The Club would like to thank all our sponsors, ticket sellers and everyone who purchased tickets and especially those present on the night.  Our Club was represented at the Wicklow County Convention held recently by Chairman: Liam Keenan, Secretary: Denis Mangan, School Liasion Officer: Des Burton, and Chairman of the County Appeals Committee: Liam O’Loughlin. 

We would like to convey our best wishes to Club players who are presently involved with the various County football panels – Robert Lambert with the County Senior football panel, Patrick Phelan with the Under the 21 panel and Dean Newsome with the minor football panel. 

As 2014 draws to a close we would like to remember our players who are presently abroad at the moment – Darragh O’Brien, Eoin O’Loughlin and Brian Canavan and welcome back those players who returned  during the year – Scott Newsome, Bobby Newsome, Richard Keegan and Lorcan Kavanagh. 

To everyone who helped in any way both on and off the field to make 2014 such a success for the Club at all levels a big thank you.  The winning of the Intermediate Football championship was the highlight of the year and this success generated   a “feel good factor” throughout the whole community. 

The Club would like to extend its deepest sympathy to Sean & Eilish Byrne on the death of their son Daniel and also to his brothers Mark, Patrick, John & Ronan & sister Clodagh. Daniel played juvenile football at all age levels for the Club and was part of the Junior football team to contest two County finals against Baltinglass in 2008 & Rathnew in 2011.
