Colmcille GFC 5/10k run/walk takes place Sat 27th Sep at 3pm at the Cross Registration from 1pm. Adults €10, u16 €5. All abilities welcome. Hope to see you there. The route will be the same as last year. Refreshments will be served afterwards in Murtaghs with trophy presentations to category winners for male/female, adult/u16 for both distances 5k and 10k. The race should be over in plenty of time for those wishing to watch the All Ireland Hurling Final replay. On Saturday night we will have live music in Murtaghs Lounge from the brilliant up and coming North Longford band POROMA.
Votes of sympathy were passed at the recent executive meeting for families of John Joe Kiernan Fostra, Seamus Mulligan Aughakiernan and Paddy Mulligan Aughagreagh. May they rest in peace.

Hard luck to the U12 team who lost out to Ballymahon in the Div2 league QF last week. Our Juvenile team also lost out in the A championship group stage, beaten by Northern Gaels and Clonguish over the weekend. Hard luck to these young players who trained hard all year and are a credit to the club.
The Minor team were scheduled to play Clonguish in the Minor A Championship group stage. This game was called off at short notice a couple of weeks ago due to a bereavement in the club. Clonguish registered a complaint to the county board who requested that the game be replayed at another date. Clonguish have refused this suggestion and are insisting on taking the points for the game instead. This is obviously very disappointing for all in the club but particularly for the players and management who have put in a massive effort all year and qualified for the A Championship by reaching the B Final.
