We start the notes this week by passing our condolences to Liam Sloan and indeed the wider Sloan family on the death of Willie John Sloan. Willie John had been quite poorly over Christmas yet his passing on Saturday last was still quite sudden. We hope that in the coming days and weeks that the memories of a long and mainly healthy life of Willie John will offer comfort to Liam and his family.
Congratulations to our senior team players Cathal Crilly, Michael Cunningham and Rory Burns who played for Down,Queens GAA and St Mary’s College in the Dr. McKenna Cup. Unfortunately though none of the teams made it to the next stage, nonetheless it was good experience for the three players’

It’s that time of year again where we ask all our playing and social members to register. Over the past few months the committee have been working to put in place a new system where all registration can be completed on-line from our club web site. This has been created to make it so much easier to register as a club member. All different categories of membership are catered for including various payment options. Parents can register their children on-line also. Please avail off this new system when it goes live in the next week or so….
