Hurling
Traditionally the first Sunday of March sees the return of underage hurling and this year is no different. Training starts this Sunday at 12 noon in Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh. Boys and girls are welcome from 5 years upwards. Come along and learn the skills of our ancient game in a fun filled environment. Hurls and helmets provided for training. For any enquiries contact John Rooney on 086-2587793.
Last one standing
With the competition nearing the business end, Ryan McHugh’s goal in Father Tierney Park kept a lot of entrants in our Last One Standing. Eamon Brannigan’s goal for Galway saw those who had picked Kerry exit the competition. While Clare had a shock win over Down in Newry which also saw a few entrants leave the competition. So after four rounds of the league there are now 60 people left standing in our competition kindly sponsored by Liam Gallen of Mr G’s.
NFL Game
The club provided a large number of stewards to supplement the County Board stewards at Sunday’s National League game. Additionally we had a large number of further club volunteers who fulfilled various roles on the day. Thanks to all involved. A special thanks again to our Development Team at the grounds for their work over the winter and with preparations over the last few weeks.
Fixtures
Official fixtures start in earnest in April and the Park / Development Committee will sit down with team managers inside the next two weeks. Until further notice the training area for underage teams and ladies football is the school field. The main field at Páirc Aoidh Ruaidh should be back in action before the end of March.
Weather Warning
The severe weather warning for later this week will mean that training fields will be unavailable on health and safety grounds. Changing rooms may also be affected as the water storage systems may have to be drained. In that event notices will be erected.
