Glasdrumman GAC Notes fro 19 March 2017

The Eire Og U-12’s had their first league game of the season away to Drumgath. Despite an excellent first half performance from Eire Og’s team it was the home side that were victorious at the end of the game! The Eire Ogs can take heart though from some very good displays of football in horrible conditions. Well done boys and girls!

Training continues on a Thursday evening at the Quarter Road pitch from 6.30-7.30pm. Their first home game will be against Glenn on Sunday. Players to be at the Quarter Road pitch at 10.30am.

Remember folks to contact any committee member before 8 April to buy into our clubs ‘Last Man Standing‘ competition.
