Birthday: A big happy birthday to the Grove field that is officially 130 years old tomorrow 22nd February 2017. Football has been played at the Grove since 1801 but on Sunday 22nd February 1887 it had its first game under GAA rules, a game between Bellingham and Drumleck. Down the years every kind a final and a few inter-county matches have been played in the Grove and for the record it has never been ploughed. Although the Grove may not be everyone's cup of tea and not be perfect, it is that imperfection that makes it unique from all the rest, for all of us at O'Connell's GFC. Happy Birthday the Grove Field!
Sheelan Cup: We lost by ten points on Saturday night in Dundalk against the Clans who were just stronger in vital areas of the field, the lads battled hard and had chances with a lot of wides especially from frees. As you can see from the team below we are still playing without some of our regulars due to injuries and some who are not back yet and fielding a fairly young team with a few of our older players. Hopefully we can get a few more back in the coming weeks, but it's still early days yet. No game next weekend, then we play St. Fechins in the last game of our group in the Sheelan Cup on Sunday week.
