The best of luck to the Rhode Schools Ladies team who play in the finals on Wednesday May 20th in O'Connor Park.  The best of luck also to their teachers and team trainers Deidre Foy and Paddy Gulfoyle lads, also it shows the great work being done by all the schools in the promotion of our native games.

 

 

 

Hard luck to the Offaly Senior football team and management team who were defeated by Longford in the first round of the Leinster Senior football championship on Saturday evening in O'Connor Park.  It was a disappointing result as Offaly had beaten Longford comprehensively in the Division 4 league final three weeks ago and there was a good Offaly following at the game.  Offaly now go into the qualifiers draw in a few week's time to determine who they will play next.  On the team and panel from the club were Brian Darby, Niall Darby, Niall McNamee, Anton Sullivan, Conor McNamee, Ken Garry, Paul McPadden, Eoin Rigney and James McPadden.

 

 

The Rhode Club would like to thank all those who purchased tickets and attended the Club Faithful function in the Tullamore GAA Centre prior to the game on Saturday evening.  It was a very enjoyable and well organised function thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended a credit to the organising committee sponsored by P.J Rickard. 

 

 

There was no winner of the Rhode GAA Lotto for the week ending 11th of May for a Jackpot of €15,000.  The numbers drawn were 9 13 17 30.  The club would like to thank all those who supported the draw and thanks to Killeen's for the use of their premises and for their help and cooperation.  The following matched three numbers and received €200.  The lotto this week will take place in Doyle's
