Glencar/Manorhamilton GAA Club Notes 26/06/2018
Feile – Our U14 boys and girls teams represent the club at the National Feile competition this weekend which is being hosted in Down/Louth/Meath. They have both prepared diligently over the last number of months and we do hope the competition goes well for them. They will make many more friends over the course of the weekend and that is hugely important too. We wish the teams and managements a very enjoyable and safe trip.
Sympathy – We were saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Kennedy, Mohill CLG and we express our heartfelt sympathy to her beloved family and club. Mary epitomised what volunteerism and support of your club is all about. She will be sadly missed. May She Rest In Peace.
