Ladies Reserves: A very under strength Reserve team had their second game of the new league season against O’Neill Shamrocks in Cremartin on Sunday. Although the girls gave their all, they again ended up on the wrong end at the final whistle. With a couple of weeks to our next game hopefully the girls will put in a big effort on the training field.

Ladies Under 14’s: Training for Under 14’s tomorrow Friday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Full attendance please.

Ladies Under16s’ and Minors: Check with team mentors for next training.

Presentation Night – Our annual Club Presentation night will be held on Saturday the 8th March in the Skule Inn. It is hoped a large crowd will gather to reflect and celebrate our year and in particular to congratulate the reserve and minor footballers who will receive their league winning medals. There will also be a number of other awards given out on the night.

Committee Meeting – the monthly meeting will take place on Monday night at 8.30pm.
