Retirement: We would like to wish Jackie Carlos all the best in her future endeavours. Jackie stepped up after Seán O Connor retired and she seamlessly took an all tasks associated with the running of our clubhouse.
She brought our club bar through Covid very successfully, providing a great service to our patrons. Jackie was very proactive in her job as bar manager and we are indebted to her for keeping our clubhouse going for the last couple of years.
I’m sure she will continue to be a familiar face around the club and will still be on hand to give a helping hand when needed. Thanks again Jackie.

U13 boys: Our u13s played John Mitchel in the Division 1 Town League final last Sunday in Kerins O’Rahillys. It was a great occasion where yet again the football didn’t disappoint.
The first 10 minutes was nip and tuck but our lads seemed to handle things better and went in 2-7 to 0-7 up at halftime.
The second half was more of the same with Mitchels battling hard but our lads work rate stood to them where they got hard earned scores and finished up worthy winners on a scoreline of 2-17 to 1-11. Man of the match was Danny Kingston who scored 11 points to help his team get over the line.
