National Club Draw: The GAA National Club Draw returns for 2024. The draw takes place on March 27th and all money raised from selling the tickets remains with clubs, therefore a fantastic fundraiser for the club.
Tickets can be purchased on their website: https://naomhultan.com/products/15857/purchases/new
They are also selling physical tickets through our adult players and committee.
Ladies Board: Due to a low turnout at the ladies AGM recently the club were unable to fill the positions required.
The club stated: “We fully appreciate that people feel they cannot commit, have a fear of the unknown or have other priorities, but we really need people to step up and get involved, to make this work for our girls in 2024.
There is a role for everyone regardless of experience and the commitment time they can offer.”
They would welcome your input into the running of the ladies’ club and strongly appeal for people to complete the nomination form, in confidence, for the various open positions ahead of our next meeting.
Naomh Ultan LGFA really needs and appreciates your help.
