Scor Connaight Final
The Connaught scor final took place on Saturday in Claremorris. Melissa Maloney, Cian Cunniffe and Evin Cunniffe represented Clann na nGael and Roscommon, and they did both Club and County proud in the instrumental music group competition. They were unlucky to lose out to Corofin on the day but they won many friends with their talents over the past few weeks. WELL DONE.
New Principal
The club would like to wish Gerry Kinneavey the best of luck upon his appointment as Principal of St Aloysius College.
Under-14 Training
U-14 training commences on Thursday night at 7 pm. New players welcome, for more details contact Joe Fallon 0868443408.
County Update
The Club would congratulate the Roscommon senior team on reaching the FBD league final following their fine win over Mayo on Sunday.

Light-up Time
The first phase of the development plan was put in place in the past week. New floodlights were installed on the training pitch, so there will be nowhere to hide in 09.

Clann na nGael Notes
St. Stephen's Day Charity Match
Married 5 – 18 Singles 6 – 12
The Married lads made it 3 in a row when they defeated a very spirited Singles challenge. The Married lads were the better in a tough but fast flowing first half, and led by 8 points at the break.
The married extended their lead, but the fitness of the single lads took over. But some last ditch defending by Pat Greene kept the singles at bay. The Married hung on to be deserving winners.
After the match there was craic and ceoil for a few hours as the married celebrated and the singles nursed their broken pride. Music was provided by Bernard, Patrice and Amy Coyle, and they were by many other entertainers. Money raised from the day went to St Hilda’s services, and it was very much appreciated. Both teams would like to thank everyone who helped out on the day.
Club Social
The Clann na nGael club social will take place in the Athlone Springs Hotel on Friday January 9th. This will be a historic occasion, as it is the first time the clubs social will take place in the Athlone Springs Hotel.

Married 5 – 18 Singles 6 – 12
The Married lads made it 3 in a row when they defeated a very spirited Singles challenge. The Married lads were the better in a tough but fast flowing first half, and led by 8 points at the break.
The married extended their lead, but the fitness of the single lads took over. But some last ditch defending by Pat Greene kept the singles at bay. The Married hung on to be deserving winners.
After the match there was craic and ceoil for a few hours as the married celebrated and the singles nursed their broken pride. Music was provided by Bernard, Patrice and Amy Coyle, and they were by many other entertainers. Money raised from the day went to St Hilda’s services, and it was very much appreciated. Both teams would like to thank everyone who helped out on the day.
