Fun and Respect Day. We are holding our annual Fun & Respect day on Sat May 5th - during the bank holiday weekend. This is always a very popular event as there will be various activities in the field for both the kids and adults alike. The empasis on the kids games will be to encourage all players to show respect to other players, referees, parents and coaches. Other activities will include a parents penalty shoot out, a Giant tug o' war and new for this year a free "King Puck" as well as hurling penalties. This is a free day and all parents are welcome to join in. As there are a lot of parents from various parts of the country we are encouraging all to wear their county colours. A group Photo will be taken on the day and we hope we could see all 32 counties represented in the club.
