Message from our Chairman and Chairman of Coiste na nÓg

Dear Ballymac GAA Club Members, Family and Friends, We hope you and your loved ones are all staying safe and keeping well in these unpreceden­ted times.

This is a very strange time where our club has closed its gates due to the Covid19 pandemic, we would normally see games every evening at this present time.

We are and will do everything we can to keep our community safe and well, our volunteers are all over the community if anybody wants any help with anything at all, phone numbers can be found on our website and we have all the Community Informatio­n available on our web site and its up dated regularly.

We hope all our young and senior players are keeping themselves fit and practicing their skills at home during this down time and you will all come back far stronger and more skilful with all your practice. Finally we at Ballymac Gaa Club will do everything we can to keep all our members and visitors safe when the time comes to take to our playing fields again.

Yours in Football Mike Sweeney: Club Chairman Declan
