Membership is now well over due. It is vital that all adult and juveniles pay their membership or they are not covered if injured. If no effort is made to pay then they will be unable to train or play. Contact the team coaches for membership details.

 

The 2019 Kellogg's cul camp dates have been released. Rathnew will be hosting it the week starting the 12th of August. It's always a brilliant week for the kids so book early on kelloggsculcamps.gaa.ie or follow the link on our Facebook page.

A massive thanks to Gaelic Plant Hire for once again coming on board as the main sponsor of the juvenile section of the club. Thanks to Keith, Noel and team for their continued support.

 

We have got our new fence finished on the clubhouse side of the pitch. We'd like to thank every member, supporter, lotto ticket sellers, lotto ticket buyer and anyone who has supported the club in anyway because without your help none of this would be possible.

 

With the championship season started the county board are offering a season ticket for €100 or €75 for oap which will give you access to all championship matches in both football and hurling including county finals. So with the 3 of our teams hopefully all having a good run in the championship it might be worth a look at. Contact the county board office in Ballinakill for details. 

 

On Wednesday the intermediate team gets their championship campaign started playing Dunlavin in Aughrim at 7.30. The under 11 reds are away to Blessington at 7 while the greens are home to Eire Og also at 7. The under 15s are away to St Nickolas at 7.15. On Thursday the junior B team will look to win the league with a victory against Ashford at home 8pm start. The minors are home to St Nickolas on Monday at 7.30 while the under 13s are away to Kilcoole at 7.30 also on Monday. 

 

Well done to Jess Quinn, Millie Armstrong, Sarah Kelly, Clara Earls, Hollie Doyle, Ella Doyle and Aisling Eager who all played for the county under 12 team over the weekend. 

 

Condolences to the family and friends of Billy Doyle (old village) who passed away last week. The Village also lost another great character last week in Peter "The Bruiser" Byrne. Peter held many positions in the club and always loved the celebration of a championship win. Condolences to all his family and friends. May they both rest in peace.
