Registration: It’s that time of year again. The club would ask that as many people as possible register by signing up to Club Donaghmore. It represents great value for money for our members and is an essential revenue for the development of the club.

Presentation night: for all our Seniors, Reserves and Minors is now confirmed for Sat 29th Feb in Quinns Corner. Sure to be a great nights craic for the club. Food and entertainment on the night. Tickets and final details will follow shortly. We would ask that everyone gets their tickets early so we can confirm numbers.🏅
Save the Date: After last years very successful St Patricks Day Breakfast the culture committee are planning an even bigger event. Sure to be a great morning for the family so why not stay at home for a feed and a few tunes. Contact Mari Mc Donnell on 07866 718341 if you can help or offer any ideas for our St Patrick’s Day Celebrations.🍀
Also, please look out for an appeal for support in hosting the Feile na Og in June. The club will be hosting both a boys and a girls team for this years feile which will be held locally. This is one of the biggest events in the GAA youth calendar and for those who visited Mayo this year is not only a football tournament but an exhibition of generosity and hospitality. This will be a great opportunity to put Donaghmore on the map and will undoubtedly bring out the best the club has to offer.
Culture: The club is hosting a Céili this Saturday 25th Jan in the Bardic. Great night’s dancing for young and old and of course a great chance to meet new people. Refreshments will be served. Save the date and don’t be afraid to come along and experience something new but old?
Sympathies & support: The club, all our players and members continue to offer our thoughts, prayers and support for all families in our club and our community dealing with sickness and bereavement at this time. Please remain considerate to not just the elderly but anyone who finds themselves lonely and make an extra special effort to call or visit.
