Tangible Community Support
Once again we express our appreciation for the co-operation and support of the authorities of Calasantius College, Oranmore Community Development Association and Maree Community Development Association who assist us in the provision of indoor venues for training for our huge numbers of eager players. We are deeply indebted to all three authorities for their invaluable help when bad weather conditions prevail. We are also indebted to the staff and management of the four primary schools based in the parish for the support they give our efforts.
Individuals who are particularly helpful to us include Liam O'Carroll, Ray Lavery, Rose Flanagan, Jimmy Noone, Evelyn Diviney and Joe Harrisson.
