Club Notes Week Ending 22nd Sept. 2019

Juvenile Open Sports Day
The Club  hosted our Annual Juvenile Open Sports Day - Multi Events on Sunday 22nd September in the GAA Grounds Farranfore. The main purpose of this Multi Event Sports Day was encouraging children to experience the wide variety of events athletics has to offer. We were very pleased to see so many non athletic club members giving it a go. The feedback was very positive so we hope to make this an annual event for all to enjoy. A special thanks to Firies GAA for giving us the use of their field and most importantly to all our volunteers who without their help this day would not be possible. Overall winners and photos will be available on our website & facebook for you to enjoy.
