Making a Splash – A million thanks to all our brave clubmen who took to a freezing Glenade lake on Saturday and Glencar lake on Sunday for Adrian’s fundraiser. We cannot adequately express how grateful we are to the many people who have donated from near and far during the month of January in aid of our new pitch development. Special mention again goes to Adrian O’Flynn – we deeply appreciate your unbelievable effort and sacrifice for Glencar Manor.
Recipe for Success – Thank you to St. Clare’s Comprehensive School and in particular Ms. Conaty and Niall Brady from NB Nutrition and Exercise who facilitated our U’15 boys’ team on Friday evening for the “Recipe for Success” programme.
