Drumkeerin GAA notes
June 30, 2009
Three in a row for Joe and Co
The third of the club's four table quizzes was held in Wynne's Bar on Sunday night. Thanks to everyone that attended. A special word of thanks to Seamus Gallagher who stood in as quizmaster at short notice and Laurine and Camilla for once again avidly preparing the questions. Also thank you to Wynnes who sponsored a bottle of baileys and a Ä30 fuel voucher. Joe Early was once again part of a winning team this time with Eamon O'Grady Snr, Rosaleen Davitt and Gillian Forde. If you think you can stop a clean sweep come along to the final table quiz which will be held in Davitt's on Sunday night. A table of four will cost Ä40 for adults and Ä20 for juveniles. To date the response has been terrific and with only one to go we hope to see as many people in this Sunday to support a great cause.
VHI Cl Camps
I have been asked to remind club members that the VHI Cl camps will arrive in Drumkeerin this later this month on the 27th to the 31st of July. The Vhi GAA Cl Camps provide boys and girls - between the ages of 7 and 13 - with a week of activity during the summer holidays which revolves around maximising enjoyment and sustaining participant involvement in Gaelic Games. All of the games are catered for including football, hurling and camogie. Places are still available. Cost per child is Ä70 with the 2nd child in the family paying Ä50 and the third and fourth child paying Ä40 each. If you are interested please contact co-ordinator Thomas Keenan on 087 6591049. Places are limited so please do not delay.
Lotto
Lotto takes place this weekend. As it is the first draw of the month new tickets sellers are asked to co-ordinate with Eamon O'Grady Snr. The new sellers are Eamon O'Grady Jnr, Keith Gallagher and Patrick Byrne. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Thanks also to Gallaghers who sponsored the latest rounds of lotto tickets. It is greatly appreciated.
Underage football
Championship football is in the air with most of our teams set to kick off their campaigns in the coming month. Our minors get it started tonight when they take on Carrigallen away at 7pm in the 13 a-side championship. Then on Friday our League winning Under 14 team take on Leitrim Gaels in the 11 a-side championship at home at 7pm. Good luck to all involved and lets up it marks the start of a great month. Let us get behind all of them.
Division 3
Our Division 3 side have a massive game against Ballinaglera this Sunday. The match is away at 2pm. Please come a long and support in what is a vital game for all involved.
Leitrim v Longford
Good luck to Colm and the rest of the Leitrim Senior Football team as they take on Longford in the qualifiers this Saturday. A lot of talk is going on down here in Longford that this will be a walkover - we know that is not the case.
