Sport / Club Notes

Dertmot Earley Youth Initiative: During next week's mid-term break from school, Éire Óg will be running the prestigious Dermot Earley Youth Leadership Initiative for young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen.

Five places are available and participants will be giving a talk by Tipperary senior hurler Brendan Maher as well as being brought to Croke Park for the Ireland V Australia international rules fixture in a few weeks time.

This unique programme aims to foster a new generation of young Irish leaders. All participants who complete the course will be awarded a certificate in Youth Leadership and Community Action from the National University of Ireland, Galway.

It would be fantastic to see more people from our club sign up for what promises to be a fulfilling, fun and rewarding programme.

Junior A: We defeated Kildangan in the county semi final over the weekend on a scoreline of 3-10 to 2-2. The final is fixed for this Saturday at 1pm in The Ragg against Toomevara. We hope a huge crowd from the club come and support these wonderful girls who have put in a massive effort all year under the watchful eyes of Kieran O Brien and Noel Coffey.

Flag Weekend: We wish to thank everyone who volunteered last weekend, the various businesses around the town for allowing to collect outside their premises and all who so kindly donated to our flag collection. This is a vital fundraiser for the club and once again this year it was a huge success.
