Castlewellan GAC Notes

Division 2 Senior League Final on Sunday past. But due to the inclement weather and poor underfoot conditions the match was postponed. The rescheduled Final is due to be played this Friday Night in Newcastle under flood lights with a 7.30pm throw-in writes Michael McClean. It did not stop the talented band of club Master Chefs serving up a treat for the players and management. Head Chef “Barney “Ramsey” Cunningham ably assisted by Kevin “Oliver” Sweeney and Miceal “Worral-Thompson” Crilly are to be credited for their cooking skills. Thank you to all those committee members and club members who assisted through Saturday Night and Sunday afternoon. Again good luck to all the boys who deserve a big support this Friday Night to cheer them on.

On their 5th channel was Jaws 2-The Revenge. If you ever saw John Kelly running they say he moves like a great white shark, clinically chewing up the ground of his fellow competitors. On Saturday at the Gr8t Dundrum Run he competed alongside our other club runners in a 650 strong field. John our first runner home came in at 19^th place in what was a fantastic performance. All our runners performed with great credit and we congratulate them all in their efforts.
