Club Notes 3/2/15

Leagues Start –  As the Senior Footballers commence their training  it has been announced that the RFL will start on Sunday 8th of March with the IFL beginning on  the 22nd of March.

Under 14 – This team continued training indoors on Saturday afternoon last.The importance of players and parents taking responsibility for doing this on their own as instructed cannot be emphasised enough. It improves basic power, flexibility, reduces the chance of injury and improves the general physical fitness of the player. Please ensure you follow the program during the week and all players should be in Drumhowan on this Saturday for another session at 4pm sharp. Wear runners and tracksuit and take a skipping rope and  a small bottle of water with you.

Under 12 – Training for this group will begin on Monday 16th February at 7pm. All players are asked to get out and active in the next 2 weeks in advance of the season commencing. Get out with a ball practising your skills and get fit and ready to go. We have been placed in a group in the Spring League along with Truagh, Clontibret and Clones.

Under 10 –  The indoor league that took place last year recommences again on Saturday 7th February at 11am and will run for the four Saturday mornings  of February in Ballybay Recreation Centre. We will have games against the local clubs. This will be a good way to start the season for this group. Please remember to bring water and your gumshield.

Juvenile Presentation and Registration night will take place this year on Sunday evening February 22nd. Medals will be presented to our successful Under 12 & 14 sides from last year along with various Scor winners including our Double winning All Ireland Champions Music
Group. Maybe by that stage hopefully they could have completed the three in a row.
