Shamrocks GAA Notes
August 03, 2010
Have Fun and Be Cul:
The Camp will take place in MUCKLAGH from the 9th August to 13th August from Monday to Friday, 10.00am to 2.30pm.
The Cul Camps are one of the best ways for boys and girls to begin playing hurling and football, where they will encounter an environment based around skills, teamwork and fun. They are also a means by which kids already playing our national games can showcase their talents in front of inter-county senior stars.
Instruction is provided by expert coaches from around Offaly and beyond, and a famous face or two from the world of Gaelic Games are sure to be seen during the camp.
Each registered child will receive the Cul Camps kit, which includes a jersey, shorts, socks and bag.
Lotto:
The winning numbers in this week's draw were 2, 15, 16 and 26. There were one match three winner of €400: John Killeavy (O Connors). Next week's draw will take place in the Thatch. The jackpot is €8,400 so get out there and buy your ticket; if you're not in, you can't win!
Pitch Advertising:
We are presently asking any Business that is interested in advertising around Mucklagh Pitch and Stand to get in touch with the Chairman - Denis Condron or the Secretary - John Mollin.
This is a very cheap and effective form of advertising.
SFC:
The senior footballers take on St Brigid's on Sunday evening in Gracefield at 6.00pm. Best of luck to the squad and management.
All support would be appreciated.
Shamrocks underage News:
Colin Dunne Hurling Skills:
The Dunne family, Roscore, have kindly donated trophies for a hurling skills competition for under 10's, 12's and under 14's.
The U10s have been practicing their frees, line cuts, long pucks etc over a number of weeks.
The U12s have been informed of the details but word may not yet have reached the U 14s.
Though originally intended for July, the competition would probably work better towards the end of August when players are back off holidays. There are trophies for each individual year between 9 and 14, which will give all players a fair chance. The competition is being run in memory of Shamrocks star man, Colin, and sincere thanks to Tom, Bernie and Ciara whose kind gesture has made this Summer's hurling more interesting for a lot of young hurlers.
Under 12 Hurling League:
The A and B Finals of the u12 League are not being forgotten. With so many on holidays teams would be too depleted at the moment. Late August again maybe!
