Under age presentation

On  Sunday evening medals were presented to our underage teams who have had a very successful 2012.
The presentation was made by our special guest, club legend, Shay Walsh who had huge success at club and county level in the past.  In his speech Shay  urged all players to keep playing for as long as possible and that they were of huge importance not only to their club but also that their club is a vital cog in their path to success in many walks of life. 
Thanks to all who turned up to support the players and afterwards everyone enjoyed the food and refreshments that were served. Thanks to Martina Heneghan  and to all who helped with the catering  and a special word of thanks to Mary and Paddy Pettite  and the staff in the Community Center for helping to prepare the hall and ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

AGM 2011


We  recently held our A.G.M. and  would like to thank all who attended on the night and all who sent apologies.
The secretary, Mary Davis, presented a detailed report.
  • She complimented the underage players and  management teams on their success in 2011.
  • She also informed the meeting of the successful discussions with Glinsk GAA, which have resulted in the formation of group teams for all underage and adult teams for 2012 using players from both clubs. The teams will play under the name Glenamaddy/Glinsk. Mary further informed all present, that there were still issues for discussion and that these would be addressed as quickly and efficiently as possible in the coming weeks. She also stressed that it was important that  lines of communication were kept open with all players and members and that the committee were willing to address any concerns that were raised. She wished both clubs every success on their new journey and looked forward to lots of football for all players in 2012.
  • The meeting was also informed that to date the club web site and blog has had approximately 11,000 visitors from many parts of the world since its inception, and she complimented Rynn Kemp for his continous work maintaining this site. 
  • Mary thanked her fellow officers for their help and support in 2011. 
Kevin Duffy  the treasurer then presented the accounts which showed a healthy balance sheet.
  • Kevin expressed the clubs thanks to all who contributed to the club by sponsorship, buying lotto envelopes and annual lotto tickets. He asked that players  and all members promote the sale of the annual lotto tickets both locally and also to the many people from our club and locality who have emigrated. Seamus Walsh our president was commended for introducing the lotto to the club. The lotto will have been in existence  for 20 years in 2012. 
  • Kevin concluded his report by thanking his fellow officers and all who had helped in 2011.  


In his address club chairman Michael Curtin said that 2011 had been a year of mixed fortune for the club.
  • Great success at underage had been achieved, but poor performance at adult level.
  • He said that the  group team formation would be a challenge for both clubs but one that he looked forward to. He felt that this would make more players available from both clubs and keep the GAA flag flying for both parishes. 
  • Michael thanked all team managers, selectors, panel members and their families for their commitment in 2011 and also the 3 primary schools and the Community School for continuing to promote the game. Michael expressed the club's thanks to all who had contributed in so many. 
  • He thanked all our sponsors especially Glenman Corporation, our main sponsor.
  •  Michael thanked his fellow officers and offered a vote of sympathy to all who suffered a bereavement in 2011. 
The election of officers then took place:
