Well done to our U17 Boys who captured the A Championship title with a hard fought 2-8 to 0-9 win over a strong Coolera/Strandhill side on Sunday. In an exciting game, two penalties were decisive and were expertly dispatched by Conor McMorrow while all players fought hard throughout and ended up deserving winners. Finishing off a great year for Captain Conor Sheridan, he lifted our first Minor A Championship title since 1973. Well done to all and thanks to the management team of Keith McMorrow, Frank Quinn and Shane Deignan for their work with the team this year.

Shamrock Gaels is delighted to announce that our grounds are now Smoke Free. The club was selected to be part of this great initiative as part of the GAA’s Healthy Clubs initiative sponsored by Irish Life and the Tomar Trust. The club have adapted a new smoke free policy and erected smoke free signage throughout Shamrock Gaels Park. In conjunction with the launch of the policy, the club used the opportunity to raise awareness on the dangers of smoking with the local national schools by running a poster competition which was won by Penny Barlow from Taunagh N.S.

We were in control throughout and always held the ascendency though a good spurt in the second half from Calry/St Josephs closed the gap to four points. However, we powered home in the final 15 minutes with Simone Kelly’s goal the key score to send us on the way to success
