Kilbeggan Shamrocks GAA Notes

January 25, 2026

Last Man Standing

Our annual GAA National League Last Man Standing competition returned last weekend and saw 87 out of 172 entrants make it through to Week 2.

Most of the early casualties were caused by the failure of the Tyrone, Fermanagh, Laois and Tipperary footballers to win. And only for late winners for Kerry and Westmeath against Roscommon and Sligo respectively, the competition would be nearly over!

Fixtures for Week 2 will be sent to all participants in the coming days.

New mentors wanted

Our mentors’ start-of-year meeting will be held this Tuesday, January 27 in SWEETS at 7.30pm.

We’d love to have all grades represented from our current Mentors. This is also a great opportunity for anyone interested in becoming a mentor to come along and join our team. Everyone is welcome.

Looking forward to another exciting and successful season together!

Jersey Night

We are holding a Jersey Night in Paddy Ryan’s, Horseleap this Saturday, January 31 at 8.30pm.

Everyone and anyone can wear whatever jersey they want and pay €10. This is a great way for our adult teams, mentors, friends and family to come together and kickstart the year. Music will be provided by ‘Top Heavy’.

All support would be greatly appreciated.

Couch to 5K

Our Couch to 5K initiative led by club members Anna Wrafter and James Fox continues every Wednesday at 7pm in MJS Builds St James’ Park until February 11.

As part of this programme, we’re incorporating the Irish Life Steps Challenge, so every walk or run you do helps build our club total. Download the Irish Life app, log your walks or runs, and help us hit 4,000km steps collectively — once we do, we’re entered into a draw to win a share of €30,000 in club funding.

Numbers are growing every week so why not join in?

Lotto

Last week’s lucky numbers were 1, 15, 18 and 26. There was no jackpot winner. The Match 3 winner was Roderick Wilson.

The jackpot has been capped at €15,000 until it is won again. Make sure to buy your tickets online or at Centra, Mee's Costcutter and Whelan’s. Thank you for your continued support.
