If you’re one of the many people that follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page, then you would have come across our bumper edition of Throwback Thursday.
This ‘Reeling In The Years’ special evoked great memories from fine days in the history of the club. There were journeys back to the success of our club in Scór, Senior Hurling, Senior Camogie, Minor Hurling and much more.

This exercise showcased the wonderful history that our club has and the vital role people like Clare Champion photographer John Kelly and those behind various Tradraí have in capturing moments and documenting for future generations to learn from.
It also showed us that maintained work must be put into all age groups to ensure consistent rewards. On Sunday we’re holding our AGM at 5pm in The Clubhouse, new voices and ideas are needed to drive our club forward, get involved and recreate the good times.
