The time has come round again quickly for us to hold our Club Annual General Meeting.
Our AGM will be held in Manister Community Centre on Tuesday 11th December at 8.30pm
We invite our Club Members, Players, Parents, Coaches and all interested parties in our community to attend.
All are welcome, see you there.
Saturday 27th October was a truly memorable day as the Liam McCarthy Cup was brought to the Crecora Manister GAA grounds.
Senior stars Diarmaid Byrnes, Richie McCarthy and Barry Nash were in attendance and were very generous with their time to the
large crowd which turned out to celebrate the long awaited All Ireland win.
The celebration started with an underage blitz and local musical and dancing entertainment. Matt O’Callaghan was the MC on the
day and did a great job making our guests feel at ease while getting an insight into the background to the All Ireland win.
Club Chairman John McCarthy spoke of behalf of the club and extended his thanks to the players and management who gave
us a year to remember. The event was organised by a committee of GAA and Camogie club members Pat Quirke, Noel Kennedy,
Noel Murphy, Mags Moloney, Annette Byrnes, Pat Walsh. Thanks also to James Bateman who chauffeured the players and to
Diane Condon for photographs and to all who contributed in any way.
Check out some of the photos from the day:

JUNIOR FOOTBALLERS
Our Junior Footballers sit on top of the division 4 All County League Division following their recent victory (3-10 to 1-10) over Ahane. With four wins from four, a solid performance in the final round should ensure top place. The victory over Ahane was achieved while missing a number of experienced players and showed good strength in depth of panel with several young players such as Peter Boohan, Mark Shanahan, Karl Moloney, Shane O’Connell, Tomás Connolly Donncha Connolly coming to the fore. A feature of the game was the point scoring of Rob Henihan, Gary O’Connell & Darrack Skelly and well taken goals by Damien Kearney & Karl Moloney.
Panel on the night: Rob Sweeney, Peter Boohan, David Macken, Stephen Donoghue, Cathal Scully (0-1), Mark Shanahan, Shane O’Connell, Karl Moloney (2-0), Darrach Skelly (0-2), Gary O’Connell (0-3), Damien Kearney (1-0), Liam Quirke (0-1), Seán Keyes, Rob Henehan (0-3), David Cregan, Tomás Connolly, Donncha Connolly.

COUNTY MINORS
Commiserations to Cathal O’Neill, James Conheady and the rest of the Limerick Minor Hurling team who bowed out of the 2018 Championship against Kilkenny last Saturday.
Cathal and James experienced great victories in 2018 against Tipperary, Cork and Clare and hopefully will have a bright future ahead in the green and white.
