Covid 19: We all at Aughnamullen GAA hope that all our members and supporters are keeping well and adhering to the HSE Guidelines that are at present. As you maybe aware the club undertook a goodwill gesture of delivering some irish cuisine last weekend to the elderly and vulnerable within the parish. This gesture was set up by the club as a result of all the times the parish has supported the club time and time over the years and we hope this token will help to brighten up your day in these challenging times for everyone

 

Club Facilities: At present all our facilities are closed ie Walking Track, Social Centre and no training for all our teams from Senior to Juvenile. The club realise that this is very challenging for our community but we have to be optimistic that this will change in the near future.

 

The Late Packie Lambe: Last weekend one of the most likeable and nicest person you could meet Packie Lambe of Formill went to his eternal reward. Packie was a valued member of our community and will be deeply missed for all those who knew him. Although he never donned the blue jersey his sons Peter, James & Philip wore the jersey with pride and represented the club from Juvenile all the way up to Senior. At present James & Philip are part of the management team at Juvenile level within the club and his grandsons and granddaughters represent our club. Sincerest sympathy is extended to his wife Mary, Daughters Mary, Margaret, Rose & Patricia, Sons Peter, James & Philip, Sisters Minnie Marron & Margaret Sullivan, Sons in law Martin, PJ, Derek & Martin, Daughters in law Geraldine, Joanne & Emma, Brother in Law Phil and Wife Mary and their extended families.

On behalf of the Lambe family they would like to thank all the healthcare professionals who helped Packie at home and in hospital and also a sincere word of thanks to all those who performed Guards of Honour alongside Packies final journey on Sunday morning last. With the current restrictions at present the family were moved by this and are so thankful for the level of compassion that exist in times of grief and are so grateful to all those who helped out in any way possible.

Sympathy: Sympathy is extended to Gillian Oliver former Physio with our Senior team on the death of her father Lexi Oliver may god have mercy on his soul.

Senior Skills Challenge: Thanks is extended to the Senior Players who are posting Skills challenges on Social Media to keep our Juveniles active at present

Monaghan GAA: Monaghan GAA in conjunction with The Monaghan Age Friendly programme have launched the #It'sGoodToTalk initiative . This was inspired by former Mayo GAA county star David Brady and Monaghan GAA in conjunction with  Monaghan Age Friendly  are delighted to announce that Monaghan  players and management have answered the call to become involved with this initiative and have volunteered to give a lift to those who are “cocooning” and cut off from their typical social networks by pledging a few minutes of their time to make a call to someone who is isolated and have a chat with him/her about GAA or reminisce about former glory days!! A short chat in a long day for someone who is now spending all their time at home could make all the difference and we are very appreciative of the Monaghan  players and management for making themselves available to be part of this initiative. We invite our supporters to nominate an elderly family member be it a father / mother /brother / sister/ grandfather / grandmother to receive a call  from a player or management. Contact  Mary McEneaney Assistant PRO Monaghan GAA 0876887332 to set up the call to celebrate a birthday , an anniversary or just to have a good GAA chat .
