Shannonbridge GAA Notes
by Conor Killeen

Wedding Bells

Shannonbridge GAA club wish to congratulate two of their Senior footballers who were wed recently.

The club wish Mark and Caroline Carty, Donal and Paula Claffey the very best in the Future.

Both lads are great servants to the club and both wife's great supporters to the cause of the blue and gold through the years.

Best of luck to Belmont Hurlers
Shannonbridge GAA club wish the best of luck to Belmont and in particular John Egan and Harry Kearns who have will be involved with the team when they take on Kilcormac/ Killachey in the Intermediate Hurling final which takes place Shortly.

Both John and Harry are dual Players who Hurl with Belmont and Play Senior Football with Shannonbridge. The Lads are a rarity in GAA in todays game where playing both codes can involve training up to five nights per week.

Belmont hurling has had a long standing history with hurlers coming from Shannonbridge to play with their neighboring parish as Shannonbridge never had a Hurling club of their own.

Families such as the Ryan's and Egan's of Woodbank, Darcy's, Mooney's, O'Shea's,Carty's,Greene's, Killeen's,Kearns,Corbett's, Declan Ryan and Brian McEoy were of many Families and individuals to provide Belmont with some fine Hurlers through the years.

Belmont have not been at Senior level in many years and will hope to make the Break through when they face Killachey shortly.

K/ K with some key players such as Brian Mahon and Ger Glesson in their ranks will be a force to be reckoned with.

Sympathy
Shannonbridge GAA club wish to extend sincere sympathy to the Coleman family for the recent loss of Michael john Coleman.

Michael John or (Chalky) lived in Leeds for a number of years, he pursued his interest in Hurling and continued to play abroad.

The Shannonbridge exile with a "hard Man Reputation" won a number of Yorkshire titles in his time.
