Club notices
Claddagh Gaels
Claddagh Gaels, Ladies Gaelic Football Club, travelled 15 hours on coach and ferry from Luton to Castlebar, Co Mayo only to be greeted into the town by Taosiseach Enda Kenny and Mayor Noreen Heston.
Local ladies team Carnacon invited The Claddagh Gaels to play in the Aisling McGing tournament where they met a tough senior side, Hollymount who went on to become runners up of the tournament. The score didn’t reflect the hard work the Claddaghs put in but the team were happy to come away with a few scores on the board.
A civic reception was held at Lough Lannagh Holiday Village where the Claddaghs and the Luton Mayo Association were able to present gifts to the Mayo dignitaries including Taoiseach Enda Kenny. One of the gifts was as a traditional Luton straw hat presented by the Luton Mayo Association and worn stylishly by Castlebar Mayor, Noreen Heston.
