Clothes Collection – Dunlavin GAA is collecting good quality second hand clothing for re-use. Please put items in black bin bags and you can drop them into the club house on Mondays between 8pm and 9pm. The collection raises funds for the club so we would greatly appreciate your support.

Juvenile training has come to a close for 2016. A fun day will take place on Sunday, October 9, at 11am. There will be fun and games for the kids and a medal presentati­on afterwards along with some refreshmen­ts.

Now that the underage season has ended we must thank all our juvenile coaches. To Joe, Catherine, Mark, Dale, Stephen, Denise, Gary, Brendan, Scott and Dean, we thank you all for their commitment and dedication during the year.

The kids have come a long way and the future looks bright.

We are always looking for new helpers so please get in touch if interested. A special thanks goes to all the parents and those grandparen­ts who drove to games and who supported their kids week in week out. Also thanks to everyone for supporting our fundraiser­s throughout the year. We look forward to seeing you all back in the field in 2017.

Well done to Emily Rouse who won the All-Ireland ticket draw. Thanks to everyone who supported the draw.

A special thanks goes to Margaret Healy who took on enforcing the reverse parking policy this year. It’s so important to ensure safety for everyone visiting our Clubhouse and Margaret did a super job.
