Outdoor
Hurling
Due to the unavailability of the Friary College because
of exams our outdoor hurling this year will start earlier than in previous
years. Because of these exams we will not be able start back again indoors and
so we will start our outdoor sessions in mid February or early March weather
permitting. We would like to thank all of the people in the Friary with the co-operation
in regards to this matter. Helmets etc will be available to buy at a discounted
rate at these new sessions and all are welcome.
Membership
Just to let everyone know that membership for the current
year is now due. Mentors for each group of players now have membership forms
and there also available if needed from Niamh Enright. We ask all players that
this membership is paid as soon as possible for insurance reasons.

forthcoming year.
Medal Presentation
There was a great turnout in Ballinroad Hall on Thursday
night last for our medal presentation. It was great to see so many youngsters
collecting medals on the night for their playing achievements on the field in
2014. Our guest speaker on the night was Niamh Briggs and we thank her most
sincerely for attending. Also to Tomás Kiely who was our MC on the night a big
thank you must go to also. A special award was presented to outgoing treasurer
of the juvenile section of the club Kevin Tobin for his outstanding work with
the club throughout the years. Overall a very nice evening was had by all
present and a thank you must go to anyone who put work into the night to make
it the success it was.
