Camogie U14 Camogie The U14 camogie league competition continued this week when Roscommon Gaels travelled to Four Roads for the second round. The evening was calm and cool similar to the players but they took to the field with fire in their belly. The game started with scores from Roscommon from play and also from accurate free taking and the half time whistle blew with Roscommon Gaels 3:3 Four Roads 0:0. We couldn’t believe it, this was the Four Roads team that had secured their place in féile and we were matching them and beating them. The girls were electric during the half time talk and each one encouraging the other and heard to say ‘now we can’t lie back this is four roads and they will come back at us’. They were taking nothing for granted and as a team decided to start the second half as if they were starting the game again, the lead was incidental to them at this point. The second half began with a mid field battle for ball and Four Roads scored a point. The girls decided they were not having this and regained possession and matched the point. The Gaels rattled in a further 3 goals and 4 points with a final score of 6:8 to 0:1. To say the crowd went wild is an understatement. The joy on the girls faces and their chitter chatter coming off the pitch is what mentors live for. Scorers on the day were Ava Mulry, Zara Fallon, Molly Finneran, Anna Kiernan, Gwen Killion, Grace O’ Gara, Emma Hough, Alannah Sutton. This win puts Roscommon Gaels joint leaders on the league board and the next match is at home to Pearses on Tuesday 21st May 2019 at 7pm. Minor / Junior and U16 camogie training will continue on Thursday in Lisnamult from 6.30pm to 8pm. LGFA U12 Football The u12 girls returned to form on Sunday evening when they took on a very tough and skillful Castlerea team. The girls played some outstanding football in front of a very large crowd of supporters. The girls fought hard throughout the game with everyone playing a vital role and came away with a three score win. Well done to the girls! Their focus now turns to Sunday evening next 26th of May, when they take on Eire Óg in Lisnamult at 6pm in round 4 of the Summer League. We would like to thank the parents for their continued support of the girls each week. Training continues Wednesday evening in Lisnamult at 6:30pm.

AH, the 1980s!

Anyway, you can relive the retina-scorching fashions and synth-heavy pop ‘choons’ at a special fundraising 80s disco in Nancy's Friday 24th May Night in aid of Roscommon Gaels Feile. This disco is to fundraise for the upcoming Feile which we will be hosting in June. Doors open at 9pm with an entry fee of €10.

Camogie U14 Camogie The U14 camogie team began their league campaign on Tuesday 7th May with a match against Oran (the County A Champions). This turned out to be a cracker of a game with the Roscommon Gaels girls on fire and playing the best camogie of the year. It was a free flowing match displaying all the skills of camogie and the two teams battled it out with Oran going in at half time a point up. The Gaels girls took confidence from their first half performance and rattled through the next 25 minutes hardly making a mistake. Emma Hough scored a point from play to level the game and the mentors on the side line had to be contained. The crowd rallied behind them and the girls fought to the end. The Gaels were delighted with a draw against Oran who are the best U14 squad in the County. It goes to show that on any given day we can match up to the best and be counted. The team were deservedly delighted with their performance and they now proceed to the next game against Four Roads in four roads on Tuesday next 14th May 2019. Training continues on Saturday 10.30 to 12. Come and support this team you won’t be disappointed. Minor / Junior and U16 camogie training will continue on Thursday in Lisnamult from 6.30pm to 8pm. Hurling U10 Hurling Many thanks to all who attended and supported our U8 & U10 hurling blitz on Saturday morning in Lisnamult.

U12 Football Well done to our U12’s girls this evening. We played Clann na nGael in Lisnamult. The team fought had and competed all they way until the final whistle. The score board did not go our way today but our team spirit is getting stronger. We will improve, we will compete fiercely when we meet Castlrea. Training continues Wednesday evening. U14 Football On Thursday evening our girls travelled to Kiltoom for our 3rd round of the league v St Brigids. We knew going into the game that this was going to be probably the toughest game in our group. It was a Smashing game of football with all skills on display, the lead changing hands once. Roscommon Gaels played a super first half but we spurned a few good goal chances that would have given us a deserved lead at the break and, instead, we trailed by four. We quickly regained the lead after the break and raced ahead by two only to take our foot off the gas and Brigid’s fought their way back, a very late goal giving them a lead we had no time to overcome. There was a great Roscommon Gaels crowd at the game and we were all very disappointed for our team, convinced we should have taken it. Of course we can only congratulate Brigid’s who never lay down. Final Score Roscommon Gaels 6-06 St Brigid’s 5-11. Panel: Caitlin Hannon, Eve McNeill, Emma O’Farrell, Kate Harlow, Ciara Killeen, Sarah Purcell, Emma Hough, Alanna Sutton, Carole Green, Jenny Morris, Ava Mulry 3-0, Zara Fallon, Grace Dwyer 0-1, Shauna Walsh 2-04, Moll Finneran 1-0. Our next game in the Div 1 League is v Pearses on Thursday in Lisnamult. Football U14 Football Roscommon Gaels 5-05 Boyle 2-11 Bank holiday monday 6th june we travelled to boyle to play which we knew was going to be tough to win.

