As we arrive into the season of club AGMs, we will take a moment to think of all of those members elected to represent and manage the different sectors of the club. All of which are ordinary members of the club who are currently and temporarily, overseeing the running of the club.
We have been operating under the One Club Model since 2021, with an overall Executive group that meet monthly, chaired by the GAA Chair and with representation from the underage boys Academy, Camogie and Ladies Football sectors. Each of these sectors have their own committee managing their day to day operations and each sector needs: A Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar, Communications/PRO Officer. Ideally, a Vice-Chair, Asst. Secretary would also be in place. Added to this are Children’s Officer for each the GAA/Academy, Camogie and Ladies Football. County Board delegates for each sector and Ordinary Members. There is also one Healthy Club Officer across the club.
For the club to continue to operate effectively and to relieve extra pressure being laid on any one persons shoulders in any sector, these roles should be filled by persons with the ability and willingness to carry out the specific roles.
There will be vacancies across all sectors committees for the 2027 season.
So, when you see nomination forms for the various sectors of the club land in your email, have a think; is this something I could do, is there someone I know that may be willing and able to do it. If you want to be nominated, have a chat with the existing committee, or with other members and have your name put forward. If you want to nominate someone else, check they are happy to be nominated and get your nominations in by the deadline.
Don’t sit back and leave it to someone else. All members are responsible for the management of the GAA/Camogie/LGFA club and you will be assisted as needed throughout your tenure.
If you are unsure of taking on a role, chat to the current Officer or try assisting for the first year to help find your feet. There is a general five year limit on Officer roles, there is no ownership of any role, every individual brings their own ideas and new faces are always welcomed.

Academy Update
While our Academy training has wrapped up for the season, there's still plenty happening around Éire Óg, with championship action continuing and some exciting opportunities ahead for our young players.
Our U14 hurlers unfortunately came up short in their county final against O'Callaghan's Mills. While it wasn't the result we had hoped for, the lads can be extremely proud of their efforts in reaching the final and the progress they have made throughout the year. A huge thank you to the players and management for their hard work and commitment.
The boys turn their attention to football this Sunday when they compete in the U14 Shield final. It's another fantastic achievement for this group to reach a final, and we wish the players and management the very best of luck. Hopefully, we can finish the season with some silverware! As always, all support would be greatly appreciated.
Our U16 hurlers begin their championship campaign this weekend as they welcome Corofin-Ruan to Éire Óg on Saturday morning at 10.30am. The lads are competing in the A Championship, which is a straight knockout competition, so there's no room for error from the very first game. We wish the players and management the very best of luck as they begin their campaign and encourage everyone to get out and support them.
Academy Training Update
Although our regular Academy training has finished for the year, the development of our young players certainly doesn't stop there!
We are delighted to announce that the Annual Bishop Willie Walsh Memorial will begin on Wednesday, 4th November. This is a fantastic opportunity for our boys from U13 to U17 to continue developing and honing their hurling skills on the ball wall over the coming weeks.
These sessions are a great way for players to work on their touch, striking, coordination and confidence on the ball in an enjoyable environment. We encourage all eligible players to get involved and make the most of the opportunity.
Further details, including times and arrangements, will be communicated through the relevant ClubZap groups this weekend, so please keep an eye out for updates.
Academy Survey – We Want Your Feedback!
As we reflect on another busy Academy season, we are always looking at ways to improve the experience we provide for our young players.
A survey has been circulated to parents and coaches, and we would really appreciate everyone taking a few minutes to complete it as soon as possible.
Your feedback is hugely important to us. Whether it's what we're doing well or areas where you feel we could improve, we want to hear from you. Our aim is to continue building an Academy where every boy has the opportunity to develop their skills, enjoy their games, make friends and feel part of Éire Óg.
We can only improve by listening to the people involved, so please take the time to share your thoughts. Every response will help us plan for next season and beyond.
Hon the Townies! 🔴⚪
Clonroad Brew
Reminder: This Saturday (31st Oct from 9.30am to 1.30pm will be the last day we're open before we close for the winter.
