Offaly U20 Footballers into an All Ireland Final !!

 

Massive congratulations to Offaly U20 Football team and management team on reaching the All Ireland Final following a superb victory over Cork on a score-line of 3-10 to 0-14.  Offaly truly deserved victory having completely put cork to the sword early in the game despite their fight back it would have truly been  a crime if they had to win as the Offaly score-line should have least included another 2-08. Offaly now march into the All Ireland awaiting the winners of Roscommon v Down. The pure joy and jubilation that was felt as the final whistle blew was just something else as Uibh Fhaili Uibh Fhail rang around O'Moore Park. For many young folk present they wouldn't have experienced that joy like their parents and grandparents did in the 70s, 80s & 90s. 33 years since won the 1988 U21 All Ireland.  Can We Dare to dream? Uibh Fhaili Abu.  The final looks like it will be played on Saturday August 14th. Time and venue to be decided. Rhode are well represented on the team & Panel by Aaron Kellaghan & Gavin Young.

Games/Attendances

 

 

200 spectators are permitted to attend games, and up to 500 may be permitted in grounds with a minimum capacity of 5,000. However this will depend on progress in broader society – if these increases are to be permitted, we will advise in advance of July 5th. 

 

Where attendances are permitted at games, the advice in the attached document, prepared by the National Health and Safety Committee needs to be followed. For underage games, where parents are attending in a child-protection capacity, they will count as part of the 100 spectators permitted to attend.    

 

All grounds should have appropriate dispersion measures in place at all entrances and exits and parents/guardians should be advised that congregation in large groups on or outside club grounds is not permitted. 

 

                                              

Dressing Rooms For club games, Dressing rooms must remain closed. This is to ensure the risk of players or backroom personnel being classified as Close contacts is minimised. As in the Summer of 2020, Players should arrive ready to warm-up and play and leave the ground once the relevant game is over.

 

Get well: 

Get well wishes are extended to all of the people of the parish who are ill or hospitalised at the moment. especially Club President Paddy McCormack and Sean Murphy.
