During the last three weeks in July we held our football / hurling / Camoige camps at the Monastery Road venue. Despite some terrible weather conditions both the children and the coaches battled on and ensured a good time by all. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all who received prizes over the three weeks of the camp. I would also like to thank the following; the parents who dropped and collected the children each day, Mary Douglas, Dawn O'Neill and Rosanna Ní Dhonnagain for their assistance with the registration nights, Padraig McCarty, Alan Milton and all in the club for their assistance in organising and implementing the camps, thanks to the coaches for their excellent coaching over the three weeks and finally a big thank you to all the children who attended.
