CLUB MASS

The annual mass to remember our deceased members took place in the club rooms on Saturday evening last. The club would like to extend their thanks to Fr. Kevin Fay who said a lovely mass on the night, as always with great humility, humour and footballing memories. Thanks to everyone who attended the mass and came to the Orchard afterwards, it was a good chance to meet fellow club members, friends and neighbours.

U17 LEAGUE 2019

Our Drumalee/Redhills amalgamation Naomh Brid played away to Ballinagh in the third round of the league on Saturday afternoon. Naomh Brid started off well going into an early lead but Ballinagh responded with two quick goals. Then with Ballinagh on the attack, Naomh Brid’s goal keeper Sean O’Reilly suffered a serious hand injury and play was stopped while he received treatment. We all wish Sean a speedy recovery. Naomh Brid got themselves back into the game in the second half and could have got something from the game but Ballinagh went on to win well.

Naomh Brid play Crosserlough in the next round of the league on Monday 18th March, 12.30pm, St Feilim’s Park, Drumalee. Please come along and show your support for the players and management.
