*TROPHIES – Championship Winners 2022*
It’s time to polish up the trophies and bring them back to the club for the 2023 Champions. - Please ensure that you have engraved your trophy and drop back into the office as soon as possible.
We will be running a Championships Café for the benefit of both players and supporters from Monday August 14th until Friday August 26th.

If you can spare a few hours on one of the evenings, please text Carole Curtin on 087 908 1963 or put your name on the sign-up sheet on the club noticeboard. It's great fun and not very hard work at all!
