Cúl Camp – Success
Crecora Manister GAA in association with Crecora Camogie Club have just completed another wonderful Cúl Camp this past week with over 100 children registered. Thanks to all the Coordinators, Coaches and Helpers involved. Without your dedicated efforts, energy and enthusiasm this camp would not be the success it is. On Wednesday Cathal dropped in to give some encouragement and tips.
Frances Barrett – Recognition
Recently our National School in Crecora marked the retirement of our Deputy Principal Frances Barrett. After an amazing 35years of service Crecora Manister GAA and Crecora Camogie presented Frances with a beautiful garden bench as a token of our gratitude for her contribution to Gaelic Games within the Parish.
We would like to wish Frances a happy and healthy retirement and hopefully she won’t be a stranger at the GAA pitch in the future.
Clarenbridge Garden Centre – Walking Track Flower Beds
A huge thank you to David and all at Clarenbridge Garden Centre, Crecora for the provision of flower beds and plants along our walking track, and for the donation of an additional bench. All this greatly enhances the appearance of our grounds, and as a club, we are extremely grateful.

Match Reports – Intermediate Football
Our Intermediate football team opened their championship campaign on Saturday evening in
Caherconlish against Pallasgreen. Crecora started brightly with the lion’s share of possession in the opening minutes and opened the scoring with a point from a free from Sam Riordan and from a
turnover on the Pallas kickout, worked the ball in to Ciaran Cusack for the opening goal of the
game. Pallasgreen were next to capitalise with some fine play to register their opening point and soon after were in on goal when they were stopped inside the large square resulting in a Black Card for Crecora and a Penalty for Pallas which was superbly saved by Shane O’Connell in the Crecora Goals.
Unfortunately, despite all their possession, Crecora lads failed to score again until the 53rd minute while Pallas put up 7 points on the bounce. A free from Conor Burke stemmed the tide followed by another free 5 mins later from Sam Riordan. Despite relentless pressure in the last couple of minutes, Pallasgreen held tough and denied Crecora a goal scoring opportunity with the full-time whistle sounding with our lads on the wrong end of a 2-point defeat – Crecora 1-03 Pallasgreen 0-08. We move on to our next game against Rathkeale next Friday evening in Ballingarry throws in at 19:30pm – all support welcome.
