Test your Premiership smarts    

Not long left now to sign up for the Premiership Snowball fund-raiser being run by senior and reserve footballers, with the first round of games in the competition taking place this weekend. 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 085-1061456. 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

Aodh Ruadh are seeking a new person to take on the role of Juvenile Hurling Chairperson. John Rooney has left big boots to fill in this section of the club, but it is essential we have a new chair in post as soon as possible to continue to steer the great work being done in underage hurling in Ballyshannon. Those interested in taking up the position are asked to text club secretary Lisa McTernan on 085-1061456 by Monday, 30th November.

 

Supporting mental health    

We invite members to support a fund-raiser organised by our senior player, David McGurrin on behalf of Connect Mental Health. He is running the distance from where he currently lives in Dooradoyle, Limerick back home to Ballyshannon, a distance of approximately 270km. This will be completed within a 5 km radius over the duration of the Level 5 Restrictions ending on December 1st. David will be posting updates online on his progress.
