In what is a hugely busy
time of preparation for the coming year for St Marys, we think of our many
students and the best wishes of the Club are sent to anyone sitting mock exams
at the moment or preparing for their Leaving or Junior Certificates.

The ever popular underage
program continues for the next 2 weeks in the Ursuline College sports hall from
6:15 for the under 6 age group and 7:00 for the under 8s. These sessions are
for all regardless of experience, with a €2 fee per evening, to try and
encourage the participation in GAA and no previous experience is necessary. Attendence
is good and there are plenty of the “Saturday Coaching Team” on hand to give
guidance and ensure the enjoyment of the sport.
All Underage management
teams are now in place and preparations are well underway for the coming season
, and training schedules will be avaliable shortly.
We will be holding
registration evenings on the 18th and 25th March from
7:30 in the Club house, full details and membership forms avaliable on the
website shortly. On those evenings we
will also have a “try and buy” event to allow the purchase of Club gear. Club
Jerseys, Training Tops, Shorts and Socks will be avaliable to try on and buy in
time for the resumption of Saturday Morning coaching on 28th March.
Adult Football
The Seniors
got off to a good start in the Senior League first round in challenging
conditions with goals from Seamus Cawley (2) and Mark McGoldrick driving the
team to a 3-10 to 0-6 win against St Molaise Gaels at Kent
Park. A special mention to Johnny Martin on his return to action after a
challenging year. A hardy bunch of knowledgeable and well wrapped up supporters
braved the conditions to witness some good football from the old reliables as
well as the new converts to St Marys from Mayo and Offaly.
Good luck to Summerhill College Senior team who play St Jarlath’s in
Connacht semi final next Saturday in Connacht Centre of excellence, players
from our club involved-Niall Crawley, Oisin Kelly, Kyle Cawley, Stephen
Mulligan, Conor Darcy, Nathan Rooney and Hadi Mousa.
Congratulations to Dylan Kilgallon who was a member of the UCD fresher’s
team who won the All Ireland Division 1 championship final during the week
beating UCC in the final.
