In last week’s piece about the function for Pearse Daly I omitted the names of Myles Reilly, Mary and Michael Francis Mc Keon and Karl Bleakley. The immense contribution of Myles, Mary, Michael Francis and Karl cannot be over looked and I apologise for their exclusion last week.
The club would like to wish all those taking part in State Exams over the coming weeks the very best of luck. We also want to wish Trisha Hourican the best of luck during her travels to the U.S.A. Finally best of luck to Áine O’ Reilly and the Longford Ladies u-14 team who are playing in the All Ireland Final in Mullahoran.
Congratulations to Nathan Brady who won a Gold Medal in the Community Games National Competition in the Solo Singing section.

It was a week of mixed fortunes on the playing field. The Div. 1 team started with a two point victory over Fr. Manning Gaels on Wednesday 2nd June (1-14 to 2-9). Unfortunately this was followed by defeat to Abbeylara. We lost out on a score line of 4-6 to 0-13 which was a harsh result. The Div. 5A team scored a two goal victory over Fr. Manning Gaels on Friday 4th June. The final score was 2-7 to 0-7.
Our Div. 5A team take on Abbeylara in Oliver Lynch Park on Wednesday 9th June at 8pm while on Friday 11th at 8:15 the Div.1 team will play St. Patricks Ardagh in Fr. Mc Gee Park. Finally on Sunday 13th the Div. 5A team will entertain Longford Slashers in Fr. Mc Gee Park. The time for this match has yet to be decided.
There was no winner of the May 31st Lotto Draw (21, 26, 15, 18) of €4100. Lucky Dip winners were Vonnie Sheridan, Aughadowry, Sean Reilly, Arva C/O Nellie Gormley, Killian Reilly, Cunareen and Pauric Mulfaul, Gowna.
