Intermediate League:

On Saturday evening last we put the strength and depth of our adult panel to a severe stress test against Drumhowan and the players duly obliged with a competent victory over the visitors. Credit must be given to the players and management as we have now gained the maximum from the last three games and hopefully this can continue on Saturday evening @ 6pm when we visit Ballybay to take on Tyholland in the back door of the Intermediate Championship. As we get to the business end of the season it is very important we maintain our discipline and endeavours at training, as we can see we can easily hold our own, and hopefully the last few games have demonstrated this to our young squad.

Cultural Night:

The 2nd Friday of the month is almost here! Our Traditional Irish Music session takes place on Friday 8th July in the complex. Looking forward to seeing you all there for what’s promising to be a terrific night’s entertainment.

Junior musicians kick off the session @ 9pm sharp, with our seasoned performers picking up the pace as the night progresses! Everyone welcome.

Duck Race:

This year the juvenile committee is organizing a duck race as their fundraiser for the running of all juvenile teams.

Expenditure for juvenile teams includes jerseys, training equipment and footballs, medical supplies, bus transport, maintenance of playing fields. Also, a lot of time and effort is given voluntarily by coaches, managers, medical staff and those who wash jerseys, for which the club are extremely grateful. The duck race will take place on the Bank Holiday Monday 1^st August @3pm. Over the coming week all juvenile players will be receiving a sponsorship card and as many as possible are encouraged to buy a duck for the princely sum of €2 from these youngsters. There will be a draw over the sports weekend, and to be included a full sponsor sheet along with monies will be entered for sports vouchers.

Poster/Art Competition:

This year as part of the 50^th Celebrations the club is running a poster competition for all juveniles in the parish. The poster can be any size you like. You can select your own theme for your poster, e.g. success on the football field, club at the heart of the community, sports festival weekend, and duck race, etc, etc. The closing date for the poster competition will be Saturday evening 30^th July, i.e. after the Treasure Hunt. The winner will be selected during the sports on the Sunday. Make sure you put your name on the back of the poster along with your Date of Birth. So get your pencils sharpened.
