Club Gear:
Following a number of enquiries about club gear, information will be available at our registration night for parents who wish to purchase gear. It is not a requirement for players to wear the club colours; however it is the committee’s view that our players are extremely proud to wear them. O’Neills are the company the club have decided to work with this year, a selection of club gear can be purchased from the O’Neills Website searching for Corduff and selecting what you would like to purchase from the items listed.
