GAA FEILE PEILE.
Dreadnots GAA would like to thank all involved in making the Feile Peile last weekend such a special one for all involved. It all ran so smoothly in such wonderful weather, that it will never be forgotten, not only for our U-14 boys and girls but for their proud parents, family, friends, the club and the whole community. Thanks to all the people who gave their time over the weekend, thanks to all who helped raise money to fund the event, to all the sponsors and thanks to Celtic Adventures for looking after our two teams and our visitors St Gabriel’s of Galway and Gloucestershire GAA on Saturday evening when our exploits in the competition were over. Thanks especially to our U-14 boys and girls who done us proud.

PARTY
The latest craze at the All Weather Pitch in Clogherhead is to hire it out by the hour for your child and their friends to play football. It costs only €20 for 1 hour and after the hour you can continue the party there on the pitch or go to the Community Hall where they can run around having great fun in secure, friendly and safe surroundings for only €30 per hour. And then they just flake out with tiredness, happy but tired.

FEILE 2018.
What a weekend. A great time was had by all at Feile Peile 2018 in Monasterboice, on the weekend before last. Thanks to the Volunteer Club members, u14 Naomh Mairtin squads, parents, host families, the Monasterboice Inn, the teams the Martins hosted (St.Manchans Ladies and Coralstown Kinnegad Boys) and all visiting teams who played on the grounds. It was a weekend not to be forgotten.
All the division 3 Shield and Cup Semi-Finals and Finals took place in Monasterboice on the Sunday. It was a hive of activity from early in the morning til late in the evening and all in the beautiful sunshine.
Unfortunately our own teams didn’t make it to this stage as they got knocked out in the quarter final stages but the club had plenty of local support and assistance for all teams who played on the facilities to make sure all ran smoothly. The winning teams in Monasterboice were Killeavey Boys and Trim Girls in the Shield and Moneyglass Girls and Durlas Og Boys in the Cup.
A huge congrats to all who helped and none more than the main sponsor Monasterboice Inn who helped make this weekend such a memorable one.
