Emyvale Club Notes

Emyvale GAA Club Notes for Thursday 15th December

Hi Everyone,

Sean Mc Meel here your PRO for 2017,

This is my first go at this so bear with me and we will start with the Juveniles,

Forde Cup

The final of the Forde Cup took place in Tully on Sunday afternoon with four teams all looking to lift the cup. Great football was played in the two semi-finals, leading to the final of the shield and the cup. In a close and exciting match the shield final was a draw at half time but the Blue team played with determination to win the game. In the cup final, a tense match was played with the yellow team leading for most of the match, but an equalising point in the final minutes gave the game an exciting finish with Orange team scoring the final point of the game and making them the winners on the day. Medals and the cup were presented by our guest of honour Gerald Forde. A great family day was had by all and credit to the organisers for a successful tournament. A word of thanks must go to Peadar McMahon from emyvale.net who took the photographs at the final. We look forward to the next year’s cup and shield challenge!

Juvenile Club Nursery Programme finished up for Christmas last Saturday morning well done to everyone who took part. A work of thanks to Shane Mc Cormack for running this programme, well done Shane.
