Shannonbridge GAA Club Notes

Celebrity Bainnisteoir.
Celebrity Bainnisteoir Football Game, Shannonbridge v Castleisland, will take place on Saturday next 28th August, in Shannonbridge, at 1.00pm. This game will be filmed for television. All support will be very much appreciated and admission is free.
Our Bainnisteoir Nuala Carey was putting the final touches to the preparations for the big game yesterday, assisted by guest motivational speaker, none other than former Irish Rugby coach Eddie O’Sullivan.
Commentary on Sunday will be by the legendary Michael O’Muircheartaigh, who, incidentally, celebrated his 80th birthday last week.

Shannonbridge / Doon Lottery.
There was no winner of last week’s jackpot of € 13,200. Four match three winners and the numbers drawn were 3, 11, 22, 25. This week’s jackpot is €13,400.

Sponsored Head Shave in Aid of Aware.
Great fun at the sponsored head shave in Killeen’s, where ten “victims” were expertly shorn by Niamh Egan and Eithne Rohan. In excess of €2,000 was raised for Aware by this venture.

Congratulations.
To our club chairman, Damien Brazil, who refereed the Junior Football All Ireland Final, Sligo v Kerry, at Pearse Stadium on Saturday.
Also to Shannonbridge Under-10 player, Saul O’Carroll, on his brilliant achievement in winning gold in the Under-10, 60 metre hurdles, at the Community Games in Athlone, on Sunday.
