MONSTER AUCTION - Rathcline GAA held a Monster Auction on Saturday 27th June at 1pm in Clonbonny which was undoubtedly a resounding success. Local man Eamon O'Flaherty MIPAV, of Property Partners Brady in Maynooth, was the man the club turned to to conduct the auction and he didn't disappoint - the whole event was conducted in a very well organised and professional manner. Sincere thanks to Eamon for giving so generously of his time. The club would also like express their sincere gratitude to all those businesses and individuals who contributed so generously over the last few weeks, without which the event could not have been such a success.

This is a fantastic achievement for Longford to reach another Leinster final at the minor grade, full credit must go to Tony Devlin and his backroom team for managing the squad to another provincial decider.
Rathcline Ladies - Pride of place this week must go to the Rathcline Ladies football team who scored a great championship win away to St. Helen's on Sunday 28th June.

However, they were a transformed outfit in the second half as they completely overwhelmed their opponents to win by three. Final Score: Rathcline 1-12 St. Helen's 1-09. Well done to Brendan, Ciaran and the whole squad on getting their championship campaign off to a flier!
