Shannonbridge AGM

Shannonbridge GAA club held their agm on Friday night last in the dressing rooms. Chairman Tom Moore thanked all officials for their great work during the year and all the players for their commitment in 2006.

Frank Guinan was again singled out for all his tireless work he has done through out the year and for all the lotto tickets he continues to sell.

Tom Moore thanked Ferbane for their continued support in facilitating our underage players that we do have at each level. However Tony Rohan highlighted the fact that there was very little numbers playing at under 16 and minor grades. This is a serious issue for the long term future of the club.

Due to falling population in the parish Shannonbridge has been unable to field their own underage teams but the club will be making a renewed effort to get all underage players in the parish to get football with Ferbane because without the players there is no club.

The club also wished to thank our sponsors Kelly printing works (KPW) in Ballinasloe for their continued support over the years.

Following Officers were elected, Chairman Tom Moore, Secretary Jim Killeen, Treasurer Olive Costello, Vice Chairman Frank Guinan, Assistant Treasurer Kieran Rohan, P.R.O Conor Killeen, assistant P.R.O Jason Mahon, Registrar Declan McEvoy

Best of Luck
