Well done to our boys Feile teams who lined out for the club over the weekend. The lads and their coaches had a great weekend and while there wasn’t any silverware this time out the experience will stand to them. The teams are looking forward to the remainder of the season.
Knockdoemore was a hive of activity on both days with a feast of football for all that attended. Thanks to all of our volunteers who assisted with the organisation.

Green Club:
As part of the Green Club program an additional 300 native trees were planted at our grounds in Knockdoemore this Spring. The trees were kindly donated by Coillte in association with the Tree Council of Ireland and the EasyTreesie – Crann Project. PJ and Kevin together with Paddy Hughes looked after the planting. A further boost to our community green club efforts was achieved when our close neighbour Gerry Kearney planted 2000 trees on his land adjacent to the walkway. We say thanks you to Gerry for taking the initiative and supporting our green club efforts.
