Under-10. The Under-10 team took part in the Killanny blitz last week-end and gave a very good account of themselves. Well done to the young referee for helping out in this very important task in Killanny. The club needs young members to take on this job and it is up to all members to encourage more young people to take up the whistle.

 

Under-8. Training for this group has recommenced on Wednesday, 15thApril, at 7.00 p.m. All players should have boots, tracksuit, shorts and a gum-shield.

 

Club Merchandise.   The new round of club merchandise is now available for purchase. Further information and an order form can be found on the club website. The last date for orders is this Friday, 17th April and the orders should be with the finance sub-committee by that date.

 

Easter Camp.  Congratulations to all involved in the recent Easter Camp held in the club grounds. Over eighty young people attended for the three days and enjoyed the activities on offer. A special word of thanks to Declan Farrelly and the coaching team along with the special coaches, both male and female, from the juvenile players in the club. It’s great to see the juvenile players getting involved in helping the young players in the club.

 

Congratulations. Magheracloone was well represented in Croke Park on Sunday at Allianz League semi-final day. Congratulations to Colleen Jones and Dylan Fox who played in the half-time game at the interval of the Monaghan/Dublin game. I’m sure both players are looking forward to playing in Croke Park soon……maybe next time as part of a successful Monaghan team.
