CLOYNE GAA NOTES

Main Sponsor: Burke Wall and Associates

CLUB WEBSITE

The club website at www.cloynegaa.com is back up and running, following help from David Ring with the technical aspects. The forthcoming fixtures, club news and various other pages and links will come on stream over the coming weeks. Anybody interested in contributing to the website should contact Eoin O’Sullivan.  In the meantime, we would ask you to be patient while we get the website up to the level we’d like.

CLUB IMPROVEMENTS

After a recent review of club facilities, repairs have commenced on the dressing rooms, committee room, referees room and the car part atChristy Ring Memorial Park.

The works subcommittee, with the aid of club volunteers were to be found hard at work on Saturday.  Musical encouragement was provided with Paddy Geoghegan’s ‘Rory Gallagher Collection’ and work is to continue over the next few weeks, with other musical choices also to be considered!   Anyone interested in helping should contact James Nyhan, Killian Cronin, Philip Cahill or any committee member.

When the current works have been completed the main pitch area will be well up to the standards now required, having been greatly enhanced by the floodlighting installed recently.

TEAMS

For the first time in the history of the club, three teams were fielded in the Senior, Junior A, and Junior C Leagues. This bodes very well for the future of the hurling section. The O’Sullivan brothers, Diarmuid and Paudie, along with Donal Óg Cusack, lined out for Cork on Sunday last in the Hurling League Semi-Final against Galway. Despite the defeat, we wish them all the best in the forthcoming All-Ireland Championships.

GOLF SOCIETY OUTING

Recently, a fine number of members of the Cloyne GAA Golf Society travelled to Spain for a golfing outing and many other pursuits! Apparently all of them were ‘on the ball’ and will no doubt perform equally well in the Annual Golf Classic, coming up during the summer – see website for further details.
