Thomas McCurtains GAA Club Notes
March 27, 2017
A huge thanks to everyone who helped out on Saturday to clean up the pitch and install the footings for the new training goals. The pitch is looking great and the posts will be installed in the next few weeks.
This weekend the hurlers are back in competitive action as they start their league campaign against Robert Emmetts 'B' on Sunday. But before that, on Saturday, the footballers will play Eire Óg again, this time in the McArdle Cup. Both games are in Goodmayes.
