Sponsor A big thank you to our ongoing sponsor, Pete McMahon, Centra & Supervalu who presented club representatives with a new set of jerseys last week ahead of the commencement of the Senior Hurling Championship this coming week. The club appreciates Pete’s generosity & his ongoing commitment to the club.
Best of luck to Shay Mallie who has been selected to play at half time during the All Ireland Hurling Final this coming weekend. Whether you line out for Cork or Clare Shay, I’m sure you’ll be brilliant. A wonderful honour for you and your family, enjoy the experience. No doubt this will not be the last time you grace the hallowed turf of Croke Patrick!
Congratulations to our U16 player, Cathal Malone who was chosen to play at full back for UlsterU16’s last week when they played a Dublin selection. The Ulster men won both matches impressively. Well done to Cathal, a wonderful achievement to be part of that panel.
