tyrone stayed in control and went on to secure a deserved triumph.Well done to Ciaran and all involved in the Tyrone camp. Rock St Patrick's are proud of you and it will be a day that will not be forgotten. At the after match celebrations Peter Canavan and Chris Lawn announced their retirements from Tyrone county football.

Senior/Reserves
Rock St Patricks commenced 2006 in Junior ranks and a speedy return to Intermediate status was the goal that the club were hoping to achieve for the 2006 season. Unfortunately after a slow start and a run of mixed results Rock St Patrick's could only a achieve a play off spot against Tattyreagh. This was a closely contested game and Rock St Patrick's just lost out on a scoreline of 2-11 to 1-12. Rock St Patrick's however had a good run in the championship and a narrow victory against Clogher set up a semi-final pairing with eventual winners Greencastle. On the day Rock St Patrick's lost out by a single point and 2006 was to prove a frustrating year with Junior football again on offer for 2007. The Reserves had a mixed year also with a mixed bag of results and the emergence of new talent augurs well for the future.

The U21 with Michael McCourt/John Ward as joint managers done an excellent job also and they were extremely unlucky to lose the Grade 2 U21 final.

The Heroes of 1982
Tyrone
Plenty of success for Tyrone seniors and minors in 2007 with both Aidan Girvan and Ciaran Gourley to the fore. Aidan Girvan was to make history on becoming the first Rock player to Captain a County team at any level. He was to be a very successful captain indeed as he lifted the Ulster Minor title for Tyrone after they beat Derry. Unfortunately their was to be no success in the All-Ireland series as the lost out to Kerry in the quarter-final. Ciaran and Aidan both lined out at full backs in the Senior and Minor Ulster finals, more history making for the club.
Tyrone maintained their grip on the McKenna cup and they made it 4 in a row when they accounted for Donegal in the final. Tyrone also managed to stay in the top flight of the National league with mixed fortunes and Donegal was to be the 2007 National football league champions when they beat Mayo.
The Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 2007 campaign began for Tyrone on Sunday, May 20, 2007 against Fermanagh at Clones. Tyrone won by a single point 0-13 to 1-9 with Ciaran Gourley been in the panel. Ciaran played in Tyrones demolition of Donegal in the Semi-final when they won by 2-15 by 1-7. So all roads lead to Clones for the Ulster final and Tyrone overcame a good Monaghan team by 1-15 to 1-13 this victory enabled Ciaran Gourley to add his third Ulster championship medal to his personal tally.
Tyrone were drawn again Meath in the All-Ireland quarter-final and their dismal run against them was to continue when they were beaten by 2-8 to 1-13. Kerry won their 35th Sam Maguire beating Cork by 3-13 to 1-9.
