The U-21 team bowed out of the Championship on Saturday when they went down to a strong Elphin side in Orchard Park on a scoreline of 1-10 to 1-6. Clann lead 1-3 to 0-2 after 11 mins play with the goal coming from a Donal Shine penalty but Elphin pegged the lead back to the minimum at half-time and they were the much better team on the turn around but were helped by a controversial goal in the 18th minute of the half.
Team: Cathal Hannon, Derek Egan, Ollie Harney, Eugene Pettit, Ronan Gavin, David Flynn, Sean Walshe, Colin Nicholson, Graham Pettit, Ronan Killian, ,Donal Shine (1-3), James Keegan (0-1), David Lennon, Cathal Shine (0-1), Ian Lacey (0-1).

The Junior B team were narrowly defeated by Creggs 2-7 to 1-9 in Cushla Park on Sunday in the Division 4 league semi-final. Controversy arose in this match over a penalty for Creggs,10 minutes in the second half as Clann lead by four points. Clann also scored a penalty which had to be retaken by James Keegan.
The Minor Ladies comprehensively defeated St Marys yesterday in Johnstown by 13-9 to 1-8 but are still unsure whether they will play in the A or B competition until the result of the St Brigids v Four Roads match next Friday. Playing with the aid of the breeze in the first half they went for the jugular and for goals and lead by 32 points at half-time 10-8 to 1-3. There were some tremendous displays all over the field with some great support and unselfish play in the forward division.
Team: Caroline O'Neill, Amy Shine, Rosa Shine, Jennifer Duignan, Sorcha McManus, Martina O'Brien, Clodagh Rock, Kimberley Finlass, Blana Gately 1-3, Rebecca Naughton 1-2, Aisling Lennon 0-1, Keeva Dunning, Michelle Harney-Nolan 3-1, Niamh O'Brien 6-1, Gillian Egan 2-1.

Go Local campaign
IFA Countryside have launched the Go Local campaign. The Irish Farmers Journal this week featured Cornafulla Post Office as an example of a vital community service.
Find out more about the services available at Cornafulla Post Office here.
Here's some more details about the Go Local campaign...
GO Local week is a countrywide campaign, encouraging people to become more aware of the importance and value of supporting your local services. We are inviting everybody to become more actively involved in their local community.
Our churches, post offices, farmers markets, shops, GAA clubs, the pub and all other voluntary-run entities have one thing in common: they are the iron-clad links that binds communities together, preserving our community spirit. The importance of these local services in terms of social interaction, job creation and providing vital supports cannot be underestimated.
Many people forget about the true value of community spirit and local services in the hectic pace of 21st century Ireland. Yet with the current economic climate there has never been a more fitting time to go local, and support the people and services of your own locality.
Support is needed this week – and every week. A community is nothing without its people, and a person is nothing without their community. Within every community there are voluntary organisations and groups that need support and help, so whether its one hour or twenty hours per week a person has to spare, the campaign encourages them to think community and get involved. We hope that people around the country will join all of their family and friends this week to think about the valuable role they play in their locality.
Partners
- Post Offices through An Post and Postmaster’s Union
- GAA
- Church
- Local Pubs through VFI
- FBD
- Bord Bia
- Convenience Store and Newsagents Association

Cornafulla post office, on the main Dublin-Galway road west of Athlone, is typical of many post offices around the country. The business has been in the Harney family since 1959; both Patrick and Bridget were postmasters in their time, and their son Vincent took on the job in 1982.Read the full article on the Irish Farmers Journal website.
Vincent is also a drystock farmer and active member of IFA. The GAA is also in his blood, and he won seven Connacht Club medals and 12 Roscommon Senior County medals with Clann na nGael - a club that won 19 out of the 20 county finals it contested between 1976-96.
Along with the post office, the family have a Spar franchise, and Vincent says the two sides of the business complement each other: "I believe the post office is central to the life of the community. I'd love to see them all computerised, because every community deserves the quality of service this would bring."
He says Post Bank opens a new chapter for the network, and he reckons farmers will use it for their entitlements. "It brings banking back to 1,000 communities, many of which no longer have a traditional bank branch."
Vincent Harney says he loves his job. "I love meeting people, and there's great satisfaction in dealing with their problems and helping them fill in forms. If the post office ever closed, I don't know what I'd do in life."
New families have moved into the area around Cornafulla, and Vincent says it's great that the post office service is there for them. Added to that, he gets lots of customers from Athlone, who want to avoid the traffic and get easy access to parking.
"It's vital the post office is used, especially by people who have other options. That way we keep the service for our neighbours, who absolutely rely on it."

Crannagh Gaeltacht
Did you know that a large area of Drum was once part of the Gaeltacht? And not that long ago either! When the Gaeltacht was established after the first report of Comisiún na Gaeltachta in 1926, Crannagh was one of seven areas in county Roscommon qualified as Gaeltacht areas (i.e. 25%+ Irish speaking). Very little is known about the history of the Crannagh Gaeltacht. We would very much appreciate any help or information that anybody can offer us in relation to this. Indeed, if anybody is interested in using their Irish, or developing it further, we would love to hear from you. More information and contact details are available on the Drum website http://www.drum.ie and the site is also available in Irish at http://pobal.drum.ie

Clann na nGael Notes
Fundraising
The collection process continues, with a great response being received on the doorsteps. Some areas are almost finished while some of the larger areas still have a lot of houses to call to. Approx 60 % of the houses in the rural area have been visited while no calls have been made to houses in the Bealnamulla / Monksland area yet. It is a slow process and time consuming, so any more volunteers would be welcome at this stage. The committee meet every Wednesday night at 9pm. Come along and see where you can help out. Many thanks to all who have contributed so far. We are quite hopeful of reaching our targets at this stage.
