Online: Our Scotstown GAA Twitter and Facebook accounts have been active for nearly a year now, with the Twitter in particular proving very popular. We lead the way compared to other clubs in the county with 228 Twitter followers. However we are a long way behind the likes of Cremartin and Inniskeen in the Facebook stakes – they have both around the 600 mark, while we have around 200. So show your support for your club and get clicking! You’ll find us at facebook.com/ScotstownGAA or on Twitter @ScotstownGAA
Ladies
Senior League: Training continues every Tuesday and Saturday mornings. We are still waiting for our last league match against Aghabog to be fixed, so keep free the next few weekends.
Keep Free: Saturday the 29th of October, as the Ladies Club present Mr and Mrs (Part 2). This was an excellent night’s entertainment back in early June. We have some witty couples lined up in Pauric Connolly and his Fiancé Paula; Mary and Sean McQuaid; Niall Maguire and his partner Susan; newlyweds Declan and Donna McCarville and Mossy and Evelyn Boylan. So come along and enjoy the craic!
