GAA Social Initiative

The GAA Social Initiative launched initially at the suggestion of President Mary McAleese is designed to involve and re-integrate former players, members and supporters into the club and the community. With this in mind a Social Evening is planned for Friday, 25^th February when it is hoped many from past generations of the club will come to share a crack, watch a few video clips of past games, exchange tales, share some food and perhaps enjoy some music. Current club members are asked to make former members, players and supporters in their area aware of this event and encourage them to attend what should be a memorable night. Further details will follow.

Young Player of the Year

It was decided at last Thursday evening’s club meeting to initiate a club award for Young Player of the Year. This will be awarded at the end of each year to a young player who has demonstrated dedication and commitment to their game, team and club and who shows promise for the future. The award will honour the memory of former player and club President, the late Jim Woods and will be inaugurated at the forthcoming Presentation Dinner Dance

Dinner Dance

Keep free on Saturday, 12^th February for the club’s dinner dance and presentation of medals which will take place in The Four Seasons Hotel. Tickets available from committee members and in the clubrooms.
