Table Quiz
The Cross Keys was packed to the rafters on Friday night last for the Kildangan GAA table quiz
First prize of €200 went to the Round Towers team of Stuart Patchell, Stephen Kindregan, Ollie Kearns and Joe O'Brien who scored an impressive 88 out of 100. Taking a very close second prize of €100 was John Byrne, Ìan and Josephine Lambe and Jay Butler. Third place was taken by the Macra na Feirme team led by Dan Lawlor.
Thanks go to Noel Forde who set a hard but fair quiz, Ger Harrision who looked after the sound, John Worrell of the Cross Keys for all the hard work in setting up for the quiz and also for his generosity in sponsoring prizes, and everyone who donated spot prized for the raffle. Finally a very special thanks to all the participants who made the night a brilliant success.
Underage Training
Due to the very poor weather and very low soil temperatures, our pitch has taken longer to recover from the extensive drainage work than originally envisaged.
For the past few weeks Ros Glas has made their pitch available for 10's up to train (Children born in 2000 or earlier). From next Saturday 20th March, we plan to have training for children 10 and younger (2001 and later) in Ros Glas on Saturday Mornings at 10.30.
10's and older will continue with the Saturday afternoon sessions in Ros Glas. The situation will be reviewed after Easter, and hopefully by then soil temperatures will have improved enough to allow some grass growth, which should enable everyone to move back to our own pitch. Thanks to Ros Glas for facilitating us.
Volunteers Required
Successful Gaelic Football clubs are more than just victorious teams on the pitch. Players and coaches are vitally important, but so are volunteers who work hard behind the scenes to help the club function. You don't have to be a Gaelic Football expert to get involved. Whether you're a current player, someone who has hung up their boots or a person who has never kicked a ball in their lives, you could be a valued GAA volunteer.
While the benefits of volunteering are specific to each individual, the inclusive environment of a GAA club is a rewarding place to be for people with differing sets of skills. There are opportunities to get involved for people of all ages, and some of the benefits include:
• Building self-esteem and confidence
• Learning and developing new skills
• Enhancing work experience and building a CV
• Being active and improving health and well-being
• Meeting new people and broadening your social network
• Giving something back to the game you love
• Making a difference in the community
• Having fun!
