Cloone GAA Club Notes 31/01/2018

Gerry McGovern elected Connacht GAA President – We hope we will be forgiven for bypassing him with this item but huge congrats to our club PRO Gerry McGovern on his election to Uachtaráin of Connacht GAA on Thursday night last in the Bush Hotel. In the presence of a huge number of Cloone supporters, Gerry was elected to the position following completion of his three-year term as vice president of Connacht Council.

Gerry has been a lifelong member of the Cloone club and has been one of our most dedicated servants. His many roles over the years with the club have included player, official, manager, selector, development supervisor, referee and supporter. Gerry first took over as secretary of the club in 1970 and it was fitting that the two club officers who were also elected that year, Kevin Foley and Michael Heslin were present again on Thursday last.

For the past five decades, Gerry has worked as both a player and official in the club and was one of the driving forces behind the development and official opening of our current club grounds in 1980. Later on, in that same year, Gerry gave a man of the match performance from his midfield berth in the Leitrim senior county final on the occasion of the last of our 11 senior championship successes.

Gerry was also a highly respected referee at national level and went on to hold numerous positions at Leitrim Co. Board including leas-runaí, Cathaoirleach, and Connacht Council delegate. Achievements such as the new stand in Pairc Sean, the commencement of the Center of Excellence and re-energising Connacht Scór are just some of the accolades Gerry can be proud of in recent years.

On this historic occasion for the Cloone club we look forward with great pride to one of our own holding this prestigious role. When Gerry takes his seat on Coiste Banistí in Croke Park it will be a far cry from the humble club beginnings of meetings held in a Morris Minor car but the one constant will be Gerry McGovern’s commitment to all that is good in the association. We extend the club’s congratulations to Gerry, Kathleen and the extended McGovern family and wish Gerry every success in his new role.

COMMUNICATIONS – Cloone GAA have recently set a What’s App group to keep members informed on all club activities. Anyone who wants to join and has not yet been added should text Liam Reynolds  0873273844 or Martin McCaffrey 086 0594310.

YEARLY LOTTO – It’s now time for the renewal of lotto yearly tickets and members of the club will be calling door to door in the next few days and weeks. These Lotto tickets are serious value for money. You have 26 draws for € 50, or three entries for the 26 draws for € 100. With the Lotto jackpot increasing every week this is a very attractive opportunity to be in all 26 draws. And it gets even better as there will be a draw for a very valuable prize at Easter for holders of Annual tickets.

MEMBERSHIP – Membership is now due and all supporters are asked to pay their membership immediately to Club Register Seamus Maguire. Membership is as follows, Players € 50, Family membership € 30, non Players and students € 20 Please pay your membership now.
