With Storm Ciara causing Havoc throughout the country many fixtures were postponed due to unplayable pitches. Both the Men and the Women senior football league games were cancelled. Davy Burke’s Senior men were set to host Sligo in their division 4 round 3 clash at Aughrim. The match will be rescheduled. We have four players on the panel in Captain Dean Healy, Paddy O’Keane, Niall Donnelly and Wayne Doyle. If they were to get a second win on the bounce it would help with a possible promotion bid this season.
The County Senior Ladies were set to square off against Leinster rivals Kildare in the Division 3 clash in St Conleth’s Park. We have a strong showing of six girls on that panel in Lucy Dunne, Niamh McGettigan, Clodagh Fox, Sinead McGettigan, Megan Dunne, Rioghna McGettigan and our own Mick Kavanagh in management. The game is to be rescheduled.
The talented U20’s County team were given a very difficult draw facing Dublin in the opening round of the Leinster Championship as they played in Aughrim on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, it was a tough day at the office as they lost 1-7 to 1-17 to a very talented Dublin side. Our own Paddy O’Keane started the game with Jack Dunne on the bench and Ronan Murray apart of the extended squad. It wasn’t to be for our young players, but there’s an exceptional amount of quality players within that bunch and there’s more to come from them in the future.
St Patrick’s GAA Club Annual Dinner Dance will be on the 4th April in the Parkview Hotel, Newtown. Our Senior Champions of 1969 and 2019 will be honoured with presentations to our successful Senior Ladies league champions, Senior Hurlers League Champions, Junior C Football championship winners and our U17 Footballers league and championship winners. Tickets €40. Reserve the date in your diary for a fantastic night.
The opening fixtures of the league in both football and hurling were released last week. Our Senior County Champions will host Baltinglass on the weekend of the 22nd February in Division 1. Our junior A’s start their league campaign away to Aughrim in Division 3 to be played on the 6th of March.

Our Senior Hurlers will host Avondale in their opening fixture as they begin their defence of their Division 1 league title, set for the week 14th of March. Our Junior hurlers will have to wait until the weekend of the 27th of May to get in action as they also will play Avondale, away from home on that occasion.
On Saturday the 8th of February, there was a dual session of both football and hurling as our U9’s began training. The sessions take place from 11am to 12.15 and we encourage new members to join the club and get their kids involved.
