125 Final Day Parade:
A special
parade took place on county final day last Sunday as part of this year’s 125
celebrations. All the clubs in the county were represented by members from
their respective U-12 panels. Coolaney/Mullinabreena was represented by Cathal
Finan and Eamon Gorman on the day.
Underage Blitz/Presentation:
On Saturday
last October 3rd a mini blitz series and special presentation was
held at Nace O’Dowd Park. A huge turnout of almost fifty boys and girls along
with many parents and spectators were entertained with three concurrent
exhibition games involving the U-6, U-8 and U-10/ U-12 groups. All of the
children involved were presented with special commemorative 125 GAA medals for
the event. Refreshments were also provided. Coach Michael Gorman and club
chairman Brendan Kivlehan both addressed the gathering. Tributes were paid to
all the coaches involved throughout the year for their volunteer work and to
all the children and parents involved. It’s very encouraging to see such great
numbers attending these coaching sessions and indicates the strength of the
club at underage level at the moment. Once again well done to all involved in
organising this magnificent club event. Check the club website for photos of
the event.
