All players except those involved in the U-16 semi-final are asked to attend in Drumkeerin at 10.30am.

Child Welfare & Protection Courses
We have now completed the four regional child welfare & Protection courses and would like to thank and congratulate all those who took part. Club officers should ensure that all personnel, working in any capacity no matter how small, with underage teams complete this course. A maximum of 18 people per course means that most clubs should hold a course for themselves.
Please note the course taking place on this Thursday evening, November 4th in Drumreilly hall is fully booked. This course will commence at 7pm.
Coach Education

Our first award 1 course will take place in Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada over two weekends, Friday 12th & Saturday 13th and Friday 19th & Saturday 20th November.
