Club News:
Colmcille Community Centre will be temporarily closed from 17th February to 2nd March due to essential construction work on the roof structure. For safety reasons, the area will be designated as a construction site, and no access will be permitted during this period. The community centre committee apologises for any inconvenience and appreciates the cooperation of the community. This project is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and Longford County Council under the CLÁR Programme.
The Every Step Counts initiative wrapped up on Wednesday, the 12th, with Colmcille GFC securing 53rd place in Leinster. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, making the effort to get their steps in while promoting health, well-being, and supporting the club. This challenge was a fantastic way to stay active as a community, and we appreciate the commitment shown by all involved. A special mention goes to our top three contributors, Anne McKeon, Emma Brady, and Alan McKeon, for their outstanding efforts. Well done to everyone who took part!
Our senior team’s National League Predictor fundraiser continues this weekend with Gameweek 4 kicking off on Saturday.
