Gaelic for Girls

Last Saturday saw our Gaelic for Girls programme come to an end after eight very enjoyable weeks. There was another great turnout on Saturday which was rounded off with a mini-blitz and it was brilliant to see so many smiling faces and some great skills on display which the girls picked up over the course of the eight weeks. Following the mini-blitz all the girls were presented with a medal and certificate as recognition for all their hard work and commitment over the course of the programme. On behalf of the club, I would like to congratulate all the girls who took part and hope they all enjoyed the last eight weeks and hope to see as many of them as possible joining our underage girls' teams for the season ahead.  I would also like to thank all the coaches, young and old, who gave up their time to help out and make Gaelic for Girls programme the great success that it was. All t-shirts will be available for collection next Saturday in the club from 11.00am.
