A small number of members have yet to pay for 2014 and we would be grateful if any unpaid member could contact Ivan Neary on 087-6577541 to arrange payment. This draw is a major source of revenue for the club and we need as many club members and supporters as possible to get involved for 2015. There will be 10 monthly draws from March until December with the top prize each month of €13,000. Entry to the draw is just €10 per month or €100 annually. Any person who wishes to join as a new member for 2015 can also contact Ivan on this number.

U16 Division 2A Football.
On Monday night we played our second match of the season against Deel rangers in Coolyroe. We came up against a speedy team who used the ball well. On the day we couldn't match them and we were beaten 4 12 to 2 6. But not to worry we will improve on this for our next match.
U14's
No matches this week and our next match is on 13th May, football against Galbally. Football Training this week Wednesday night 6:30 to 7:30.
U12 Challenge
On Friday night we togged out in Ardagh with our U11 and U12 players coming together to play Knockaderry in a challenge at home. We had great numbers and thanks to all the mentors who managed to rotate all the players on and off of the team on the night. We did very well overall and we were able to try a lot of players in different positions. This was great for all of us as the coaches go to see a lot of stylish play. Once we settled in the first third we really turned on the style. A lot of skills were on display and while there is a year of improvement ahead of us it was a good start to our football year.
U10 Blitz
We had our first blitz of the season last Friday in Knockaderry. We had a good team and played very well. Well done to all our players on the night it was great to see ye all trying so hard and doing so well.
Under 8 hurling & Football
If there are any parent/parents willing to manage the U8 this year please contact Deirdre Ambrose 087 9509218 or David Woulfe 086 2205572. If 2 or 3 parents get involved it will be no great workload for anyone and it is enjoyable and rewarding work which hugely benefits our children. There are many supports available, including coaching training, and David Woulfe will be organising the rota again this year to help out the mentors at training.
