The club’s youngest stars of the future were in action on Wednesday evening when we hosted an u8 blitz against MacCumhaills. Many of the kids were playing their first match for Naomh Colmcille. Well done to all the players, coaches, and everyone who provided and served refreshments afterwards. Thanks also to MacCumhaills for coming.
The away fixture for the u14s against Burt was deferred until Monday (6th May) at 7:00. A home fixture against Carndonagh is due to take place on Wednesday (8th) – check website and Facebook for latest updates during the week.
Naomh Colmcille has been asked to host a visiting team for the Feile Peile na nOg (for u14s) taking place in Derry from 28-30 June. This would involve local families hosting a minimum of two visiting players. If we have sufficient host families to look after the visiting club, Naomh Colmcille would participate in the Feile competition itself, and this would involve us playing the visiting club at Pairc Colmcille, and then other matches at Derry venues. If you are willing to act as a host family please contact Paul Callaghan (0876843608) as soon as possible.
The Naomh Colmcille Cul Camp is due to take place on 8-12 July.
