Social & Presentation Night
Our annual social and presentation night will take place on Friday 25th February in St. Mary’s Hall. Tickets will be on sale shortly and special guest on the night will be Aogan O’Fearghail, Uachtaran Chomhairle Uladh. The highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Hall of Fame Award along with the Senior, Reserve and Minor Player of the Year Awards. Last year’s social was a great night’s craic so mark it in your diary Friday 25th February.
Ulster League Fixtures
Our first game in the Ulster league competition takes place on Sunday 6th February when we travel to Derry to take on Desertmartin. On Sunday 13th February we have a home game against Dundrum (Down) and on Sunday 20th February we have another home game against Silverbridge (Armagh). Sunday 27th February we travel to play Patrick Sarsfield (Antrim) and on Sunday 6th March we are on the road again when we travel to play Galbally Pearses (Tyrone).
“Rock Country” Night
If you are suffering from ‘X Factor’ withdrawal fear not because there seems to be no end to the talent within the village and our next rollercoaster ride involves some of our best and brightest singers preforming some of their favourite Country & Western songs. It maybe ‘doom and gloom’ economically ladies and gentlemen but here in the club we do try our best and we hope to wipe away the blues and bring some fun, music and great singing to put a smile back on your faces as preparations are at an advanced stage for our “Rock Country” night to be held on Friday 18th March in St. Mary’s Hall. Following on from our hunk extravaganza this proves to be another spectacular night and you’d be a fool to miss it! Next week I hope to be in a position to announce all the performers so watch this space for more details.
Juvenile Presentation Night
Plans for our juvenile presentation night are progressing well and I hope to have full details for you in next week’s notes.
