* Michael and Anne attended the Club treasurers meeting in the Donard Hotel.
* The local heat of the Down Primary Schools Indoor Camogie tournament took place on Thursday past, the county finals are this Friday.
* The club is looking to buy back any camogie or hurling helmets no longer used by former players. There are a lot of young players for whom the cost of a new helmet is prohibitive. When you began playing the club most likely subsidized your helmet, so return it, get a bit of cash back and enable a new generation of girls to take up the sport.
* Camogie management teams ratified at a special meeting were Senior Sean Caughey, Veronica McGreevy; U16 Michelle Fitzpatrick, Paul Fearon, Fiona Farrell, Helena Rooney; U14 Veronica Baldwin, Jodie Higgins; U12 Michelle Hughes, Sheila McAlinden; U10 Patricia Byrne, Anne McGivern. Anyone else who wants to get involved should complete and return an application form before the next meeting on 25th March.
* There was an encouraging attendance at the first U10 & U12 camogie practices in the hall last Wednesday. Any girls attendance four of the five pre-Easter practices will receive a certificate and a prize at the fifth session on 31st March.
* Hard luck to St Louis camogs especially Sophie, Colleen, Carrie, Noelle, Christina, Emily, Ella and Eimear who lost out by a goal in their All Ireland semi final in Banagher, County Offaly.
* Commiserations to Christopher and Conor who lost heavily in the Shamrock Cup final with Down U21 v Monaghan.
* Good luck to Brendan, James, John and Martin on Saturday with Down in the NFL. We'll be there, travel details from the club.
* The Senior Reserve football league starts on Sunday with a visit to newly promoted Saval. It is important to win the early games and get off to a good start. The Senior footballers also play Saval in a challenge match.
