Thanks to Paul Henry and Pinnacle Homes for kindly sponsoring the tops.
Best of luck to our under-14s who take on Newport in the Féile na nGael final on Saturday at The Ragg (12 noon). Please come and support this terrific bunch of players.
Thanks to everyone who took part in the successful sponsored walk on Sunday last and also to everyone who so generously donated. It is a vital fundraiser for the club and thanks to everyone concerned.
A small number of players still need to pay their registration and we that they do so immediately.
Our under-16s had a fantastic win over near neighbours Burgess on a score line of 7-9 to 2-4 in the opening round of the championship. What made this win extra special was that this was the first time Éire Óg ever played a championship game at under-16 level in the A grade. Well done girls on achieving a nice piece of history.
