St Clarets GFC Notes March 25th 2012
The senior team continued their pre-season campaign with a trip to Reading to take on St Anthony's. Sadly we suffered our second reverse of the pre-season. Many thanks to St Anthony's for hosting the game and also for their hospitality afterwards. Hopefully we will be able to return the compliment in the future.
Official London competition starts next weekend, when we take on North London Shamrocks in the Murphy Cup at Kingshill Ave, Hayes on Sunday April 1st, throw-in time 1.30pm. All players are requested to be at the ground at 12.30pm. This match will be followed by the Murphy Cup clash between Heston Gaels and St Brendans, so it's important we get our game off on time.
Senior team players are reminded that training continues this Monday at Brunel University, Uxbridge and Thursday at Hayes Rugby Club, Kingshill Ave, Hayes. All players who wish to be considered for the club's senior team for 2012 are expected to attend. Pick-ups are available from local tube and railway stations. Contact John Kelly on 07884 473672 or Paddy Donaghy on 07765 492603 for further info.
Club membership fees are now due. Membership costs £20 per person and there is also a £20 per family membership for those involved with the youth teams. Please make sure you have registered. Forms available on the "news" section of the website.
There will be a Mass said on the evening of Friday April 20th at 7.30pm in Botwell Church, Hayes for all club members as well as in memory of all our deceased members. After the Mass there will be a social evening in Botwell Club. All club members and supporters are invited. More details to follow in the next few weeks.
A fundraising evening will take place on Friday 27th April at the Botwell Club, Botwell Lane, Hayes, in aid of the Douay Martyrs School who will be sending a Gaelic football team to County Wicklow in July of this year. Tickets are £5 and are available in advance or at the door. The evening starts at 8.30pm and music will provided be by O'Hare and Chambers. Raffle prizes include tickets to a Premier League game. Many St Clarets players will be on this team so your support will be greatly appreciated.
Good luck to our player Eamonn Colleran who heads off next weekend on a charity cycle ride to Ballaghaderreen in aid of his brother Brian.
Best wishes to player Ger O'Sullivan who suffered an injury in the game. We hope to see you back in the coming weeks Ger fit and raring to go.

This week's pause for sporting thought comes from American writer Anthony D'Angelo: "You do not have to hold a position to be a leader."
