30 Year Celebration Book  

Our 30 year celebration book is on sale in local shops and from club members. The book is full of interesting articles from club members and local celebrities and tells the story of our club since it was founded in The Carraroe Social Centre in 1987. It tells stories of the joys and sorrows, the wins and losses of our club teams over those years and the effects they have had on the players and those involved with the teams. It is a great publication and it would make an ideal Christmas present for somebody at home or abroad.
