Castlewellan GAC Notes For 12 January 2014

* There was sad news this week at the passing of Sadie Poland, who was pre-deceased by her husband Pat. She was mother of member Aine Connolly mother-in-law of executive committee member Paul and grandmother to our playing members Gavin, Stephen and Aislinn Connolly. We wish to extend our sympathy to Poland & Connolly families and the wide family circle on their sad loss. Mary Queen of the Gael pray for them. Ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis.

* Anyone interested in coaching juveniles (4 – 18 year olds) in boy’s football, girl’s football, hurling or camogie please contact John O’Neill on 07711737610. We are preparing for the new season and need as much help as possible.dn_screen

* There will be a specific meeting of all those interested in coaching girls juvenile football on Friday 17 Jan at 8pm in the Social Club. The meeting will be very short and will primarily focus on the number of people (coaches and parents) we have interested in helping with girls football and at what levels we will compete. We appeal for as many people as possible (male or female) including parents of current players, members of the Ladies senior football panel to attend this meeting and to offer their services for the year ahead.
