Test your Premiership smarts   

With the Premiership up and running now, there's a fair bit of form to go on now. So, no better time to sign up for a Premiership Snowball fund-raiser being run by senior and reserve footballers. Cards can be obtained from any player, from Lisa McTernan or on the Aodh Ruadh CLG Facebook page. It's €10 to enter - payments can also be made through our page on www.klubfunder.com in the general payments section, with the teams being texted to Lisa on 086-2338636. The rules are simple. You pick one team per week, and you can't pick the same team twice. We are grateful for €500 sponsorship generously donated by Colin at MR OIL MAN! All monies raised will go straight back into the club.

Juvenile Hurling AGM

Last Thursday saw the Juvenile Hurling AGM take place remotely. Secretary Orla Bannon's report reflected on two big highlights of the year, capturing the under 14 county title, and the successful Billy Finn, John Larkin fund-raising event. Chairman John Rooney reiterated those sentiments and thanked all those who had worked to develop underage hurling in the club over the past year. The respective manager's reports followed. All managers paid tribute to the time and commitment of their players and passed on their thanks to the committee and all the parents for their support. After 30 years of involvement and 10 years as Chairman of the juvenile hurling committee, John Rooney said he would not be seeking re-election. With no one present willing to take on the position, it was decided to hold over the election of officers and appointment of team managers to the first meeting of 2021. On behalf of Aodh Ruadh, club Chairman William Doogan thanked John for his many years of hard work and for all his time and efforts over the years for hurling in the club.
