Sean’s Notes
Adult Team news. Training continues on the usual nights and commences as always 8.00pm sharp, with the recent improvement in weather the boys will finally get to feel the grass under their feet, all participants should still come prepared for internal or external activity; just in case!!!
Cultural Night. Our Traditional Irish Music session takes place on the 2nd Friday of each month. So remember to keep the 2nd Friday free, next session takes place on Friday 8th March. We look forward to seeing you all there. Refreshments served. Everyone welcome!
Scór Sinsir: All roads lead to Clontibret Community Centre next Friday night 22nd February for the County Final of Scór Sinsir which commences at 7.30pm. We wish our club representative in Question Time, Solo Singing and Instrumental Music all the best and hope to see a big contingent of Sean’s followers in Clontibret giving them the support and encouragement they deserve on the night.
St. Patrick’s Night: A Traditional Irish Music session will be held on Sunday 17th March. Please keep this date, as it promises to be a great night, judging by the success of the regular monthly sessions.

Playing members are reminded too that they must have their subscriptions paid before they can be selected or participate in any games in the coming season.
Totto. The numbers 7, 6,4,8,1,3,2,5 drawn on Monday night last for a jackpot prize of €7,200 were not correctly forecast. The lucky dip winners were Hughie Mc Phillips Tyredigan, Jimmy Prunty Mullinacross, Mary Murphy Nahill, Martin Murphy Tattenclave, Sheila Lambe Mullinacross, Sean Murphy Tirnaneill, Eugene Ward Ardaghey,Odhran Larkin Brandrum, Kathleen Leonard Smithboro, and Geraldine Mc Donald Scotshouse. Next week’s jackpot €7,300.
It’s that time of year when many of the annual subscriptions to our Club’s Social Totto draw now falls due for renewal.Can I encourage everyone who may be approached by a Totto co ordinator in the coming weeks to please renew and continue their support of the club and participation in this weekly draw for a jackpot prize as can be seen above is well worth winning. The annual subscription of €80 and indeed all monies received via the week envelopes are greatly appreciated and are an essential element of club finances.We very much hope that the generosity shown by so many over the last numbers of year can and will continue.

Sympathy We extend our sincerest sympathy to Nan Mc Carney and the McCarney family circle on the death of Nan’s brother Gerry in Luton England. Formerly from Aughnamallagh Gerry play underage football with the Threemilehouse club and was a member of the 1956 Muintir Na Tire cup winning side, a photograph of that team appears in The Replay. As with many of his generation forced to emigrate he never lost his association with his native heath, just recently I understand viewing The Rewind (Our club history) with pleasure and pride at development on the GAA front in the parish of his birth.
