Intermediate Championship Final 

Our county final fell victim to Storm Ashley last Sunday and it has been re-fixed for this Saturday coming at 1pm in Pearse Park. Fr Manning Gaels would like to wish Niall, Sean, Graham, Liam and the lads the very best of luck. Thank you to Niall Mulleady whose name was omitted last week, for his generous sponsorship towards the team and to Cathal Quinn who provided food at the weekend for the lads.

Our Club: The Fr Manning Gaels Story 

On Thursday evening October 24th at 7pm in The ‘98 Memorial Hall, Ballinamuck, Fr Manning Gaels is launching a history of the club. Uachtarán CLG Jarlath Burns is the special guest for the release of “Our Club: The Fr Manning Gaels Story – A 135 Year History of Gaelic Games in Drumlish & Ballinamuck”. Written by Pauric Gill, the book is 700 pages and contains hundreds of photographs and chronicles the club’s journey from 1889 until 2023. It also looks at St Vincents, St Helens, Scór, and our players and officials on the intercounty stage. We look forward to seeing all our supporters there for what promises to be a great evening.
