WALK/RUN CHALLENGE UPDATE
week two of Shamrock Gaels Healthy Club ‘Gals N Pals v Lads N Dads’ challenge continues to be a close battle, with a total of 6,512km covered by both teams in the last week, a 19 per cent increase on the previous week. The 104 Gals N Pals have an average of 41.17km, while the 61 Lads N Dads have an average of 39.45km. Well done to everyone involved. It has been a great effort and the Lads N Dads have it all to do if they want to claim bragging rights in the final week. The club is 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 at 087 6157455. 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% 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.
