The senior footballers resume their league campaign with a home fixture on Friday 29^th July against Ballymartin. Please come along and lend your support, and hopefully the lads will continue with the good string of results that they put together before the holiday break. The U-12’s will welcome their visitors from Kilshannig, Co Cork,  this weekend. The visitors will arrive on Friday afternoon and the club has arranged a welcome barbeque on Friday evening. We would like to extend an invitation to all members to come down and meet our visitors and make them feel welcome. They have promised not to mention last Saturday in Croke Park! There will be an invitational U-12 blitz on Saturday and the weekend will be crowned off by the staging of the inaugural Tomas Russell cup match between the RGU and Kilshannig on Sunday. Could all the Under-14 boys who have draw tickets for the Cork visit please return them by this Thursday 28th July. The Cul Camp this summer at the RGU will run from 15th to 19th August.
