Park Hotel Awards
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish Niamh Briggs the very best of luck ahead of the Annual Park Hotel Sports Awards. Niamh had a year to remember in 2013 as she was part of the Irish Ladies Rugby Team that claimed a historic first Grand Slam, with Niamh being one of the leading members of the team. Her contribution to the Grand Slam did not go unnoticed by those involved in Ladies Rugby around the world as in recent weeks she was declared World Player of the Year for 2013, which was fitting recognition for the performances she delivered over the last 12 months. Niamh is always extremely generous with her time and it was very much appreciated by all in the club that she took time out from her hectic schedule to present the medals to our underage players at last Friday’s medal presentation. Once again we congratulate Niamh on her fantastic success in 2013 and wish her the very best of luck on Saturday night and indeed for the year ahead.

Membership
With a number of football Championships due to get underway in the next number of weeks we would ask that all players and indeed non players make a special effort to pay their membership to our Membership Officer Kevin Tobin as soon as possible. Kevin will be in the club grounds on Monday night from 7:30 to 8:30 pm to collect membership from anybody who wishes to pay it.

Club Social
Our Club Social has been fixed for Saturday February 15th in the Park Hotel, and it promises to be a great night where we will be presenting medals to our victorious Senior and Under 21 Football teams and our Junior Hurling Team.  Tickets costing 25 euro can be ordered from Michael Ferncombe, Kevin Tobin, Niamh Enright, Jonathan O’Donovan, Tiernan Murray or Neil Moore.

GAA National Draw
This year for the GAA are staging a National Draw with some truly fantastic prizes on offer. The prize fund is being fully paid for by Croke Park meaning that 100% of the money the club makes from the draw will be kept by the club. Tickets cost €10 each and are currently available to purchase from any member of the Club Committee or the Juvenile Committee.
