Our Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others team had their first game last week up in Aghadrumsee. It was a very enjoyable outing, and we thank the Magpies for their excellent hospitality. Training continues Tuesday’s at 8.15pm.

The Senior Men wore the New Jersey for the first time in Sunday’s League Opener, we thank Patsy Tracey, The Maguire Family and Tom Jones for their generous sponsorships. The front of the Jersey has Tracey Concrete Belcoo Quarry on it with Maguires Public House on the back and TJ Engineering Solutions on the sleeves.

The Club launched BelcooGAA TV last week with an interview on Friday night with New Senior Men’s Manager Aiden Gilroy and some on field reaction to Sunday’s win over Kinawley. We encourage members to like and subscribe to our YouTube channel as we hope to grow our Content throughout the year. Anyone wishing to help in any way, please get in touch with John Flanagan or Paul McGrath.

The club will be offering Tea, Coffee, Soft Drinks, Crisps & Chocolate. All £1 each at the Senior Home games. It is hoped & planned that this could be available for all games including Ladies and Youth games. We are asking for volunteers and helpers. If they could give there names to Darragh Timoney or any committee member.

Players and Parents. Do you have boots which have been out grown and are too good to throw out? Over the next few weeks you can recycle them by donating them to our boot exchange. We will also accept donations of old club merchandise and GAA gear in good condition which you no longer use.

The aim is to have a facility where boots and gear can be reused so we can help the community and the environment. The boot/kit drop box will be just inside the equipment container door at the football pitch. You can also give them to one of the coaches. Once we have enough collected, we will sort them out and hold a weekend boot/kit exchange. If you don’t have anything to donate it’s ok, you’re welcome to take something if it is of use to you.

Advertising Signs around the Pitch went up last week. The club are currently offering a good three year deal on signage which will include Facebook advertising, anyone interested in having a sign at the Pitch. Please contact Darragh Timoney, Dom Leonard, any committee member or email our treasurer Treasurer.belcooorahillys.fermanagh@gaa.ie or contact any committee member.

Copies of the Club Plan Document can be lifted in EMC Accountancy on Railway Road if anyone is looking to read at what’s planned over the next few years in the Club.

Best of Luck to Sinead Barrett, Cara Gray, Siofra McAloon, Riona Keaney, Scarlett O’Connor and Eve Barrett who are with the Fermanagh Minor Girls who face Down in the Ulster Championship Semi Final this Saturday in Roslea at 2.30pm. We wish Paul McGrath all the best too as part of the Management team.

The Club extends its deepest sympathies to former Chairman Bernard Feeley and his wide family circle on the death of his brother Patrick last week. May he rest in peace.
