Congrats to our senior footballers who overcame Corofin in last week’s semi, the final score not really reflecting the test provided by Corofin, particularly in the first half. A County final date beckons, next Sunday at 2pm in Cusack Park. Their counterparts in minor saw off the challenge of Wolfe Tones after a dramatic extra time and penalties finish to the game. Hard luck to Wolfe Tones, a truly heartbreaking way for any team to exit the championship. We meet Clarecastle in the final next weekend, time and venue tbc.
A huge well done to our U13B camogie team and our U14 Div 1 footballers who clinched County titles last weekend, there was great excitement and lots of noise made car beeping through the town!

Reeling in the Year’s for Éire Óg’s 70th birthday!
A reminder that the 70th anniversary of the founding of Éire Óg will be marked by an informal get-together in the clubhouse on Friday October 21st from 7.30pm. The event, consisting of a remembrance service, a pictorial trip down memory lane and some refreshments, is of course open to all members, but there's a special welcome for former players, officials and team managers, who wish to renew old friendships, swap tall tales of daring deeds and relive battles won and lost.
Many former players and club officers, some of whom may have lost contact over the years, were written to, informing them of the evening, but if anyone was missed or if you know of someone who you feel would like to go, please bring them along.
It will be a very informal, casual event for the club to show appreciation to those great Townies who got us to where we are today.
