Our under 14 footballers will take part in the Annual Feile Peil competition on Monday next 19th March in Killuran, with Glynn Barntown, St. Martins and the Sarsfields providing the opposition. The winners of this competition will have the honour of representing Wexford in the national Feile na nGael competition. Please check the local press for details of times of the matches.
A Race Night will take place in Hotel Curracloe on Friday night next 16th March starting at 8pm. The proceedings of this Race Night will go towards the expenses of sending our Jim Byrne team to London during the Easter Weekend. All members and parents are asked to give it your support.
The strong link which has existed between the Shelmalier GAA Club and Fr. Murphys GAA Club London continues with the appointment of two Shels men at the helm of the London club. At their recent AGM David Donohoe Curracloe was elected Chairman and Josie Murphy Castlebridge was elected Vice Chairman for the coming year. Another Wexford Paddy Doyle from Rathnure was elected Treasurer at the same meeting. We wish all these Wexford men every success for the coming year and complement them in promoting Gaelic games in the Capital.
