Gary Casey Fundraiser: Huge thanks to all who took part in the 6k Walk/Run on Sunday last, 5th February 2023. This was a very worthy cause and the support from local GAA clubs, running clubs and the wider community was overwhelming. The essential funds raised will help with his long journey of rehabilitation and treatment to aid his recovery from this life changing accident. This treatment will hopefully enhance Gary’s independence, improve bodily function and ultimately a return to work in some capacity. Thanks to all who made donations, registered and made a contribution to this great cause. Congratulations to the winners of the race on the day. Female – 1st – Nicola Flanagan, 2nd – Grace Hughes, 3rd – Emma McGuigan. Male – 1st – Darragh Scott, 2nd – Aidan McDonnell, 3rd – Ryan McMahon. Thanks to McElroy Awards for the sponsorship of trophies.
Volunteers: Thank you to our unique volunteers who helped with the Gary Casey fundraiser on Sunday last, from the organising committee, stewards, servers, marshals, An Garda Síochána, car park attendants, cleaners and all who assisted with the food preparations, Meeting House, McCaugheys, the Mothers & Others, Community Group and all who helped with refreshments. Your help is always appreciated and are what makes events such as this the success that it was.
Congratulations: The Club would like to acknowledge and express their gratitude towards Patrick Walsh who was awarded Junior Referee of the Year recently at the Monaghan GAA awards ceremony in the Four Seasons. This is a thankless job and the county is short on referees whom without we would not be able to play and enjoy our games. Patrick has represented the Club for many years and it is fitting that he was the recipient of this award. Thank you, Patrick, and we hope to see you on the field for many years to come doing a fine job.
Club Membership: Club Membership for the forthcoming year is now due, it is essential to ensure that Club membership is paid to cover the cost of team affiliations, insurances and player injury fund.
