Castletown Geoghegan Hurling notes
February 17, 2014

Castletown Geoghegan celebrate.
Underage Presentation
The Under 14 and Under 16 county champions were presented with their medals last Friday week in the Kingdom of Sport complex, Mullingar. Afterwards the boys enjoyed the various skills tests on offer, pitting themselves against each other and the 'Top Scores' recorded by previous challengers.
First Lady Secretary/New PRO
There have been a couple of amendments to the executive since our recent AGM. Mary Clarke has taken on the role of Secretary and to my mind, she will be the first female committee member in the clubs history. Though we all know that the fairer sex have played a key role behind the scenes over the years, it is great to see a representative 'out front' and hopefully this can begin a trend in our club. We also have a new PRO in Dean McDermott, and we would ask everyone to pitch in and inform Dean of relevant goings on in the club and community. It is also a welcome development to see some youth on the committee (apart from Mary of course), and Dean joins Niall O'Brien who currently serves as our youth officer.
