Senior Football League On Saturday evening in glorious conditions, our seniors were away to Carrickedmond in round 5 of the league. In a game that ebbed and flowed, the lead changed hands a couple of times before finishing up all square at 18 points each. This is actually the third draw of the campaign and puts us sitting at 5 points after 5 games (1 W, 3 D, 1 L).
The next outing for the seniors is on this Sunday 18th May at 12.30pm at home to Abbeylara.
The Junior squad, pictured in the main article image, kicked off their season in Div 3 away to Granard on Sunday afternoon. The good weather over the weekend led to ideal conditions with the ball moving well from both sides. However the Granard attack created and converted a number of goal chances and they ran out comfortable winners in the end.
The Juniors are out again on Friday evening 16th May at 7.45pm with a home fixture against Colmcille.
We hope to see a strong home support for both sides!

U-8s
Training continues every Thursday at 6.30 for the U-6, U-8 boys and girls and U-10 boys. We are delighted to see the large numbers of kids at training, but this brings a requirement for additional coaches, particularly in the U6, U8 and U10 groups.
Any parent / family member over 16 can become a coach, no experience in coaching or background in GAA is necessary. All training will be provided. The bigger the network of coaches we have, the better. There is no expectation that every coach will attend every week. There may be parents who would not be comfortable coaching but would be happy to help in other ways. There are plenty of options to volunteer; for instance put your name on the fruit rota, help on committee, help at the club shop when open for matches / events, steward at events, volunteer to supervise at the ladies club fundraising disco.
To those who already volunteer in some way, Thank You. For anyone who doesn’t but would like to help please contact Niamh MacCormaic. Minor Club Family Fun Quiz A big thank you to everyone who supported our Minor Club Family Fun Quiz – it was a fantastic evening full of fun and laughter, and it was brilliant to see such a great turnout.
A special word of thanks to Ger, Melanie, Luke, and Georgina for all their help in making the event a success!
