Cloone GAA Club Notes 06/02/2018

The new officers of the club have hit the ground running with a host of fundraising events planned for the coming weeks. At a recent meeting, the following plans were announced:

YEARLY LOTTO –  Members of the club will be calling door to door to collect yearly Lotto contributions in the next few weeks. By being a yearly member you are guaranteed to be in all draws, and now all yearly lotto ticket holders will be entered in a draw for a prize of € 300 to be held on March 31st. The club looks forward to your continued support and hopefully as many supporters will join the yearly draw scheme.

BATTLE OF THE PARISH QUIZ – The club is planning a new and novel quiz featuring the townlands of the parish. Since this event has been announced there has been an outburst of enthusiasm and training has already started in earnest. The treasurer of the Annaughmacooleen Gaels club was spotted in Mullan on Sunday morning last pricing encyclopedias and it is reported that training is going well in that townland. The quiz is planned for Saturday, March 3rd and no doubt every townland will be doing their best to win the overall prize. This is something to really look forward to.

GOLF CLASSIC – The club is also planning a golf classic for June. The classic will be held at the Ballinamore golf club and further details will be released in due course.

SOCIAL NIGHT – Plans are also being made for a social night for all Club members and supporters to be held in McKeon’s Bar and lounge on Saturday Night February 17th.

LOTTO – There was no winner of the Lotto Jackpot at the weekend. The Following numbers were called 9, 27, 25, and 18. The following were winners in the draw, € 50 Nuala o Reilly c/o Alex Jones, Ticket seller supreme, € 30 Sean Monaghan Cloone, € 30 Fr Peter Tiernan, yearly ticket. Next lotto draw will be held on Saturday night February 17th, In conjunction with the social night in Mckeon’s Bar.

SYMPATHY –  Cloone GAA would like to express its sincere sympathy to John Moran and family, and the Leogue family, formerly Mohill, on the death of Teresa Moran whose funeral took place on Monday last. Teresa taught in Fatima School, Cloone, since the mid to late nineteen eighties and has been principal for the last number of years. Teresa has been responsible for everything that has been good about Fatima school during her years teaching there, and on many occasions when her pupils were representing the School in GAA competitions Teresa was their motivator and cheerleader. We extend our sincere sympathy to her family and friends.

SYMPATHY –  The club would like to extend its sympathy to James Shanley Ballykiltyfea, Cloone on the death of his Mother, whose death took place recently. James ‘s son Ryan is one of our most Promising players who has had great success with various underage teams of late,

ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE – On Sunday last Leitrim put a creditable performance against a fancied Laois Side, and with a scoreline of 3 10, you would expect to win most games. Next up in the Allianz National is Carlow in Netwatch Cullen Park. Not an easy assignment but if we could extend our 7-minute scoring spree from last Sunday and entice the Carlow goalkeeper to follow the antics of the Laois goalkeeper,  with his forays upfield, you just never know. Best of luck to team and management.

Mohill GAA Club Notes 06/02/2018

Maura Foy RIP – We extend deepest sympathy to the Foy family on the death of their mother Maura who died on Sunday last. The Foy family have been involved in the club over the years as players, officers and supporters. Maura’s brother John Mulligan Lahenamon died only two weeks ago. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Thank You – Ronan Kennedy wants to offer sincere thank you to everyone who donated to his Zambia fundraising project on the night of the Dinner Dance and also everyone who has been n contact since with well wishes and donations. Ronan is going to Zambia in April to work with disabled children and is seeking to raise 10K this year. Any help or donations are much appreciated.

Cash for Clobber – The ladies in our club are collecting Clothes, bags, belts etc, etc and people are asked to deposit their goods in the clubrooms on Saturday morning from 10 to 12.

County Award – Well done to Caillin Canning who collected his Club Player of the Year award on Saturday  last at the County Board Awards night. He also collected his Junior Connacht medal as did Alan Armstrong. Congrats to all those young men

County Team – The County boys waited for the last 10 minutes to give the large crowd something to cheer about and in those final moments they scored 3-4 to give Laois a slight fright. The last few minutes of the game should give the players a bit of confidence for the next game and let them throw caution to the wind.

National GAA Draw – The tickets from Croke Park only arrived this week so it will be this week before our volunteers will get selling.  There are some great prizes all donated by GAA Headquarters which include a car, All Ireland Hurling and football packages, Great shopping vouchers. The Club is hoping to make big improvements in the Park this year which will be to the benefit to all the community.

Teresa Moran RIP – The club commiserates with the family of Teresa Moran (nee Leogue) whose untimely death occurred last week. Teresa who was in the prime of her life and Principal of Cloone NS, was a Mohill native and her husband John was a popular teacher in Marian College. To her husband John, sons, sister, brothers and her large extended family, we extend deepest sympathy. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sí
