VISIT OF ASKAMORE KILRUSH:
On the weekend of 13th & 14th February, Crecora Manister GAA Club  were delighted to welcome our host club from Féile Peil na nÓg 2015, Askamore-Kilrush of Wexford, to the club.
On Saturday morning the under 16 hurling teams of both clubs played a challenge match in UL North Campus which aptly ended in a draw.
Later on that evening, both teams traveled into the Gaelic Grounds to watch the Limerick versus Wexford league game. At 9 o’clock, a presentation of medals took place in the Weigh Inn Ballysheedy. Mass was attended on Sunday morning in Manister and after that the Askamore team and mentors returned to Wexford.
A great weekend was had by all and the Askamore-Kilrush contingent were a pleasure to entertain. This visit has forged stronger bonds between the two clubs and both teams will have many great memories from the weekend.

SYMPATHIES:
The club extends its sympathies to our former chairman Eddie Sheehan and his family on the death of his mother, Anne née Greene, late of Clougherviller, Herbertstown and formerly of Ballinlough, Kilteely. Solas geal na bhFlaithís ar a hanam.

Our under 21 hurlers (Tory Gaels) begin their 2016 campaign next Sunday 21st February when they are down to play Bruff in Staker Wallace at 4.30pm in the first round of the South Championship.

Visit of Askamore-Kilrish
This coming weekend 13th & 14th Feb our host club from Féile 2015, Askamore-Kilrush from County Wexford, will pay a return visit to Limerick.
They will play our lads  in an under 14 hurling challenge game in UL North Campus before going to the Limerick v Wexford National Hurling League match in the Gaelic Grounds Saturday evening. Later on they will attend a presentation in the Weigh Inn Ballysheedy.
On Sunday morning they will go mass in Manister after which they will head back to Wexford.
Thanks in advance to all those who are volunteering to put up traveling players and coaches for the weekend and this return visit should be a great opportunity for the club to return the sort of hospitality that was shown to our under 14 football team and coaches when we attended Féile Peil na nÓg 2015 in Askamore.
