Carraig na bhFear GAA AGM Report

We held our Annual General Meeting in Scoil an Athar Tadhg on Sat 14th November. A good crowd attended, perhaps slightly down on recent years however. Chairperson Dermot O’Driscoll opened the meeting welcomed all present. The minutes of the 2015 AGM were read and adopted. Outgoing secretary Liam Spillane presented a detailed report on the years events, which were busy both on and off the field. No joy for our Junior Hurlers or footballers in 2015, with the Junior A Hurlers bowing out at the semi final stage of the championship to St. Ita’s, while the Junior A footballers suffered an early exit to Erins Own in the 3rd round of the championship in late April. The Junior B hurlers were defeated by Sarsfields in the 3rd round and the Junior B footballers had a disappointing defeat at home to St. Catherines in the quarter final of the championship. At U21 level, the footballers lost to a very strong Dungourney outfit having had a well deserved win over Youghal in round 1, but the hurlers came up against a better balanced Castlelyons outfit in round 1 and exited at that stage. No silverware to show for the season but plenty to work with for 2016. Liam thanked all the management and selectors of the various teams and thanked the school and juvenile clubs for their hard work throughout the year. Special congratulations were offered to players who represented the club at divisional, colleges and intercounty level throughout the season, including Timmy Geaney, Aaron Dorgan, John & James Forde and Paul Sheehan. The minor hurlers had a particularly good year...
