JUVENILES TRAINING

A full compliment of our juvenile teams have all returned to the training fields over the last two weeks. The first gatherings were eagerly anticipated by both players and coaches and each session was met with great enthusiasm. Sunday mornings sees our youngest hone their new skills in the club’s gym while the u8s take to the fields and wall ball at St. Johns Park. U10s and 12s also returned for some pre-season activity and will enjoy sessions at Wallslough Arena for one more week before returning to the O’Loughlin Gaels pitches to prepare for early season games. It is always great to see plenty of activity amongst our juvenile teams but it very rewarding to see the joy that all the young players of St. Johns Parish get from it. Welcome back boys and more are always welcome. Sunday mornings in St. Johns Park at 10.30am.
 
LUKE RECIEVES MAYORAL HONOURS
At a special function hosted by Lord Mayor of Kilkenny, Cllr. Joe Malone, our very own Luke Leydon was presented with a Certificate recognising his contribution to the Community of St. Johns Parish. Mayor Joe invited members & players from O’Loughlin Gaels GAA, members of the Medjugorje Youth Group and members of the Leydon family along with Deputy John McGuinness and Luke’s employers at Perfecto Print Ltd to the City Hall to see Luke being presented with his Certificate. All present heard Joe speak of Luke’s activities in the community and invited O’Loughlin Gaels Club Chairman Brian Murphy and Medjugorje Youth Leader Sean Hickey  to address the crowd in attendance. Brian thanked Luke for his commitment to the club and reminded all of Luke’s talent in providing the club with lasting memories of all club activities through his photography. Luke has also been involved in Junior Team selection and always makes himself available to the club when called upon. Sean Hickey spoke highly of Luke and the importance of his comradery through his involvement with the Medjugorje Youth Group. His commitment to organising and aide to all the young people travelling is invaluable. It was a remarkable evening topped by a bit of sing song with Luke’s friends Fionn Gardiner and Alan Hayes. Well done Luke and thanks for all your work.

There was no winner of last week’s Lotto. The numbers drawn were 13, 16, 23, 27 and the bonus number was: 20.  Tickets can be bought from the usual selling agents or by asking at the clubhouse bar. Remember – if you’re not in; you can’t win the jackpot prize of €20,000.

COLLEGES LEINSTER FINAL
 
The very best of luck to all O’Loughlin Gaels and St. Johns Parish players competing in Saturdays Senior Colleges Leinster Final. The very attractive fixture sees two very strong sides and adversaries pitted against each other. St. Kierans College and CBS Kilkenny boast a strong O’Loughlin Gaels contingent between them making it another proud day for our club. For once too it will see some neighbours divided in their loyalties adding to the occasion and rivalry it brings. Friends in the club will face each other on Saturday in an expected thriller but will back playing alongside each other in the coming weeks for their club no matter what the outcome. Best wishes to both panels and enjoy the game.
