All club players must pay their membership before the last day of February in order to train and play with the club.
Club Academy – Santa made his annual visit to our club academy last Friday night in the Gym at St Clare’s Comprehensive School. It was a great occasion for all the children and their families with excitement levels at fever-pitch. As a small token of recognition for all their hard work all season each child received a small gift from Santa. We take this opportunity to again thank the children for their dedication and exemplary behaviour all season and all our volunteer coaches for giving freely of their time week in week out to nurture our underage talent.
Match for Mark – The annual Match for Mark game between St Mary’s of Sligo and Glencar/Manorhamilton took place for the 3rd successive year on St Stephen’s Day in Kent Park, Sligo. Our U10 teams and ladies and mens adult teams all took part with all proceeds going to North West Hospice. It was a great family occasion as two great clubs came together to raise much needed funds for charity by remembering a great friend and teammate.
Old Club Jerseys – We are looking for people to search out their wardrobes, garages and attics in search of old club jerseys which were used by our adult and juvenile football and hurling teams in the club (male and female) in the following decades – the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s. They are needed for our 50th club celebrations. Please contact Collette Fox asap on 0866020192 if you can assist.
Heinz Beans Tokens – We are asking our club members and all underage parents to collect Heinz Beans tokens. If we have enough tokens our underage boys and girls teams could benefit with sports kits. The closing date is the 15th February, 2019.
Ladies Club History – In preparation for our club’s 50th anniversary in 2019, the ladies club are looking to dig out all old photos, match programmes, newspaper clippings or any other club memorabilia to help prepare a detailed history of the history of the ladies club. We are also trying to compile the names of all club officers/managers/club award winners since the club was formed – so if you were an officer/manager/award winner – please forward any information you can. Please email any correspondence you have to glencarmanorladies@gmail.com.
