Club News:
The Colmcille GFC AGM took place on Saturday, November 23rd, in Fr. McGee Park. The meeting provided a detailed review of the past year’s activities, highlighting significant achievements both on and off the field. Key milestones from our secretaries’ report and chairperson’s report for 2024 included notes on our senior team reaching the county final, a strong showing from our underage teams, the retention of the senior management team for 2025, and the success of our 50/50 draw. The club also acknowledged the dedication of volunteers and coaches, whose commitment has been instrumental to these accomplishments and once again opened the door to anyone who wants to get involved in any capacity. The Treasurer’s report confirmed the club’s solid financial standing despite the club deciding to forego a membership fee for 2024. Thanks are extended to everyone who supported fundraising efforts throughout the year. Plans for 2025 include further development of facilities and expanding youth programs, with the potential of a large fundraiser also on the cards. We would like to thank our outgoing officers for their hard work and dedication over the years and welcome new officers to the executive committee. The list of 2025 club officers will be published soon on social media and the club website. Colmcille GFC thanks all players, members, and supporters for their continued commitment, and we look forward to another successful year in 2025.
