History in the making!!

Against a background of concern over lack of opportunities for under-age players it was agreed that an approach be made to a neighbouring club with a view to combining under age groups i.e. minor and U-21s.  As a result of these discussions Glinsk was approached and after several meetings involving committees of both Glenamaddy and Glinsk clubs it was resolved that Galway County Board would be consulted. Approval was given for a trial merger of the two clubs at U-21 and Minors only.  Further meetings between the two clubs led to an agreement that these teams would compete under the name of Na Gleannta and would wear the colours of orange and white. 

Acting Chairperson for Na Gleannta is Martin Hurley and Secretary Mary Davis. Paul Devlin,Trevor Dolan, Stephen Neary and Sean Dowd are the management team for both age group teams. 


The pictures show Na Gleannta at one of their very first training sessions this morning in Glinsk.  It was very encouraging to see over 20 lads turn up on a cold (-1.5c) foggy morning and show such enthusiasm.  Well done to everybody for getting this historic merger to the point of fruition.

The next training session takes place on Tuesday evening at Glenamaddy at 8 p.m. 


Two games have been arranged :-

• Friday evening January 29th at 8 pm v. Caltra

• Sunday morning January 31st. v. Kilkerrin/Clonberne

Get along if you can to support the lads and witness this exciting development in the club's history.
