CHRISTMAS FAMILY DAY OF FUN PLANNED
Saturday 13th December promises to be an exciting day for all the family as Santa is coming to Town. From 2pm to 6pm Edenderry GAA will turn festive.  All families are welcome to the Pavilion to take part in the festive fun. 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

By now all members should have received their set of accounts for the AGM this coming Saturday.  The 2014 Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday 06 December in the GAA Centre at 6pm. 

Following another busy year each subcommittee has made their  annual reports available on the club website.  Members are encouraged to read the reports online prior to the meeting - if you do not have access to the internet a copy can be requested from the Committee.  Reports will not be read in detail at the meeting but matters arising shall be dealt with.

As ever the AGM is the most important meeting of the year and all members are encouraged to attend.  Given the major announcement made by the Club last week in relation to the purchase of additional lands a full briefing on the process will be outlined to the membership on Saturday evening next.

SHINTY EXHIBITION SUCCESS DESPITE THE RAIN

Following months of preparation John McDonnell and Edenderry GAA sweated over a venue on Saturday morning.  However due to heavy rain the Edenderry pitch was not available and many thanks to Clonbullogue GAA for allowing us to use their facilities at such short notice. 

A win each for Scotland and Ireland in Shinty-Hurling ties.  Scotland Universities Mens Shinty team and the Ireland Camogie team were victorious following two Shinty-Hurling Internationals in Clonbullogue, Offaly on Saturday.

Craig Anderson and Arran MacPhee were joint top-scorers as Scotland Universities claimed a 6-17 (35) to 2-9 (15) win over Ireland.

Anderson bagged 3-2, while MacPhee registered 1-8 in a game which Scotland led throughout.
Two of Anderson's goals arrived in a second half, where the visitors hit Ireland with three unanswered goals inside six minutes of the restart.  The Glasgow Clyde College student netted his first goal in the 15th minute, with Scotland leading by 1-14 (17) to 1-4 (7) at half-time, with Edenderry's Shane Kelly netting the Ireland goal.

Fort William's Arran MacPhee capped an impressive year, which saw him also unbeaten at International level with the Scotland Under 21 and Under 17 sides, with some fine scores in this contest.  MacPhee scored three two-pointers in the opening half, and netting Scotland's fourth goal six minutes after the restart, after Conor Sweeney and Anderson netted a goal each.

Westmeath trio Eoin Price, Derek McNicholas and Niall O'Brien worked hard, with Ireland finishing strongly.  Dave Ryan bagged a late goal for the hosts after a powerful long-range strike, but Anderson completed his hat-trick late on to ensure a 20-point win.  Offaly's Grainne Egan bagged 2-3, as Ireland failed to trail an entertaining Shinty-Camogie tie, as they emerged 4-7 to 0-0 winners.
Despite the nature of the final score-line, Ireland were forced to work hard throughout, with Scotland camped in their half for large periods.

Goals from Offaly's Helen Dolan and Kildare's Aoife Trant helped Ireland to a 2-2 to 0-0 interval lead, with Egan netting two final quarter goals.
