Medal Presentation Evening:

The achievements of our Minor A and B teams, who won their County titles in 2021 and our Under 15 team, who won All Ireland Feile Title in 2022, were celebrated on Saturday last at an event in Lakeview. Players from these groups received their medals on the night.

Presentations were also made to our 6 Galway All Ireland Minor players who won with Galway in 2022; Cillian Trayers, Éanna Monaghan, Eoin Geraghty, Jack Lonergan, Owen Morgan & Ryan Flaherty.

The club also presented Jack Glynn with an award in recognition for this achievements last year, winning the GPA GAA Young Player of the year!

Thanks:

Thanks to Niall Clarke and Joe O Connell for their work on the successful grant application under the Sport for All Disability Support Fund. The club have received an allocation of 1435 euro to help setup our All Stars programme. More news about this as the year goes on.

Development:

After the work was done to roof the shelter on Flynns pitch a number of years ago we plan roof our two remaining shelters on the Credit Union Pitch and Monaghans pitch in the next 4-6 weeks
After the ESB poles were moved from the training area over the Winter, it is hoped to begin work on pitch 4 in this area when the weather allows.
Work is beginning on our player gym in Knockdoemore in the coming weeks and it is hoped that it will be up and running in the next 6 weeks.
Thanks to all that continue to put their time towards helping with the development of the club facilities.
There are many other items that are planned for the coming years – subject to funding.

Under 16 A manager:

Our ladies club are looking for an individual or a few that would be interested in getting involved with the Claregalway Ladies Under 16A team.
The Under 16As are the first age group in the Adult ladies club. It is a squad with great potential that has been competitive in the Galway league and championship every year.
The ladies club are very committed to developing and improving this team and so are looking for someone interested in coaching, team selection and team management for the upcoming season.
There are already a few coaches involved that can continue to assist with coaching and also with fixtures, organising refs and pitches and general background work allowing this person to coach and focus on the on-pitch work needed.
