Defibrillator training the club would like to thank Gerry Ward for the excellent presentation last Tuesday 4th March which he delivered to club members & local residents. Hopefully this won’t be needed but always good to have the defibrillator on hand at Concra pitch and people trained in its use. Thanks also to Jimmy Lacey for providing the venue for the training.
Seachtain na Gaeilge as we prepare to celebrate our National day & Seachtain na Gaeilge which runs from 1st to 17th March, our U8’s & U10’s are participating in a colouring competition & our U12’s will be asked to select their favourite hurler agus dean cur síos air nó uirthi. Tá súil againn go mbainfidh na páistí taitneamh as na comórtais seo! Cuimhnigh ar d’ainm a líonadh and return to your coach at training on the week beginning 11th March. Go n-éirí an t-ádh libh.
La fhéile Pádraig sona dhaoibh go léir dár dteaghlaigh agus dár gcairde sa bhaile agus thar lear.
U8’s Well done to our U8s who played their 2nd DKIT Blitz tonight organised by RDHO Eamon Blaney. They played 7 games against St. Brigid’s Belfast, St. Paul’s Belfast, Knockbridge, Newry, Craobh Rua, Inniskeen and Naomh Moninne. Great skill and effort on display.
Condolences are extended to Declan Connolly & his family on the death of his father-in-law, John Francis Moore Wicklow & Dublin who passed away last week. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
