Camogie News
There was a large turn out on Saturday morning for the return to training of the O’Loughlin Gaels Camogie Juvenile Section. Over 100 young girls from u6 to u12s swarmed the St. Johns Park pitches under the stewardship of the hard working Camogie coaches. Newcomers and ‘veterans’ enjoyed the morning with some girls expressing their disappointment at having to wait a whole week to the next training session. Well not to worry - training for juvenile camogie will continue each and every Saturday at 10.30am and new members are welcome anytime. The many parents who gathered enjoyed the morning’s activities and were able to relax with some hot coffee varieties from the new Camogie Café. A welcome innovation set up by the camogie executive.
Next week sees the return of the u14s and u16s camogie as they resume training on Monday the 9th and Wednesday the 11th at 6.30pm.

Gaelic Football
The O’Loughlin Gaels senior team ran out impressive winners over Clara GAA in the first round of the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Senior Football Championship. The scoreline of 3-14 to 0-5 is even more impressive considering the weather conditions presented on Sunday morning. The lads prepare now for round 2
The Big Tree Clearout.
Saturday morning and right through the afternoon saw plenty of activity around the O’Loughlin Gaels Club. Development Chairman Coleman Loughnane and his band of merry men were busy felling and transporting hundreds of Silver Birch to new homes. The space is been cleared and made available to continue to improve the facilities at the club. Coleman is forever working new ways to make the place better to the benefit of all O’Loughlin Gaels’ members and the club is indebted to him. All Coleman asks for is a new pair of working gloves so that he can keep on going in the name of the St. Johns Club. The good news is that the trees have found new homes and are been repatriated in avenues, gardens and public grounds throughout.
Club Lotto
There was no jackpot winner of this week’s club lotto. The numbers drawn were 4, 14, 20, 28 and the bonus number was: 06. 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. Best of luck!
