SUPERVALU GETS BEHIND THE BALL THIS SUMMER WITH THE GAA.

SuperValu stores kicked off nationwide on Thursday 10th a nine-week programme which will see individual retailers donate 55,000 GAA footballs to clubs across the country. Through the initiative, SuperValu customers will receive ‘#BehindTheBall’ tokens, which they can then use to allocate to a local GAA club of their choice at the in-store collection points.

Our Saturday morning coaching continues this Saturday from 10am-11am in Connolly Park. For ages 4-10 years. A fun introduction to football. To participate kids must be registered. See the club Facebook page for further details. Please share and spread the word!

For anyone to join up with any of our underage team from U-10 to U-18 or to play senior football please contact Niall on 0877609420.

Check out our new underage kit now available to buy at Jako Sports. This will be the playing kit for our U-10 and U-8 teams. The T-shirt (a requirement for U-8 and 10's) is €15, with an option of shorts and socks for €22 total. Sizes catering right down to our nursery kids.

The Club shop is now online. Club Merchandise includes jerseys, socks, shorts, club tops, trousers and jackets. Get yours now! Visit our Facebook page for details.

Owenmore Gaels GAA Club are delighted to announce they will host the All Ireland u16 ‘A’ Championship semi-final on Wednesday, July 4 @ 7:30 p.m. The semi-final will see Galway and Donegal do battle and will go to extra time if necessary. Good luck to both teams and we look forward to welcoming the teams and their supporters to Connolly Park.

Team News

The men’s Division 3 team made it three wins in a row in the league after beating St. Marys on a scoreline of 1-16 to 1-8 last Saturday evening in Kent Park. Next up for the senior men is a home tie against Ballymote in Connolly Park this Sunday at 1pm. The winner earns a place in the Abbott Cup Final.

The men’s Division 4 team were well beaten on Friday last against a well drilled Drumcliffe/Rosses-point.

Heartbreak last weekend for the U12 girls in the “A” plate final against St Farnans. Definitely the best performance of the season even though they couldn't get the win it deserved. The final score of 13-5 doesn't tell the whole story of what an extremely competitive match it was. Hold your heads high girls, the championship awaits!

Well done to the U12& U11 boys who played out two entertaining games against St. Johns in Connolly Park on Tuesday last.

Thanks to everyone who bought tickets throughout the year and continues to support the club.

Finally…Owenmore Gaels GAA Club would like to wish all our members currently doing their Junior and Leaving Certificate exams the best of luck. Once completed we look forward to seeing you all back out playing
