Rounders 

Interested in taking up a new sport? Rounders is one of the four official sports of the GAA and Fr Manning Gaels is looking for people in the locality who have experience and an interest in promoting and coaching the game at Monaduff. Please get in touch with Mike, Lorraine or Pauric if this would be of interest to you or someone you know. 

 

Get Well Soon 

Everyone at the Gaels would like to wish our hard-working clubman Paul Dowler a speedy recovery as he recovers from an accident. We look forward to having Paul back out and about around Monaduff again soon. 

 

Sympathy 

The club expresses its deepest sympathy to the Crowe family on the very sad passing of Sharon Crowe. Eddie and the entire family have given decades of exemplary service to the club on and off the pitch and our thoughts and prayers are with all of Sharon’s family and friends and this very difficult time. Our condolences are also extended to the family and friends of Johnny McKeon (uncle of our clubman Tommy McAvey) who passed away in America recently and to Sarah Lennon on the passing of her mother Elizabeth Gilchriest.
