Foot and Mouth outbreak our ticket sellers were unable to contact all members of the parish. Those who have not
yet been contacted, will be visited shortly. Anyone wishing to purchase a subscription, which includes club
membership, can also contact any club officer.

notice.

The first senior competition of the season, the Pick and Choose League, begins on Sunday March 18, 2001 when
the team face Tubbercurry at home. Spectators are asked to use the disinfectant mats provided at the entrance to
the pitch to further combat the threat of Foot and Mouth disease. It is hoped that all sporting activities in the parish will resume in the near future as restrictions of movement are lessened.
 
Due to the recent spell of inclement weather use of the pitch is limited. Those wishing to use the pitch should
contact Michael Marren or Neil Egan.
