January 09, 2012Underage Presentation Night: After a very successful year last year in the underage grades please note that there will be a presentation night in the Glasshouse hotel on Friday, 27th of January. On the night, league and championship medals will be presented to the successful U-14, U-16 and U-18 boys teams which is a remarkable achievement for the club. We really hope to make the night a special one for the players and parents and hope that as many from the club attend. Further details will be circulated to parents and players over the coming weeks.

Many thanks to all the people who helped out over the past week in getting St. Mary's ready for the FBD game.
