Cúl Camp: We had very tired happy young Gaels after last week's camp with weather a lot more manageable than the week before. There was the odd shower but mostly good conditions to allow the kids fully participate in a well run week of fun and games. Thanks to GDA Andy Ryan, head coach Mark Heffernan and his coaches from Roscrea. Thanks also to Aisling and all her helpers.

Monthly Draw: Our Monthly draw for August has been announced with an eye towards the new school year. A hamper of supplies for the return to school will no doubt see all the tickets sell quickly. Prize fund currently stands at €11,500 we had no winner last week.
