RIVERSTOWN
SHAMROCK GAELS
The club is currently upgrading our website and it will be offline for a while. Well done to all who are participating in the Healthy Club committee’s walk/run challenge for the month of February. There are 156 people participating and after week one the Gals and Pals are marginally ahead. The Club are currently putting together the management teams for underage football for the coming season for both girls and boys. Shamrock Gaels are particularly interested in getting new people involved and full training will be given through online coaching courses coming up over the next few weeks. Anyone interested in getting involved should contact Michelle McMorrow on 087 615 7455. Tickets for the National Club Draw are now in circulation and with fundraising activities severely curtailed in 2020, this draw is critically important to finance the year ahead. Tickets cost €10 each and 100 per cent of all tickets sold go to the club with the GAA financing all of the prizes including a first prize of a Renault Clio. Tickets will be circulating to all members, players and parents in the coming days and any support for this important fundraiser would be greatly appreciated.
