Irish Class: The new 8 week beginners and intermediate classes will start in Sept (times and days TBC). It would be great to hear more and more Irish spoken amongst our members. No matter how much or how little irish you have this is a great wee course at a pace that suits all. Contact Seán Antón Ó Conalláin on 07709714100 or saconlon15@hotmail.co.uk to register interest. Everyone Welcome.
Supporters: Hard fought draws always get the heart racing. Anyone that was at the Seniors and Reserves match V Ardboe or the U16 match V Kildress will know what I mean. It takes all of the momentum from the supporters sometimes, so please get out there and really cheer our footballers on. Also we will need as much support from the village to run the Francie Donnelly U10 Tournament on 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.
