Mary Dower RIP.
Shamrocks would like to offer our sympathies to Vera and the Murphy family, Coolbeggan, on the passing of her mother Mary Dower, Clashmore, in her 102nd year. Mary is grandmother to players Sean and Kieran, and mother – in – law to former star Michael. At dheis De go raibh a anam.

Congratulations.
The club sends its congratulations to Peter and Sinead Kingston on the birth of a bouncing baby boy last week. Congratulations from all in the club.

Get well soon.
We send our best wishes for a speedy recovery to two stalwarts of the club, James Tobin, home again, and Jim Nicholson who is still recuperating in hospital. Get well soon chaps!

Team post.
Training is going well under Brendan Landers with reasonably good attendances. They travelled to Cork last Sunday to take on 2017 All Ireland junior club champions Mayfield, and despite missing a few players, gave a runout to some of our younger players like Kieran Crawford, Tom Roche, Liam Motherway, and Ivan O’ Neill, and they acquitted themselves well and earned a draw. These lads are the future of our club and it’s great to see them taking up the mantle.