They tore into us and we couldn't get the ball past the half way line and eventually they got in the lead. But our heads didnt' drop and we scored 2 goals in the space of a few mins to get back into the lead & we held on a Great battle in the end.

Message from Chairperson April 2019 Roscommon Gaels GAA club 60th Anniversary Our club is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year as the club was formed when the two GAA clubs in Roscommon town St. Comans and Eoghan Ruadh's (Rows) joined together under the banner of Roscommon Gaels on 1st May 1959. A series of events and activities to celebrate this diamond anniversary are planned over the year. The first of these events is the official opening and blessing of the facilities in Lisnamult. This will take place on the weekend of the 1st of June 2019- the highlight of which is a family and members fun day on Saturday 1st June with BBQ, mini matches, skills competitions, presentations and lots of fun activities in Lisnamult during the day and the presentation of the club awards for 2018 in “Oscars” function room rear of Hollywood Bar) that night. Plans are being put in place for this and details of all the activities will be circulated in the next few days. The first quarter of 2019 has been really busy with a huge amount happening both on and off the pitch. Teams, Coaching & Education At this stage of the year almost all age groups in all codes are out on the field having done some indoor work. A number of teams are at the business end of the leagues or championships and are in semi -finals or finals at this early stage of the year- well done all. An incredible amount of time, energy, commitment and planning goes into training these teams so we encourage people to come and support the people who put in great effort to prepare teams and play for Roscommon Gaels and who represent our club with great pride. Best of luck to all the Roscommon Gaels players and their coaches for the remainder of the 2019 competitions. Following the Club Mentoring programme in 2018 these were the aims decided upon · the club school link, · extend the coaching committee and · to do some coach training both externally and internally within the club These were implemented by the coaching committee under the guidance of the 2018 coaching officer John Donnellan. These were successful put into action and have yielded dividends. The club school link was an excellent development with all Junior & /or Senior infants in St Comans Wood, Gaelscoil de hIde and Kilteevan primary schools were coached by a group of volunteer coaches from our club. The coaches did the ABC (agility, balance & coordination) programme and basic skills in football and hurling/camogie with all the children. At the end of six months the students got a presentation of a certificate and a Gaels wristband and the fruits of this programme have transferred into the Academy with great numbers attending in the first few weeks. Many thanks to all the coaches involved in this initiative, Mick Byrne, Seamus O’Neill, Decie Walsh, Paulie Hoare, Dion Hegarty, John Conneely, John Donnellan, Adrian Tully, Teresa Hession and Enda Daly As mentioned earlier the Academy for camogie/ hurling and football for all school going children U6 has begun on Tuesdays ( for girls) and Wednesdays (for boys) in the Hyde with great numbers of both players and coaches participating. The children do a similar programme to the one that the club coaches ran in the parish primary schools and there has been a great uptake on both evening with lots of new parents happy to assist. It is a wonderful initiative and being received very positively. Well done to all involved in the planning, organising and execution of this programme Child Protection & safe guarding The club has successfully run two child protection courses in 2019 and any coaches have attended various coaching courses at both foundation and Level 1. Lots of good work has been done in the club to ensure we are compliant with the legal requirement that all coaches and mentors who have players u18 on their panels must be garda vetted. However there may be some who have joined panels late etc and they are reminded that garda vetting is a legal requirement when working with children in the GAA / LGFA / Camogie and GAA e-vetting must be done immediately via the link on the GAA website. Garda vetting from workplaces or other voluntary organisations will not suffice . Anyone who has not completed a child protection course or a foundation training course should contact our childrens officers, Peter Mullen and Maire Allen, asap to get their name down for these as a matter of urgency. An AED / defibrillator course was held recently with a good attendance. Thanks to all for completing this vital training. It is a life skill we hope you never have to use but if you do use it then you may save a life. Feile Football 2019 Following the incredible success of the camogie and hurling feile last year the Connacht region has been chosen for the football feile for boys and girls in June 2019. This was one of the highlights of the GAA year in the Gaels last year as it was brilliantly organised and run with huge numbers of club people working on the planning of the events, preparation of teams, hosting of players, entertainment and refreshments as well as the preparations of our playing facilities and funding of gear and teams etc. We have three teams involved again this year with two girls teams and one boys team enetered. This is a whole club event and planning is well underway for the upcoming football feile. Please support all initiatives to make this equally as successful and memorable as last year’s feile was . Other club activities Other club activities The progressive 25 cards on a Monday night (which just finished up for the summer months and will recommence on 21st Oct 2019)and bingo on a Sunday night both in the Hyde centre have proven to be a great success with ever growing numbers and give our community a connection with our club as well as providing much loved weekly social events. Thanks to all to run and organise these very important events Roscommon Gaels All Stars team Another new initiative which is coming next month is the Roscommon Gaels All Stars team for primary children from the parish and beyond with special or additional needs so that they can enjoy the benefits of team sport and being part of a GAA club. This is a really positive development in the club, Thanks to those who are driving this initiative to make it a reality. Club Mass A large crowd attended the club mass in early February in the Sacred Heart Church. It was a lovely occasion to celebrate the activities of Roscommon Gaels in our parish and was a real celebration of our club. It was a fitting way to remember the deceased members of our club and also people who are ill or going through difficulties and to look forward to the coming year. Huge thanks to Una Ni Chuinn for organising the Mass and to all those who sang / played music, read and presented gifts and to Fr. Joe for celebrating the Mass for us. Hyde Park There is a group of very hard working people who work tirelessly before, during and after big match days in the shops and programme selling in the Hyde and whose contribution to the club is valued and raises much needed revenue for the running of the club. They have been particularly busy with a lot of NHL and NFL as well as LGFA matches in the Hyde from the 2nd week in January to early April with the culmination of the league. Developments in Lisnamult We all should be very proud of the dressing rooms, toilets etc that have been in use since June 2018. They have greatly enhanced the club and is much admired by all who have used it. We should be especially proud of the air to water heating system that has been certified by SEAI. Currently the finance and development group is looking at the next phase of development of our facilities in Lisnamult. These include development of new car park spaces, resurfacing and lighting of existing car park and putting astro turf surface, fencing and proper lighting in front of sports wall to make it more user friendly for the whole year especially when adverse weather and poor lighting prevails. The further treatment and development of our pitches is always ongoing. These developments as well as the running of the club and paying our debts on our facilities are expensive and constant and will need to be funded through various fundraising initiatives, lotto sales etc. All of this will need the full support of all the club and the wider community. To finance and help in the running of the club and to further develop the facilities in Lisnamult we would encourage • Participate in the upcoming fundraising events • We are encouraging all club members to support our weekly Lotto( the jackpot currently stands at €8,000) by subscribing on an annual basis - €90 per year pay upfront (resulting in 8 free draw entries) or pay €8 per month standing order (resulting in 4 free draw entries). This is less than €2 per week. • Donate to the club towards the development of the club facilities • Sponsorship • You can help with teams by coaching, assisting at training, umpiring at matches, helping with refreshments after matches or other club events etc • Get involved in organising a fundraiser or a club event • Become an administrator • Help with Scor or any of the social or cultural activities • Assist with programme selling or in the shops on match day in the Hyde or Lisnamult • Become part of a team that sells the Lotto weekly • Be a part of the club in any way that you can as it is a most rewarding, satisfying social and enjoyable experience for all the family We thank you all for the work that is currently being done and for your support of Roscommon Gaels club in the past.

