NOLLAIG SHONA: We wish a Happy Christmas to all our young players, to their friends and families and to all our supporters.
FAOI 12: Our Under 12 boys had a very pleasant social gathering on Sunday last when they were presented with their hard-earned ‘o8 silverware. The special guests of honour were our own Wayne Guthrie and Barry Shanahan ~ our minor county representatives and players who, because of their talent, discipline and willingness to work hard, have earned a place of pride in the minds of our younger sportsmen within the ”black’n’amber” community. Our Chairman, Ger Reidy, spoke glowingly of our Under 12 stalwarts and of what the future holds for them in the football world if they keep up their dedication and training. He praised the mentors who have willingly dedicated their time and energy to the development of these youngsters. Ger also reminded the assembled multitude that this group of boys could be encouraged to have a go at INDOOR HURLING when the sessions recommence on 11th January ‘o9 in The Green Gym. Juvenile boss, Tim McMahon, was also loud in his admiration for the Under 12 section of the club…bheidís molta dá mbeadh sé ina thost, a dúirt sé. The presence of a fine group of parents reflected their appreciation of what our club is doing for the youth of our town/parish. Colm Mangan, who also believes that we have mighty players in this group, was in charge of ‘o9 Club Calendar sales…”going well,” he stated, ” but still a few left…and all for a good cause!”.

We hope to read about the Under 12s in verse next week with “Just a Rockie” and to whet your appetite…read on…”At the top of the rock, did a new chapter unfold,/ Sit there for a while, that my story be told,/ We started slowly, but soon found our swing,/ Plenty of training, right through the Spring…”.
MENTORS: To all our mentors we say: thank you, well done and Nollaig Shona.
