Hearty congratulations to Manorhamilton Area Girls Under 12 Gaelic Football Team and their management who won Bronze at the National Community Games Finals in Abbotstown on Sunday bringing national honours to their area, county and province. The panel which is made up of players from Glencar Manorhamilton and St Patrick’s Dromahair GAA Clubs overcame the disappointment of losing their semi-final to the Westmeath champions – Coralstown, Kinnegad to go on to defeat the Ulster champions St Patricks of Cavan by 2 points to capture bronze in the 3rd/4th place playoffs. Final Score 7-01 to 5-5 with goals from Amelie McGrath, Megan Rooney and Aine McLaughlin and a point from Anna Devaney. Special thanks to Brendan McLaughlin, Gail Cummins, Sean McPartlin and Vincent McMorrow for preparing and coaching this great team to achieve the National medals they were awarded. We extend congratulations to all the Leitrim competitors and teams who excelled over the weekend.

Bredins
After thirteen years in business, last Saturday marked the closure of Bredins Giftware Shop on Main Street. It was always a pleasure to drop in to Bredins where a friendly word and welcoming smile from Eileen, Kitty or Carmel greeted one and all. The club would also like to record and acknowledge the generous support Eileen and Arthur always gave to the club down through the years. For instance, a number of years ago Arthur and Eileen along with the Market Bar co-sponsored our annual Golf Classic to the tune of €1,500 and Bredins was an outlet for club merchandise and tickets for club events and a supplier of club trophies and medals . We wish them the very best for the future and sincerely thank Eileen and Arthur not alone for the support they gave our club but for the wider contribution they made to the life of our community. Go raibh maith agaibh.
