We would also ask that as the summer ends and autumn/winter approaches members consider the elderly in the community and offer whatever support and company they can.
Back to School: Go raibh maith agaibh to the many coaches and volunteers who helped out with camps of all descriptions over the summer holidays. A daunting but exciting time for those starting new schools whether its P1, Year 8 on Uni. Ádh mór in the year ahead to all our students.

Supporters: It’s a massive couple of weeks for all our supporters. The club and players need as much positive support from the sidelines as the Senior men hit the Championship. The Under 16 lads are maintaining top spot in their respective leagues with both 1A and 3A playing top of the table clashes this week. Also we will need as much support from the village to run the Francie Donnelly U10 Tournament this Sun 8th Sept. Whether you can referee or umpire, cook or run about please offer your services. Always great to feel the community spirit at these events.
Comhghairdeas: to John and Laura Gallagher on their new arrival. Best wishes from all at the club.

Senior Ladies: Championship Quarter Final V Cookstown ended in defeat 1-14 to 0-12. This brings the senior ladies season to an unexpected end. The seniors have worked really hard to build into a top level team and while there is still work to be done this year was a decent step forward. Thank-you to the girls and their management for all your commitment and hard work. We can look forward to 2020 with even more confidence.
Murphys Gloves Ladies Junior Championship semi final: We are hosting the Murphys Gloves Ladies Junior Championship semi final between Coalisland and Rock at 6:45pm on Fri 6th Sept.
Guess the Score: Thank you to all who supported the Ladies Guess the score. Don’t think anyone could have predicted the draw as it turned out but watch out for young Yasmine Houlihan as a future pundit having predicted Dublin 1:17 V Kerry 1:16. Well done Yasmine with the closest score you pick up the £100. Special thanks also to Cara Kirby from our U12 team who worked so hard and was our top seller.
