MILLTOWN MILLTOWN CASTLEMAINE GAA

It was wonderful to see our senior player Thady O’Sullivan pay a visit to his own Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Grounds on Thursday afternoon last. Thady will soon travel to Dublin to continue his fight against illness but he didn’t want to do so without calling to make a check on the progress of the Field Development Project. And he made sure he was wearing his club colours too! We know that every single member of our club will wish him the very best as he continues his brave fight. Your courage, bravery and grace is an inspiration to all of us young or old. Best wishes Thady from everyone at your Milltown/Castlemaine GAA Club.

Under 6 Academy: The was much excitement on Thursday evening last when all the children from the underage academy descended on our GAA Grounds for their first fun football session since the Covid restrictions had been relaxed. All the children, their mentors and Covid supervisors availed of the beautiful sunshine to actively participate in some great games and learn some new skills.

We would appeal to parents and guardians to please cooperate and support Susan and her team of coaches by following all the guidelines as outlined in all correspondence. This will hopefully ensure that everybody will remain safe in these Covid times. Huge praise must go to Susan for all her work. Iarracht den chéad scoth Susan. Maith thú agus míle buíochas.

While we didn’t have the usual 20 plus performers because of number restrictions, two of our underage girls played a blinder with Sarah on concertina and Eimear on vocals. Well done girls-multi talented ye are.
