Hurling U10 Hurlers Our U - 10 hurlers continued their indoor programme last Monday . 34 players attended . The theme of the session was “ An introduction to field position “ The lads are seen listening intently to their coaches !!!!! U10’s & U12’s This was a Day out for the Roscommon Gaels U-10’s and U-10’s Footballers and Hurlers to promote the Values that lay within the Club grassroots of the GAA. It was a very memorable day for all Kids and Adults alike, with the trip starting out on the famous Club Rossie Bus, which was great excitement for all. The 15 minute walk to Croke Park from Mountjoy Square was a sight to behold, with Roscommon Gales flags been held aloft, much to the bemusement from the rest of the onlooking supporters. There was great banter between supporters and the Guards on duty outside Croke Park. After a quick visit to the Croke Park Museum, we made our way to our seats in the Cusack Stand. To great excitement from our Roscommon Gaels crew, TJ Reid( 3 Times Hurling All Star and current Kilkenny Captain), Mick Fennelly (Ballyhale Shamrocks Captain) and the legendary Marty Morrissey came over to us for pictures and banter. With great wins for both Ballyhale Shamrocks and Corofin, it was a fantastic experience for all who attended. We finished the day off with a treat in Supermacs in Maynooth, who were extremely accommodating and friendly. Our youth in Roscommon Gaels left dreaming of some day having the same outing again, except this time they will be players and not supporters. Hopefully there dreams will come true! LGFA U12 Football U12 Football is back we had our first session last week, due to the pitches been waterlogged we trained in the Hyde.

League Rd 3: Roscommon Gaels 0-8; Oran 3-5. Our third Junior League outing saw a much improved performance against Oran today at Rockfield. Oran were 7 points ahead at half time but we should probably have enjoyed a decent lead facing into the wind, and rain, which would have changed the complexion of the game if we hadn’t so many wides. Oran made better use of their chances in the second half to run out winners on the day. Credit to both sides who gave it all in a game which stretched energy levels to the limit. After one win, this was our second defeat in the league but all is not lost and we look forward to the upcoming fixture against Kilbride. Support!

Health & Wellbeing News Defibrillator Training Classes We are making arrangements to run Defibrillator Training Classes (DATES TBC) and we urge as many club members as possible to attend. What is an AED? An AED is an Automated External Defibrillator. It is a portable, simple to use, computerised device. When someone suffers a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) it delivers a shock to the heart to allow it to resume its normal rhythm. How an AED (and you) would save their life An AED checks the heart’s rhythm and it automatically recognises if there is a life threatening rhythm. Once detected the AED delivers a shock to stun the heart returning it to its normal rhythm.

Hurling U-14 Hurling The U-14 hurlers lost to St. Dominic's in the county Feile last Saturday. Training continues on Monday evening at 5.30 p.m. in Lisnamult. LGFA U16 Football Our under 16s took to a very cold and wintery pitch today for their first match in the League v Castlrea at Lisnamult. Playing against the wind in the first half put our backs under a lot of pressure but the girls they did not give into it. Goaly Sioda McGuinness was outstanding today keeping their scoring down to just one goal. The full back line of Eadaoin Walsh, Carragh Kennedy and Caoimhe Walsh were solid and kept Castlrea’s scoring to a minimum. The half back line of Emma Crean, Mikayla Martin and the very talented player Ellen Beisty pushed the Castlrea girls back all day. Credit goes to Shauna Regan & Hollie Harkin who worked the field in all directions. Our forward’s and half forwards of Niamh Kelly, Jessica Doran, Isobelle Stephens Lohan, Saoirse Gilooly, Claire McNeill, Eimear O’Farrell, Ali Beirne, Ava Killion, Eva Greene were very strong and the scores were hard earned. Good luck for the rest of the season girls. Pictured are the U16 Management Team Leo McGuinness, Yvonne Donohue & Stephen Lohan. Junior Football Our Junior Ladies took on St Michael’s today in round 2 of the Division 3 league in Ballyfarnon. The Ladies played in atrocious wintery conditions, play had to be suspended for a time. The opening half we were playing against a very strong wind and missed several opportunities at scoring. We soon settled into the game 7 points down at half time. The second everyone of the girls played their hearts out to record their first victory in the league.
