Enniscrone/Kilglass GAA notes
November 10, 2014
Dates for your diary
As the winter sets in, we are beginning to plan for our off-season events. The club AGM, Dinner Dance and the annual married vs singles charity match will all take place in December - dates, times and venues for all of the aforementioned outings will be made available within the next week.
Compromise Rules
Best wishes to our own Marty Duffy who travels with the Irish Compromise Rules contingent to Australia today (Monday). Marty is a referee for this year's series and is the first Sligo man to have done so since the competitions inception. Best wishes to everyone involved for this year's series, and congrats to Marty on another fine achievement.
Thanks
As the playing season has now concluded, we extend our thanks to all those from u6 to intermediate who wore the black and amber jersey this year, and thank all those who helped in any way, shape or form in the running of our teams and club in 2014. Hopefully 2015 will bring further success.
100 year anniversary - did you know?
100 years ago in 1914, our club won its first Sligo SFC title under the Enniscrone banner. At the time, the GAA was in its early days, but our parish was blessed with some fine footballers and two further Senior titles came back to the parish soon after - in 1916 Enniscrone won their second title, and in 1929 Kilglass claimed their solitary title as a standalone team. We will endeavour to find more information on the 1914 team in the next few weeks - if you have any pictures or writings in regard to that team, please get in touch.
Blotto
There was no winner of last weekend's Blotto jackpot of €1800 - the numbers drawn were 5, 30 and 36. €25 winners were Albert McHale, Patrick Moyles, Meabh Gallagher and Martina Loftus. Next Saturday's draw will be in the Ocean Sands Hotel for a jackpot of €2000. Your continued support is appreciated.
