U14 Hurling - a message of gratitude from our club, players, management, families and friends goes to Ballinasloe for everything they done for us over the past weekend. A massive thank you for your great hospitality and friendship. That's what the GAA is all about. It was a great weekend, topping our group in Division 2 was a super achievement  and just narrowly getting beat in the Quarter Final. Memories and friends are made for life.

 

Commiserations - to our U14 Camogs and U14 Hurlers, who were defeated today in the Regional Feile Semi final and National Feile Quarter final respectively. You all done brilliantly and can hold your heads up high. The games were very tight and a puck of the ball here and there. Your club is proud of every player and coach. In defeat you learn, so use today as a learning curve and push on for the rest of the season. Big thanks to those who made the long journeys to support the girls and boys. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and safe journey home to players, coaches, families and friends. UP THE PORTS 

 

Big thank you - to Shane and Julie McCarthy who have sponsored t-shirts for our U14 Camogs trip to Kildare for the Regional Feile. The shirts look great. All support, sponsorship, donations are much appreciated by the lads and our club. Thank you.
