Gortletteragh Notes
April 22, 2014Gortletteragh U12 footballers set off to Croke Park early on Wednesday morning. The day trip was filled with fun and excitement for these girls and boys. They arrived at the Cusack Stand at 9:45 and both U12 teams played three games each against teams from neighbouring Connacht Clubs. For the majority of these children it was their first time in Croke Park so it was a great honour for them to represent their club. When the games were over, the players, mentors and parents were given a guided tour of Croke Park and the Museum which was most interesting. Thanks to our loyal supporter Barry Costello for his generous donation towards the cost of transporting the players. Best wishes to Barry in Australia and looking forward to his return to Gortletteragh in the Autumn. Great credit goes to Mark Heslin and his mentors for organising the trip. For all those players who participated in the blitz, we hope they will have longlasting memories of their day.

Our first and second teams took on St Mary's at home over the weekend and unfortunately came out the wrong side of both matches.
