St Kierans club notes

St. Kieran's GAA

Many thanks to all those who attended the Mass for deceased members and commemoration of our past hurling teams on Saturday evening in Ardagh Hall. On the night we commemorated the 1956, 1964 and 1977 hurling team's involved and winning West Junior Hurling titles. It was great to see such a large crowd in attendance as it gave many of our past players the opportunity to reminisce about the glory days of yesteryear. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Ahern who exhibited his collection of old photograph's and newspaper articles from days of old. Many thanks also to Fr. Noonan who celebrated the mass for deceased members and Deirdre Ambrose, Christina Mackessy, Ann Geraghty and Moira O' Donovan and everyone who generously donated sandwhiches and buns for the occasion.

Minor / U21 Medal Presentation - Club Quiz

We will be holding a table quiz on Saturday March 3 in Neary's Bar, Ardagh in order to raise much needed funds for the 2018 playing season. Also on the night the minor and u21 football teams will be presented with their medals following their respective west and county championship victories in 2017. We would encourage as many people as possible to attend on the night for what promises to be an enjoyable nights entertainment.

National Club Draw:

St. Kieran's GAA club are currently selling tickets as part of the GAA's national club draw. As part of this initiative GAA clubs retain all money's generated from the draw. The draw will take place on Thursday March 8 and with a number of excellent prizes on offer we would encourage you all to please support this fundraising programme. Tickets can be purchased from all St. Kieran's officers and senior players. There are a wide variety of excellent prizes on offer including a 2018 Renault Dynamique, a travel voucher worth €2000, All Ireland senior football / hurling ticket / hospitality packages, shopping vouchers to the value of €1000 to the retailer of your choice and €500 Supervalue / Centra shopping vouchers.

Limerick GAA Development Draw:

We would encourage all of our members that still have outstanding membership money from the Mackey draw to please get in contact with your local draw co-ordinator during the next week. The Mackey draw is a vital source of income for the club, without which it would be extremely difficult to run the club each year. 2017 was one of our most successful years to date as we had winners in the vast majority of the draws. With over 200 members we have one of the largest memberships within the county and we would ask for your continued support once again into 2018. If there is anyone that would be interested in becoming a member we would encourage you to get in contact with any club officer.

Membership 2018:

As we move into 2018 and the playing season fast approaches it is vitally important that all our players pay their membership for the coming campaign. Each of our players is required to pay their membership fees and will not be allowed to take to the field of play in 2018 having not done so.
