‘Mum without Me!’ got underway on Saturday afternoon last at 4pm in the Community Centre and what an enthusiastic bunch they proved to be!! With a yellow card having to be issued during their first small-sided game it is clear that the seniors could have some serious opposition if it’s challenges they’re looking for!! Please note this activity will take place outdoors for the next two Saturdays due to the unavailability of the Centre. So if you fancy some healthy exercise in the fresh air, head on down to the pitch at 4pm.
Senior training commences on Fri Feb 17th at 7.30pm. New and lapsed members welcome!!
Many thanks to Catherine and Marie Greenan who, along with Club Cathaoirleach, Shauna McElvaney, attended the County Board meeting on Monday evening. Indeed the girls showed their commitment to the game and its development in the county with Catherine taking the position of Assistant Treasurer and Clontibret delegates assuming the role of ‘Recording Secretary’ at Board meetings. Well done! There will be much delight at the re-appointment of Maretta Sherry as County PRO, Ann McKenna as delegate to Ulster Council and Teresa Lam as Vice-Chairman of the Board.
A Fixtures Sub-Committee meeting will be held in the Glencarn Hotel at 8pm on Monday next at which the fixtures for 2012 will drawn up for ratification at the March meeting. Dympna Kerr is Clontibret’s representative on this Committee.
