Clane GAA Notes
May 17, 2013Well done to our Senior footballers who beat Monasterevin in the 1st Round of the Championship on Sunday last. The lads played extremely well in the 2nd half to pull away in the end. The lads continue their league campaign this Sat away to Moorefield at 4.30pm. Please support.
Congratulations to the u16 hurlers who beat Coill Dubh in the League final on Saturday last - it was a great game and the lads came out on top by 3 points having being down by 5 at half time. The U16 Camogie team lost their camogie final on Sunday going down to a strong Maynooth side - all our girls are underage again for the next year or two.
The club is holding a gathering weekend on the 14th, 15th & 16th June. The will be plenty of festivities in the club for young and old, past members & future members. It is hoped to have juvenile competitions over the weekend, a hurling tournament and the Barry Gallagher football tournament on the Saturday with a presentation after. A dinner dance will take place on the Saturday night with players from the 63 and 83 teams attending. On Sunday the Tommy Conneff memorial challenge will be held and in the afternoon there will be underage games and activities for all the youth of today.
The Feile Camogie team and mentors are in full training for their All Ireland Series in Limerick at the start of July. They have a few fundraisers planned to help with the costs of the trip.

The Senior B footballers remain unbeaten after beating Straffan last Monday. They now play Leixlip away on Monday next. The minors are finished their campaign with the upcoming exams and are training away for the championship. The Senior Hurlers went down to Maynooth on Tuesday last by 2 points - the lads are missing all the county minor & senior hurlers at present and once they are back the lads should see the results they deserve for their efforts. The Minor Hurlers bowed out of the league loosing to Naas last Saturday by 7 points in a good game of hurling and now wait for their championship to commence after the exams.
Congratulations also to our u10 community games footballers who won the county title yet again beating Monasterevin on Sunday last in Ballykelly. The lads now play the Dublin champions in the opening round next week in Clane - please keep an eye out for the fixture.
