Membership Forms
Membership forms and Code of Conduct forms for most age groups are been given out during the week. Coaches are asked for their assistance in getting this done in an orderly and efficient manner and parents/guardians and players are asked to sign, complete and return as soon as possible.
Many thanks to all of those who have already completed and returned their forms, your prompt co-operation is much appreciated.

New Members Welcome!
If anyone is interested in having their child join our club, we would invite them to come out to the pitch and speak with the coaches who will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
We would also encourage any of our existing young members to bring a friend with them to their next training session and they can see at first hand what our club can offer them.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade
Coaches will be giving out details over the next week or so regarding this year’s entry into the St. Patrick’s Parade, more details next week.

Walk a Mile, Share a Smile Update
Just to remind everyone that we are still walking every Monday evening at 6.30pm. Participants fill in an envelope at Centra and show whether they wish to contribute to the Juvenile GAA or SERT. The fee is €1 per mile and the walk is from Centra, out the New Line, down by St. Augustine’s College in Duckspool and in the Burgery and back to Centra, which is just about 2 miles, so the cost per walk would be €2.
The organised walk takes place each Monday at 6.30pm but people can walk anytime they wish. We will keep a record of the people walking and a chart will be available after a few weeks. That’s the reason for writing your name on the envelope.
So far, over €600 has been collected for our club, well done and thanks to all..... and keep on walking!

U16 Football
Our U16 footballers played Clashmore in the Western semi - final last Wednesday evening at home. This was a good game and at half time we trailed by a point 1-05 to 0-09. In the second half we took our chances when we got them, and in the end that was the difference between the teams, with Ballinacourty running out winners by 3 points in the end. Final Score: Ballinacourty 4-09, Clashmore 2-12.
