Chairman's Update: The results at the weekend were the perfect ending to what has been a tremendous couple of weeks for Watty graham GAC. Players and supporters are on a high after a masterful display which overpowered our neighbours at Owenbeg. This on top of recent results at underage in all three codes sets us up nicely for the next few weeks. Congratulations and thanks to the mentors who making this all possible. 

Off the field of play we have shown what a strong club we are with the work that has been ongoing over the past week. Our summer camp continues to be the envy of many clubs and this year's event culminated successfully on Friday afternoon when 140 plus children completed a week's activities. Many thanks to Bronagh, Nuala, Caoimhe and the other young team leaders for their organisational skills and work carried out to make the week such a success.

Thanks are also extended to the many stewards who worked tirelessly at yesterday's games to make the day a success. Finally a massive thank you to the lady members who were slogging away at the Glen Centre as they prepared dinners for 200 plus patrons at the funeral dinner. On behalf of the club I thank everyone for the tremendous effort. Up the Wattys!
