Croker Tickets: Each of the players and committee members are currently selling tickets for the annual Croker Park GAA draw. Tickets are €10 each with some amazing prizes to be won. Make sure your in it to win. Additional tickets are available for Niall Duffy for any player or member who may require them.

Thank you: The committee would like to take the opportunity to thank the 2015 senior team management of Cathal Hand, Fintan Burns & Paul Stuart. The three lads put in a massive professional, dignified effort in both training and match day preparations throughout the year. Unfortunately, the results didn’t go in the teams favours for a large part of the year but this

wasn’t a true reflection of the men’s performance. They have decided to step down from their roles for the 2016 season which is a major blow to the club and its efforts to move forward as to replace men of this calibre will be a major undertaken for all involved. Thanks again for all three men and the committee would sincerely hope that all three will be back involved within the club in the very near future.

Congratulations: Congratulations & best wishes from all players, committee & club members to Paul & Patricia Stuart who recently wed. We wish them many year of happiness together.
