CLUB NEWS ON THE PLAYING FIELD
Our Intermediate teams did us proud over the last week as the Hurlers extracted a win from St Brigids on their own home turf to progress into the Championship Semi-finals. The Intermediate footballers also pushed ahead in the league after beating St Brigids. The Junior Hurlers faced off against Ballyboden St Endas but lost to a stronger Ballyboden side. Hard luck lads. Anyone interested in assisting with the Grounds committee should contact Brian Douglas on 087 9852846. All matches shown live on the big screen in the Club Lounge - Club open for all live GAA games.
Get Well Soon
We send our best wishes To any of our Members and Friends who might not be too well at present and wish them a speedy recovery and hope that they will be back to full health soon....
