CLUB DEVELOPMENT
As the season draws to a close for a few months plans are already under way for further development works. A full lighting system will be installed around the walking track which will see completion of the final stage of the track development. The Astro facility will be refilled and brushed and building works on the clubhouse redevelopment will also begin over the coming weeks. All these works are only possible with the ongoing support of all our members and supporters and the club takes this opportunity to thank everyone for their ongoing support of all club activities and fundraisers.
STRICTLY CLUB DANCING
The big night is getting closer now with our dancing couples putting the finer details to their routines.

Tickets will be limited so be sure not to miss out and get yours early. Tickets available from dancers and club secretary Sharon Pettit.
As the dancing couples count down the weeks rumour has it dance instructor Charlene is pulling her hair out. The dancing ladies too we hear are finding it hard to manage some of the divas up in the hall with Cork blow in Robbie strutting his stuff, Blondie making up his own steps as he goes along, Huggies declaring ownership of the crown already and mouse river dancing at every opportunity.

UNDER 12 GIRLS PREMIER – Ross Celtic one All Blacks three. The girls travelled to New Ross Celtic on Saturday to take on unbeaten Celtic without our Captain Sophie Wallace, who was unavailable through sickness. We started really well and created many good chances with Aisling Roche behind most. But we just couldn’t find a way through then we lost our star midfielder Sinéad Cullen to a heavy knock with minutes remaining in the first half we conseeded to a fantastic individual goal.
The second half was a different story as our girl’s were excellent throughout with Ciara Murphy finding our equaliser with a thumping right foot shot. We pressed again and the outstanding Roche delivered a fabouls cross field ball to Tara Cullen, who let fly from outside the box and gave the keeper no chance great team goal. Our third was every bit as good as the simply outstanding Ava Wallace delivered a fantastic ball out wide to Roche, who finish with a thumping drive.
All the girls played a massive part in this excellent win Meave Kenny in goal was excellent throughout Ciara Kelly, Eve Rowe, Tara Cullen and Ava Wallace in defence were really soild. In midfield Kayleigh Nacey, Aisling Roche, Sinéad Cullen and Aoibheann Rankin domanited while Ciara Murphy and Rachel Nacey were excellent up front. Well done girls and we wish Sinéad a speedy recovery.
The under-12 Div2B schoolgirls travelled to Cushinstown this morning for their third game of the season. They were slow to find their feet but near the end of the first half they started to gel as a team and with a run from deep in our half saw Saoirse Crosbie carry the ball up along the line and with a fine strike she found the back of the net. This seen the girls 1-0 at halftime. Second half started strong and the girls mounted on the pressure and continued to battle hard. Cushinstown kept fighting and the girls done a great job in defense in holding them out. The last 10 minutes of the game saw a great defensive display from the girls and the game finished 1-0. Thanks for the support on the sideline today. Keep up the good work girls and see ye all in training on Monday night.
The under-nine girls had another great match daywhere 12 of our girls travelled to St Leonards. They all arrived with happy faces ready to get stuck in and have another great game of soccer. They are really enjoying these match days out and all their hard work and great determination in them is paying off. They are a great bunch of girls and are really starting to gel together as a lovely little team. Hope they all enjoyed their match today.
Hard luck to our U – 16 girls going down 4-1 to local neighbours Forth Celtic. Well done to all 16 players. Wishing Ali Mulligan a speedy recovery.
