Eochaill GAA Club News

We are currently promoting Gaelic Games in our local Primary Schools with our qualified coaches, Siobhan Downing, Shane Spillane & Ken Dempsey visting schools on a weekly basis.

Our Schools’s Liason Officer John Parker is also extremely active with our schools and has now organised an extra session every Wednesday @ 3:15pm where the Sciath na Scoil players from all primary schools are coached. If anyone is interested in helping John during this session please contact him on 0868212341.

Uachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Críostóir Ó Cuana has generously donated a set of Jerseys to Bun Scoile Mhuire.

The presentation was made at Bun Scoile Mhuire last Thursday afternoon by Eochaill Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Officer John Parker.

The Club and the school would sincerely like to thank the Uachtarán for this generous gift and we would also like to thank and congratulate John on the tireless work he does introducing our National game into the schools. John is a credit to the Association and to Eochaill Cumann Lúthchleas Gael.

Winner alright!

Congratulations to Michelle Lawton and her family who travelled to Curraheen Park for the February Greyhound Spectacular in the Cork GAA Clubs Draw.

The Lawton’s were wined and dined and had a wonderful night out and to top it all off Michelle had the second dog home in Race 6, netting her a nice €500.

Garryvoe Hotel Junior Football League Division 2

Youghal will play against Cobh this coming Tuesday night at Magners Hill in the East Cork Garryvoe Hotel Junior Football League Division 2. After a great start with an opening win in Ballynoe against St Catherine’s, there was disappointment with a defeat to Glenville, but this is Youghal’s opportunity to get things back on track in their first home game of the 2011 League, so it is hoped that plenty people turn up to cheer on the lads.

Eochaill played hosts to an underage hurling club from Newry who played at Club Arás. We want to wish them a safe journey home and were delighted to have them in our club.
