In his address, Andy discussed the good work done off the playing field in the past year including the clubs successful application for a Sports Capital Grant. He went on to announce that he would be stepping down as Chairperson and thanked his felllow committee members for their hard work during his tenure as Chairperson. Our Secretary, Marie Clarke then gave us her report for 2017 including detailled accounts for each team for the year gone bu from the Junior team right down to our U-6's. The highlight of her report included the U-16's reaching the Div 3 Championship final where they were narrowly beaten by a single point and the U-14's winning the Div 2 Shield back in October last. Marie then called out some other highlights throughout the year including our 8 week football & hurling training we ran in the local school in conjunction with Brownstown Hurling club, our highly sucessful Easter & Summer camps, our trip to Croke Park and our many fundraising events through out the year.
