Facilities
Due to recent storm damage both sets of goals in Clonmult Memorial Park will have to be replaced. The existing goals are not safe so use of these goal areas is not permitted until the goals are replaced. We are awaiting confirmation of the lead time for the new goals but it will be a few weeks at least. The ball stopping nets at the SV end will also be replaced in the coming weeks. Please pass this message on to all members in your groups.
Camogie and Ladies Football Juvenile Social and Awards evening
Last Saturday evening the Camogie and Ladies Football Clubs came together for a wonderful evening to celebrate another successful year for both Clubs. Cork Camogie Manager Ger Manley and player Meave Cahalane both gave great advice to all players. Awards for Player of the year and Most Improved Player were given out on the night. Many Thanks to our Dual Club Intermediate Players Molly Beausang and Meghan Wallace for presenting these. All photos from the night are available to view on the following link:
Monday Club
Our Monday Club met last Monday 27th January for our first "cuppa & chat" of 2025. Even though it was an awful morning our numbers were very big and we welcomed some new faces! It was great to see everyone looking so well and as usual we had plenty of chats, laughs and of course the cuppa!
Next month we will have a display of photographs taken by Ger O'Brien of wildlife from South and West Africa. So save the date Monday 24th February 10.30am to 11.30am Midleton GAA Club. All welcome!
