All Ireland Feile 2019: Fantastic show of support at U14’s coffee morning on Saturday. Many thanks to the parents and blue apron ‘LADIES’ who helped prepare and organise. Rumour has it a couple of capable mums showed signs of earning a ‘blue apron’ of their own!! A brilliant morning for a coffee and a catch up for all. Sincere thanks to the parents, club and community for the much appreciated support. Thanks again to Connor Grimes and Alan Mc Kee; the Bardic Theatre and all those who helped with the St Mungos night also. The fundraising done, preparations complete the focus turns now to the football. Excitement is building and this weekend all roads lead to Mayo. Ádh mór lads.
U14 lads: COUNTY CHAMPIONS 2019!! Hungry, Ambitious, Skillful, Intelligent, Industrious, Physical.

Whilst a lot of us are thinking about our trip to Mayo the U14 lads and management remain grounded and focused. Good luck in Mayo lads and management. Enjoy the journey and experience..
