Tyrone Feile Champions
Congratulations to the Eglish Feile team who won the Tyrone Feile Cup in Derrylaughan on Sunday 1st May, securing their place in the All Ireland Feile in Tipperary in June. Well done girls!

Tiny Tots
Last Saturday our U8’s and U10’s travelled to Garvaghey for the first time to take part in the development blitz. Despite the miserable conditions, the girls played excellently, even recording a few victories against some hurling clubs! Going forward, the U8s and U10s will attend this blitz on the first Saturday of each month. (Please note, on this first Saturday – there will be NO training for U6).
Normal training for all resumes this Saturday 10am – 11am at Father Connolly pitch. This training is geared towards girls from P1 to U10. Any P1s wishing to come along to training must be accompanied by a guardian for the entire hour. We would love is any other parents or guardians would be willing to come on board and help out this year as we have large numbers and additional help is hugely beneficial!
Please remember that girls must come appropriately dressed for the weather. Don’t be fooled by the sunshine – it really can get quite cold, especially for little fingers! Gloves/hand warmers are highly recommended!
Sticks and helmets will be provided but we would encourage girls to buy their own stick to aid their own development. Sticks can be bought from the club for a cost of £5. Please get in touch with any of the
coaches on Saturday morning if you would like to order one.
Eglish will host the first “GO GAMES” Blitz of the year on Saturday 28th May.

Defibrillator Course
A defibrillator course is scheduled to take place in the club rooms this Thursday 12th May at 7.30pm. Even if you have completed this training before, it is vital you attend and treat it as a refresher course.
