GAA update

Congratulations to the Cross and Passion College Senior Boys GAA team who retained the South Leinster 'C' Championship after an outstanding display against Coláiste Eoin from Carlow in the final last Thursday on a scoreline of 3-12 to 0-9. Best for the CPC were Padraig Fogarty, Séamus Pembroke, Paul Bell, David Harris, Keith Kinsella and Man of the Match, team captain Fionn Dowling. They now advance to face the North Leinster champions in the Leinster semi-final in the coming weeks.

Kilcullen GAA would like to sympathise with Donal St Leger, on the passing of his sister Carmel. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Senior training has recommenced under new manager Dessie Brennan. Training takes place on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7.30pm, new players welcome. Kilcullen play their first competitive match of 2010 with a home fixture against Ballykelly on Sunday 21st Feb at 2.30pm.

Well done to the minors who won their first rnd league match against Monasterevin on Sunday morning on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-08. Next up for the minors is a home fixture on Sunday morning against Ballykelly at 11.45pm.

Membership for 2010 is now due and can be paid to any committee member.

Happy 21st Birthday to Ciaran "Curly" McMahon who celebrated his birthday lately.

Kilcullen junior ladies team are now back in training for the 2010 season. We are always looking for new girls to come down and be a part of the "Ragettes" regardless of age, fitness or ability levels. Training takes place on Mondays and Fridays at 7pm and anyone interested in taking part can call or text Warren Kelly on 0861991637.

Well done to Emma "Dezzy" Doyle who is currently flying the Kilcullen flag on the county senior team. Best of luck to Aoibhinn, Claire, Emily, Jayne, Kayle, Laura, Sinead and Zainab as they will take part in trials for the county minor panel this weekend.

All of our underage teams will be back in training in the next few weeks and we are playing teams in u12,u14 (amalgamation with Athgarvan) and u16 competitions. These teams are vital for the future of the ladies section and without mentors for these teams, we cannot continue to compete at any level. A ladies meeting will take place Friday 19th at 7pm in the clubhouse and we urge parents of our girls to come down and get involved in any way as help is always needed.

And finally, a big thanks to Eddie Cross of Bardons for his continuous support as sponsor of Kilcullen ladies GAA.
