Sports Capital Funding
Our Club received fantastic news last week that we have been approved for grant funding of €84,819 towards the provision of the 55 metre All Weather Facility at the hurling wall at the pitch.
While some own funding has been raised to date for this project, we are not there yet, but the intention is to now proceed with the project.
With everyone putting their support towards this, we will deliver a fantastic facility in 2022 for all our GAA & Camogie players from U6’s to adult.
Please support the fundraising drive that will be rolled out in the coming weeks.
Many thanks to all involved for their work and efforts during the grant application process.

Table Quiz
Many thanks to everyone who supported our table quiz fundraiser in Yellowtown last Friday night 11th February.

A big thank you to quizmaster Kevin Hayes and congratulations to the winning team of John Keyes, Nancy Keyes, Stephen Conway and Anne Conway and to the runners up Bridget Burke, Siobhán Kennedy, Vera Leahy and Annette Byrnes.

My Life / GAA Healthy Club-Every Step Counts Initiative
A reminder that this initiative continues until Wednesday the 23rd February 2022.
If a club logs 4,000km between all its members during the five weeks period it will be entered into a draw for a O’Neills voucher to the value of €5,000 per province.
We have reached a total of 8,068km as of Sunday evening 30th January and so have exceeded the 4,000km target.
However we would encourage everyone to keep up the exercise and try to get as high a score as possible.

Book the night in your diary, it is time for our  annual table quiz.
Our table quizzes are always a great night out, a chance to meet neighbours and others involved in our club as well as generating much needed funding for our Club.

Friday 11th February 9.30pm Yellowtown Pub.
Teams of 4 – €40
Raffle & finger food

Donations of Raffle prizes and finger food is very welcome.
