SOLOGHEAD GAA CLUB

Sologhead GAA Club held their AGM on Friday night, January 5, where outgoing chairman Tim Hanley produced a thorough snapshot of both on and off field activities over the previous twelve months while also focusing minds on club commitments and the requirements of the clubs five year plan.

Similarly secretary Noreen Ryan gave a detailed report on happenings on the field while Treasurer Nicholas Lonergan along with assistant treasurer Padraig Ryan gave a wide ranging and accurate breakdown on all matters financial on the every day running costs of the club.

On a side note here we congratulate Nicholas Lonergan who has been a club officer for the last 50 years having been first appointed back in January 1974.

Also a proposal was floated with the view of setting up a Ladies Football Club in the parish and certainly an idea that’s well merited and would have the backing of all groups within the club. While it’s good to see some of our girls playing with neighbouring clubs and given the facilities that are presently available in Sologhead, now is the time to bring it to fruition.

Any details or proposals you may have can be discussed at adjourned annual general meeting.

Officers elected: Chairperson, Tim Hanley; Secretary Noreen Ryan; Ass. Secretary Kevin Hanley; Treasurer Nicholas Lonergan; Ass. Treasurer Padraig Ryan; PRO. Tommy Fitzgerald; Childrens Officer Annette Russell; Junior Hurling Manager Willie Dee; Co. Board and West Tipp delegate Willie Dee.

The following positions were not filled and are carried forward to be appointed at adjourned AGM on Friday, January 19. Vice Chairman, Coaching and Development Officer, Player Representative on Club Committee, Junior Football Team Manager and Club Delegate to County Football Board.
