Our Minor, Reserve and Senior footballers were all in action on St. Patrick’s morning along with our guests, the Senior footballers from Letterkenny. We had two games and a big thank you to Brian McGinn who refereed both games. As usual the tea after the matches was very much appreciated. It is vital that all youth players and adult players register for 2012 as well as all supporters.
Membership to be renewed before 31st March. There will be an opportunity to register in the Parish Centre this Sunday 25th March, 11.00am to 1.00pm.
