If interested in coaching underage groups/teams, please contact our Coaching Officer, Tim McMahon, on 083 1190323. Talk to him, or text, before Sunday November 24 and let him know your preferred age group! The Rock needs help and welcomes helpers….ní neart go cur le chéile! Nach ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann lucht na Carraige? At a County Board meeting on Wednesday 13th the age groups for juvenile football have been changed back to even ages, to wit, Under 6, Under 8, Under 10, Under 12, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18 (minor). We look forward to 2025.
