Enniscrone/Kilglass GAA Club Notes



Dinner Dance

We had a very enjoyable dinner dance last Friday night at the Diamond Coast Hotel in Enniscrone, with a large crowd in attendance. It was fantastic to see some stalwarts from years past as we honoured the 1966 Junior Champions and the 1991 Intermediate Champions, while the Enniscrone-Kilglass minors of 2016 were also honoured following their efforts with the combined Enniscrone-Kilglass/Easkey side that won the ‘A’ Championship. Congratulations to our individual award winners – Eamon Sheridan (Hall of Fame), Cathal Mullaney (Clubman of the Year) and Keith Carden (Player of the Year). All in all it was a very successful evening; thanks to the Diamond Coast for their excellent hospitality. Pictures from the evening are available on our website and Facebook pages.

Astro Turf development

The astro turf development is coming along very well at Quigabar with the astro turf being laid in the coming week. We have launched our fundraising drive to help fund the completion of the project, and hope that supporters, players, sponsors and associates of the club can contribute in the next couple of months. There are three ways you can contribute – buying a brick (€100), block (€250) or wall (€1500). All donors will be remembered in perpetuity on a donor wall inside the building when complete. To donate contact Joe Cawley (087) 9173991, Eugene Nelson (087) 2339591 or pro.enniscronekilglass.sligo@gaa.ie. Your support at this extraordinary time in the club’s history would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats

We extend our congratulations to Paul Tuffy Jnr, Culleens and now New York, who received the Sligo Person of the Year award at the Sligo-New York Dinner Dance next weekend. Paul’s father, Paul Snr, has been a stalwart of the club and was our Vice President in recent years. Congratulations also to our own Francie Gallagher, who last week was elected as Assistant Treasurer of the Sligo County Board. Best wishes to Francie in his new role.

Pole Position

Best wishes to our Ocean FM ‘Pole Position’ quiz team of Gerry Gilroy, Eoin Hallinan and Billy Varley in their first round clash with Owenmore Gaels this week. The sports quiz sees 16 clubs take part from all across the region. Tune into Ocean FM next Sunday evening at 6pm to hear how the lads got on.

Blotto

There was no winner of last weekend’s blotto draw. The jackpot is now €5300, and the draw continues every Saturday night. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
