Bluebell Planting:
Planting will continue on Sunday 11th October from 3 to 5pm (weather permitting) and will continue at this time on Sunday afternoons until all the bulbs are planted. It is envisaged that this will be a community project, involving as many people as possible and highlighting something practical we can do to protect wildlife and the natural environment. So do come along for a few minutes on one of the coming Sunday afternoons to plant a few bulbs. Bring the children, be part of the team, make a difference.

Camogie Update:
Commiserations to our Junior Ladies and Management that lost out to Templemore by 2 points in our camogie county final last Saturday. A huge amount of work went into this campaign and a special word of thanks to Ken Hogan and Aiden McIntyre for their commitment. The work rate of the girls was second to none for the past few months and in each match they provided great entertainment with excellent scores, frees, saves and defensive play. We wish Clodagh McIntyre the best of luck with the Tipperary team in the championship.
U14
Our U14s have 3 more games in their league and continue to hurl with great pride and work rate against teams that are older them, great prospects for next year!
U12
Well done to our U12s who recently beat Clonoulty in their county shield final in Ballycahill. An impressive performance from all the girls.
