Money: JP McManus has made an incredible gesture to the GAA by donating €100,000 to every county board in Ireland. The famous race horse owner and long-time Limerick GAA sponsor will give out a total of €3.2million to all 32 counties with the figure being divided equally among their local clubs. A letter to each county board states that the donation is intended to support the continued development of Gaelic games in the country.

 

Even in the city: Just a thought about a thing that happened over the weekend in Dublin when the Parnell’s GAA club conceded their place in the Senior A Football Championship a couple of days before their semi-final relegation play-off with Lucan Sarsfields. As a result of their forfeit the other semi-final was cancelled and Parnell’s will play in the Dublin Senior B Championship next year while the other three teams will remain in the Senior A Championship. The club, who Stephen Cluxton the Dublin captain plays for, lost every game in their championship group with a minus 48 points difference. So even in the home of the All-Ireland Champs with all their resources and players they have problems, giving walk over’s in divisions 4, 5 and 6 in the wee county does not sound so bad now, does it?

 

Under 13: The O’Connells/Stabannon under 13 team will play in the division 3A final next Tuesday evening in Darver at 6.45pm, all support welcome.

 

Slimming World: Slimming World will be in our clubrooms every Monday from 7.00pm with consultant Debbie 087-2501622.
