Indoor Astro Turf
While the
playing area is now complete, the club needs to raise €75000 to bring our
indoor astro turf complex to completion (heating, electrics, toilets, dressing
room, kitchen, meeting room etc.). In this regard, the club will require the
generosity of the community: individuals, families and businesses, both at home
and abroad. As previously advertised, you can sponsor a brick at €100, a block
at €250 or a wall at €1500. The official launch of our fundraising efforts took
place last weekend, and there will be a draw for cash prizes of €1000 and €500
for those who donate prior to the May Bank Holiday weekend. There will be teams
in the various areas/townlands to contact to donate, and there will also be
weekly collection points held around the parish to facilitate people who wish
to donate. This week on Monday (March 20th) there will be a
collection evening in Gilroy’s, Enniscrone from 8pm to 10pm. Further details of
other payment methods online will be made available this week. Your support at
this extraordinary time in the club’s history is greatly appreciated.
Intermediate
There was a
false start to the season last Sunday when the inclement weather claimed our
intermediate team’s opening fixture of 2017 against Tourlestrane in the Abbott
Cup. Their first game in the competition will now be a home game against
Cloonacool next Saturday at 5pm in Quigabar. Best of luck to everyone involved.
Minor
The
amalgamation of Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey takes place again at minor level
this year. Their first outing is at home to Owenmore Gaels on Monday, March 27th.
Good luck to everyone involved.
U-16
Our U-16
team received a walkover from Easkey last Sunday morning in Division Two. They
will play Tourlestrane on April 3rd in round two.
U-14
Our U-14
boys host Shamrock Gaels in the opening round of the Division Two league next
Sunday morning at 11am in Quigabar. Best of luck to everyone involved.
County scene
Well done to
Josh Ellis, Ciaran O’Dowd, Eoin Hallinan and the Sligo minor team on their
second successive win in the Connacht Minor League against Roscommon last week.
Josh played at full back, while Ciaran was a second half sub. They host Leitrim
in round three next Saturday evening.
St Patrick’s Day parade
Congratulations
to the organisers of a fantastic St Patrick’s Day parade in Enniscrone last
Friday. Despite the poor weather there was a great crowd in the village. Well
done to our U-14s and organisers of our float which was awarded best volunteer
float in the parade.
Blotto
There was no
winner of last weekend’s blotto draw. The jackpot for next Saturday’s draw is €6300.
Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
