Don't forget that the club's Annual Golf Day is on June 15th. Members of the organising committee are looking for sponsors and players. More details next week but any suggestions please direct to John McDermott or Stevan Sherry.

Members are reminded of the importance of paying their annual club membership. We all know it takes funds to run the club and it also takes members to ensure that we have a club. At this moment in time, both are lacking. No members, no money, no club! Please contact a member of the committee if you have not yet paid your membership.

Good luck and thank you to the Hickey brothers, John and Michael, who depart for Australia this weekend. We wish them well on their travels and thank them sincerely for the service they have provided us over the past few seasons. We hope you enjoy your travels and we look forward to seeing you both back in the green and white soon.

Many thanks to John Kelly, Denis McCarthy and Luke Kelly for giving up their time on Sunday to line he pitch and put up the nets before the game and also waited to clear the pitch after the second game.

We are always on the look-out for new players of all levels. For further details about the club, go to our website www.stclarets.co.uk or check out our Facebook page St Clarets GAA.

This week's pause for sporting thought is from Cavan footballer Robert Maloney-Derham : "If you went into a game and you thought you were going to lose you shouldn't be going in to play the game."
