Congratulations: to the twelve members of our club on completion of foundation coaching course recently. This will be of huge benefit to the club going forward. Particular thanks to Joanne Reihill and Phelim McElwaine for organising this.
Congratulations also to Tommy McCabe who is feeling like a new man after the beard shave on Friday night last. He’s more used to keeping things well mowed so it must’ve taken a lot to ignore it for the month.
Well Done to Adrian Alford who completed his first week in coaching the students in St. Tiarnachs Primary school. We can all appreciate the challenges facing our younger players in relation to ball skills and fitness. This is a wonderful opportunity for them, the club and Adrian who is getting help from James McElwaine and Kevin Reilly. A word of thanks to Paul O’Connor Monaghan Development Officer for his buy-in and support with this initiative. These five hours every week will make all the difference to the development of juvenile football in Clones.
