Glencar/Manorhamilton GAA Club Notes 13/02/2019
Club Awards Night – Our annual club awards night takes place this Saturday 16th February at 8pm in the Bee Park Community Centre. Our Feile boys team, our U16 championship-winning girls team and our senior men and ladies league winning teams will receive their medals on the night and we will also announce our players of the year and club person of the year. Everyone is welcome to join in our night of celebration.
Leitrim – A great weekend for Leitrim football with our senior men and women both winning at home. It was great to see such good support for the two teams but such a pity the games clashed as we all need to row in behind both teams.
Registration Night – Thank you to everyone for registering to become a fully paid up member of our club last Friday night. We will be holding our last Registration Night for all players and supporters to pay their membership this Friday the 15th from 6.30 to 8pm upstairs in the Gym at St Clare’s Comprehensive School. All club players must pay their membership before the last day of February in order to train and play with the club.

Connacht Champions – Huge congrats to St Clare’s Comprehensive School girls football team who were crowned Connacht Junior B champions on Saturday last in Swinford defeating a highly rated Glenamaddy Community School in an epic encounter. A fantastic achievement for the Leitrim school with the team made up of players from counties Leitrim and Cavan. They have now won consecutive D, C and B Connacht titles and will play the Leinster champions in the All Ireland semi-final in March.
Gaelic4Girls – Glencar Manorhamilton Ladies Club is delighted to announce details of an exciting new programme for our club called Gaelic4Girls. The aim of this programme is to allow girls aged between 8 to 12 years old, who are not currently registered with a Club, to get an introduction to Ladies Gaelic Football in a fun non-competitive environment. The programme will start on Monday 4th of March; 7pm to 8pm at St Clare’s Primary School Astro Pitch. The cost of the programme is €10, and all of the girls will be presented with a jersey and a certificate for their participation. Parents/Guardians are welcome to stay and watch the training sessions. For more information please contact Bernie McMorrow on 086 1234634 or email glencarmanorladies@gmail.com. Registration forms will be available in the local schools from this week.
