Celebration Party:
Last year was a very positive year in the Club in many ways. We ran a very successful Gaelic 4 Girls programme which introduced over 100 girls from all the local Primary Schools on the basics of Ladies Football, while having exercise and great fun. Our Under 10s and Under 14s were very successful in their Leagues and our under 12 girls and our Minor ladies were crowned Mid Cork Champions. With all this in mind, we are looking forward to our Celebration Party, which will be held in the GAA Club on Friday, 3rd March from 7pm – 11pm. It is a night to put away the shorts and tracksuits and glam-up for a great night with your friends, family and Team-mates. Mid Cork Medals will be presented to both Under 12 and Minor Teams on the night, followed by a DJ. More Information to follow, so be sure and put the 3rd of March in your Diary!!
