Senior training commenced last weekend, with an encouraging turnout. Training continues this week, on Tuesday and Friday at 8.00pm. Full turnout is expected. The treble-winning Minor team of last year will be having their victory function on the night of Friday 19th March next. They will be presented with their Special Minor League, League and Championship medals for their respective campaigns last year. The function will be held in Cooney's Hotel, with a four-course meal on the night. Presenting the medals will be Mayo's Trevor Mortimer. The players will be guests of honour, however tickets for all other wishing to attend cost Eu25 and are available from any of the Minor Committee, and we hope for a large turnout on the night.
