Abbott Cup

It might be the start of December next weekend but our intermediate team will be in action on the field. They will play Tourlestrane in the Abbott Cup final (time, date and venue TBC) in the last club fixture of the year. This is a warm-up competition designed to conclude in the early part of the football season, but various reasons out of our control have pushed it back. Nonetheless the team and management will attempt to finish their year on a hight. Best of luck to manager Pat and all the players. Your support would be appreciated - we’ll make the fixture details available when they are made available.

Married vs Singles

Our very popular Married vs Singles match will take place this year on Wednesday December 27th at 2.30pm in Quigabar. We are also hoping to involve our Gaelic for Mothers and Others in proceedings. It promises to be another fantastic day, all in aid of our two designated charities: this year, they will be the Civil Defence and the River Moy Search and Rescue. Management teams are set to be appointed in the coming week, and no doubt both teams will eagerly start their preparations ahead of the big encounter! Keep an eye on our social media platforms for further updates in the coming weeks.

Provincial duty

Well done to Marty Duffy on refereeing the Connacht Club Football final between Corofin and Castlebar Mitchels last weekend. Karl Finnerty was one of Marty’s umpires.

At last Friday’s club meeting, votes of sympathy were extended to the Sweeney, Farris, McDonnell, Foody, Hannon and O’Dowd families following their recent bereavements.
