Cloone GAA Club Notes 06/02/2018
The new officers of the club have hit the ground running with a host of fundraising events planned for the coming weeks. At a recent meeting, the following plans were announced:
YEARLY LOTTO – Members of the club will be calling door to door to collect yearly Lotto contributions in the next few weeks. By being a yearly member you are guaranteed to be in all draws, and now all yearly lotto ticket holders will be entered in a draw for a prize of € 300 to be held on March 31st. The club looks forward to your continued support and hopefully as many supporters will join the yearly draw scheme.
BATTLE OF THE PARISH QUIZ – The club is planning a new and novel quiz featuring the townlands of the parish. Since this event has been announced there has been an outburst of enthusiasm and training has already started in earnest. The treasurer of the Annaughmacooleen Gaels club was spotted in Mullan on Sunday morning last pricing encyclopedias and it is reported that training is going well in that townland. The quiz is planned for Saturday, March 3rd and no doubt every townland will be doing their best to win the overall prize. This is something to really look forward to.
GOLF CLASSIC – The club is also planning a golf classic for June. The classic will be held at the Ballinamore golf club and further details will be released in due course.
SOCIAL NIGHT – Plans are also being made for a social night for all Club members and supporters to be held in McKeon’s Bar and lounge on Saturday Night February 17th.

Next lotto draw will be held on Saturday night February 17th, In conjunction with the social night in Mckeon’s Bar.
SYMPATHY – Cloone GAA would like to express its sincere sympathy to John Moran and family, and the Leogue family, formerly Mohill, on the death of Teresa Moran whose funeral took place on Monday last. Teresa taught in Fatima School, Cloone, since the mid to late nineteen eighties and has been principal for the last number of years. Teresa has been responsible for everything that has been good about Fatima school during her years teaching there, and on many occasions when her pupils were representing the School in GAA competitions Teresa was their motivator and cheerleader. We extend our sincere sympathy to her family and friends.
SYMPATHY – The club would like to extend its sympathy to James Shanley Ballykiltyfea, Cloone on the death of his Mother, whose death took place recently. James ‘s son Ryan is one of our most Promising players who has had great success with various underage teams of late,
ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE – On Sunday last Leitrim put a creditable performance against a fancied Laois Side, and with a scoreline of 3 10, you would expect to win most games. Next up in the Allianz National is Carlow in Netwatch Cullen Park. Not an easy assignment but if we could extend our 7-minute scoring spree from last Sunday and entice the Carlow goalkeeper to follow the antics of the Laois goalkeeper, with his forays upfield, you just never know. Best of luck to team and management.
