JUVENILES RETURN TO PLAY 

Phew! What a week and what a way to return to play!  Over the course of the week we had over 200 children and teenagers attend football, hurling and camogie training at John Markey Park, Ballygassan.  It was absolutely fantastic to see such an amazing turnout across all age groups and it was such a pleasure to see the pitches full of children and coaches having fun again.  We can't believe how tall some of our existing players have grown since we last saw you!  We would like to extend a particularly warm welcome to all of our new players!  We hope you enjoyed your first training session and we can't wait to see you again next week! 

 

On a side-note we would like to sincerely thank all of our coaches, mentors, Covid officers, ground staff and committee members for all of their hard work over the past few weeks.  A huge amount of organisation has gone into preparing the pitch and facilities for return to play. Thank you also to all the mammies and daddies for bearing with us as we find our feet. Onwards & upwards!

Up the Barrs & Anne's!

MAKING A POINT TOGETHER

Making a point together for SOSAD is a fundraiser running on Saturday 5th June and Sunday 6th June where Conor Lynch and his friend Evan Bird will visit all the GAA clubs in Co. Louth. They will wear the club jersey when we are there and will record ourselves kicking a point in every ground in the county.  This idea came about as the lads have learned over the last year through this pandemic that we are in that mental health is so important. They are combining 2 passions which are mental health and Louth GAA and make it into a fundraiser for a brillant organisation in SOSAD.  Please visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Conor-lynch to donate.