Roscommon Gaels 2-07 Clann na nGael 4-04 Our McNeills Stores Sponsored U14 Girls played the first round of the Div 1 League on Wednesday evening last on a wet and cold evening in Johnstown. A rush of goals 5 mins in with Clann finding the net on three occassions put us on the backfoot from the start. Two crucial changes 6 mins in made all the difference. Clann only scored two more points after our change. Half time score 3-3 Clann to Roscommon Gaels 0-7. We were dominant for most of the 2nd half and fought hard to the very end a pass from Shauna Walsh to Lauren O’Connor ended in the back of the net to level the two teams for the first time in the game. Clann found the back of the net one more time. With only seconds to go Roscommon Gaels had another chance at goal which was saved by the Clann keeper. Our girls showed great determination and spirit and never put their heads down. We take away a lot of learning which will help with the girls development. As management we understand that kicking 17 Wides 10 of them from frees is something we need to work on with the girls. Despite a fantastic come back they were bet by a goal. Despite losing these girls should be very proud of their performance. One thing for sure the future of Ladies football in Roscommon Gaels is looking bright with the quality and skill of this bunch of girls...... Great to see such a great crowd to cheer them on too. Captain on the evening was Sarah Purcell. Team: Caitlin Hannon, Eve McNeill, Beibhinn Hoare, Kate Harlow, Ciara Killeen, Sarah Purchell (c), Emma Hough, Carole Greene, Alannah Sutton, Zara Fallon, Ava Mulry 0-02, Martha McSharry, Grace Geraghty, Shauna Walsh 1-05, Molly Rose Finneran, Eimear O’Farrell for Beibhinn Hoare, Jenny Morris for Martha McSharry, Lauren O’Connor 1-0 for Grace Geraghty, Orla Dwyer on for Molly Rose Finneran.
