ONE CLUB – STRONGER TOGETHER
We are only a year away from a major milestone in the history of the LGFA , The GAA & The Camogie Association, when all 3 Groups are to amalgamate.
Last Monday evening, both sections of The Austin Stacks Club met to examine the proposal in detail.
Vice-Chairperson, Billy Ryle, chaired the session, where Ladies Chairperson, Melissa White & Men’s Chairperson, Éamonn O’Reilly, represented both Sections of The Club.
Exciting and historical times are ahead, without doubt !
