Éire Óg All-Stars @ Senior Football Final
We are delighted to announce that our All-Stars, along with Corofin All-Stars, have been selected to showcase their skills in Cusack Park on Sunday. They will be on the pitch at 1.15 and we would love as much support as possible for our fantastic children. Our aim on the day is to highlight the great work being done in both clubs in regards to inclusivity and to encourage other clubs in Clare to run similar programmes. We are all very excited for the day..!
Club shop
We have a number of medium flags, including a small few crested ones, and some bunting remaining. The shop will operate from 6 to 7 this evening (Friday 28th) for any last minute needs.
Unfortunately there was a problem with the manufacture of the crested hats so our order won’t be in on time for this weekend’s games.
