The McGovern Directional Drilling seniors finished their O’Rourke Cup campaign with a two point loss to Western Gaels in a game that was played in a downpour in Ballyforan on Friday evening last. They will play their biggest game of the year on Sunday next a 3.45pm in Kilglass in the Hodson Bay Group County Senior Football Championship Quarter Final against St Faithleachs. We encourage all club members and supporters to make the trip to Kilglass to roar on the lads.
We again issue a reminder regarding our Cash for Clobber campaign. The collection will finish on Saturday 24th September and we encourage each household to do an “end of summer” clean out and bring all old clothes, footwear or old mobile phones to the Clubroom in advance of the collection. Arrangements to drop off material can be made with any of our Club members.
