Our hurling wall has got a dulux makeover and a new tarmac surface. The wall now has two goals with painted areas for target practice. Excellent to help with hurling and football skills. More images for the wall can be seen under our Gallery.
Thanks to the local FAS guys for the paintwork and Conal Cooper for the tarmac job. Conal can be contacted on 087-2239050 if your looking to resurface any size area.

Our adult teams are all back training and numbers have been good to date. Every player hates this time of year training but this is where the hard work starts.
We’d like to take this opportunity to wish all Managers/Selectors/Mentors and Players the very best for the coming year. Hopefully it will be a successful year all round 🙂
For the less faint hearted, there’s always our Gym (check out our great rates on membership page) or Pilates (classes every Wednesday evening in complex).
We would like to say well done to the local Fás group for their recent litter collection. 300-400 bags of litter were collected along the roads of Monageer over the last two weeks in various different locations. We would also like to praise the local residents who helped with this clean up and who are constantly picking litter off the roads. It is hoped that this practice could continue into the future and we would like to take this opportunity to encourage people to get involved in in looking after their local area and if you would like to do so please contact the Fás Office who will provide assistance.
Tickets still on sale for the upcoming Hassle in the Castle extravaganza, but hurry they are selling like mad. Tickets can be bought from David Breen, Mary Carton or any committee member (find all committee members under contact us page).
