The club had a very successful year at underage levels winning three tournaments run by the club. The Under 8 team won the Darren O'Donnell tournament for the fourth year while the Under 10 side won the Frank Young Cup defeating Castletown Geoghegan and Ahaskeragh/Foghanagh (Galway). The inaugural Artie Pyke Cup was won by the Under 12 team. The Minor side are in the 'B' County Final where they face neighbours Fr. Dalton's in a real local derby. The match is provisionally fixed for the St. Loman's Astro-turf pitch in Mullingar this Saturday at 11.00 a.m.
Another highlight of the year was the construction of the Hurling Ball Wall in Pairc Chiaráin. This is a huge asset to the club and is continually used by both juveniles and adults to improve their skills.
The outgoing Chairman Kevin Jordan thanked all the clubs players and mentors for their work and dedication for the year and hoped they enjoyed the year. He also thanked Athlone G.A.A. for the use of their facilities at Pairc Chiaráin and help during the year. Kevin also thanked all the club sponsors and supporters without whom it would be impossible to continue the promotion of hurling in the area.
At the conclusion of the meeting a minutes silence was observed in memory of club President Artie Pyke who sadly passed away earlier in the year.
