Mullingar Shamrocks benefit from Intel Matching Grant Scheme...
Mullingar Shamrocks, thanks to the efforts of Ritchie Daly and Gerry Briody, recently benefitted from the Intel Involved Matching Grant Programme which is designed to recognize and motivate Intel employees to engage in outreach and volunteerism to make their communities better places to live, work, and play.
The scheme also allows Intel to recognize employees who give generously of their time, and provide them with the opportunity to earn money for organizations that are important to them. After a minimum of 20 hours has been contributed by Intel employees volunteering at a qualified non-profit organization, a donation for each hour volunteered is contributed from the Intel Foundation.
Ritchie Daly is involved in many facets of Mullingar Shamrocks work and has contributed hundreds of hours of voluntary input over the last decade and longer whilst Gerry Briody does all his good work in coaching at under-age level.
We congratulate Ritchie and Gerry for their efforts on behalf of the club and for securing this valuable funding. Intel's philanthropy is also appreciated.

ACL Minor League: The Downs 5-12 Mullingar Shamrocks 0-8
After leading by 2-9 to 0-5 at the interval The Downs pushed on after the restart and were convincing winners of this minor league match in Springfield on Friday evening against a younger Mullingar Shamrocks side. A penalty goal at the end added to the Shamrocks misery and but for some superb goalkeeping by Seán Hynes the defeat could have been a couple of goals heavier as heads went down and effort levels dropped as the game progressed.
Mullingar Shamrocks: Seán Hynes; Emmet Walshe, Mark Flynn, Daniel Adzangoa; John O 'Reilly, Tomas Turks, William Chukwuemeka; Brian Farrell, Jack Gillen(Ryan Battle); Trevor Keena, Zach Aherne, Andrew Shaw; Ryan Battle (Ben White), Barry Nwokeiwu, Oliver McNamara.
