ORLA GREHAN - VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR!
Last Wednesday was a great day all involved with Ferbane-Belmont minor club as Orla Grehan was awarded the Junior Volunteeer of the year award at a ceremony in Farmleigh in Dublin. Orla collected her award from the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, Martin Cullen TD, in recognition of her outstanding work with young players and her timeless efforts in improving her coaching skills. Aside from being a member of Ferbane Ladies football club herself, Orla has spent countless hours working with some of the youngest members of the club and her enthusiasm and commitment has been of massive benefit to everyone involved. Last week's award was fitting recognition for her work and heartiest congratulations go out to her from everyone interested in local GAA.

GOOD LUCK
Best of luck to the West Offaly Lions who take on Creggs this Saturday in the Connacht 1B league decider.

VODAFONE SUPPORT YOUR CLUB PROGRAMME
Ferbane GAA is now part of the Vodafone support your club programme, which means that if you are a vodafone customer, you can sign up to ensure that 5% of your bill or your pay-as-you-go top up goes to the club in the form of a donation. Signing up costs absolutely nothing to the user and will be very useful to the club, so please take the couple of minutes to sign up at www.supportyourgaaclub.ie. There is also a bonus for users switching to Vodafone, so if you know of anyone moving networks, please be sure to tell them about this in advance.
