Ladies
Well done to Aine Hill, Caoimhe Hughes O’Brien and Lucy McGlynn who played for the Donegal under 14s against Derry on Sunday with Aoibhínn McGarrigle and Katie O’Brien also part of the panel.
Under 12 girls training will be resuming indoors in February. If anyone is around to give a hand for an hour for the first few weeks so we can get it up on running as soon as possible contact Karol Foley on 086 8780164. Karol knows the girls are eager to get back together after the winter break and prepare for the 2018 Season. She would appreciate if parents / guardians of under 12s [2006 and 2007] could send her a text with their names and name of their daughter to set up a WhatsApp Group for team communications about training, matches and so on.
Hurling
Aodh Ruadh Juvenile Hurling Committee have had a great response to their Last One Standing competition sponsored by Mr G’s. Some 350 entrants started out in the competition, a number of shock results including defeats for Cork and Tyrone and a couple of draws saw the field whittled down to 199 as we head to week two.
We are still looking for help with our underage teams especially our under 8s. Training begins on Sunday, 4th March and anyone interested in getting involved is asked to contact John Rooney on 086-2587793.
