Club Development — At the AGM Paudie Healy and Sean B Doherty outlined the clubs finances in relation to further developments and informed the meeting that the club is now in a position to install field lighting which will commence as soon as the weather permits access to the field.

Sympathy — The club wishes to offer its sincere sympathy to the family of Liam Fitzgerald who died recently. A gentleman and loyal supporter he played his football in the sixties with the club. May he rest in peace.

The County League in all divisions will have a different look this year with each division split into teams of six which means we will have only five Co League fixtures this year. The final details about relegation and promotion are to be finalised but it’s certain that teams will have to play without their county players. We will also have a team in Division 6 and they will also have five games.

Kerry Team

Congratulations to Paul O’Shea who made his debut for Kerry on Saturday and capped an impressive showing with a great point. Well done also to Brendan Kealy who was part of the panel for the day and selector James Foley. We wish them and their colleagues all the best for the year ahead.

We are happy to announce the return of the ‘50/50’ draw from early last summer over the coming weeks as we near a return to club activity.

Each week’s draw will see the overall amount collected for that draw halved between the winner and the club.

Each draw will take place live on Facebook.

There will be a total of four draws for a fee of €10 in total.

You can enter either from the following link below, Kilcummin Post Office or Paddy O’Keeffe’s Supermarket Gattabawn.

FIRST DRAW: SUNDAY APRIL 18^TH   

Every second Sunday thereafter for the foreseeable future. 

As the Gym and dressing rooms facility development nears completion with the Gym being fitted out and the last touches being put to the other facilities, the development committee would like to thank all those who made this dream a reality. The committee are putting in the order next week for the “Wall of Champions” bricks and the business packages signs will be located on the road side as you enter the club.

If you purchased a brick or a sign, make sure you have given your details. The default inscription will be the family name and townland address. This is the final opportunity if you wish to purchase a package or brick so if you need either contact 087 7614850. The contribution of the volunteers to the completion of this project has been immense and leaves us in awe and appreciative of the great community spirit of our parish.

Lotto

The Lotto jackpot is now at €4000 with ticket available in the usual places and from usual sellers. Please consider a Yearly Lotto ticket as a Christmas present. It provides the receiver an opportunity to win a sizeable sum of money but also you are making an investment in the sporting future of our young people.

Every euro goes to the upkeep of our facilities and provision of training equipment. A yearly ticket of €50 gives a person a ticket in every draw for 26 draws while a €120 ticket gives a person three tickets in each draw. Tickets can be bought online or by contacting Elaine at 087 4094293
