Our 2013 AGM was held on Sunday evening, 15th December in Kildangan Hall. A large attendance heard details of the season past and the plans in place for 2014.
Club secretary Maureen Fitzgerald opened proceedings by reading her report detailing the happenings of 2013. In what was a comprehensive report, highlights included a good championship run for the senior team following a disappointing league. Maureen reported on the many fundraising activities, including the three legged race, field day, table quiz, 5K and 10K, a number of hunt chases and the pigeon house lotto.
The treasurer reported on the financial situation in the club which remains healthy, despite the challenging economic situation. A vote of thanks was passed from the floor in recognition of the hard work done by Fiona since the foundation of the club in 2001.
Chairman Gabriel Murtagh opened his address by highlighting the tremendous effort put in by the senior players and management in 2013. The chairman recognised the important role played by the management team of John Scanlon and Davy Anderson and welcomed the fact that they have agreed to manage the team again in 2014.
The Chairman stated that 2013 had been a successful year at juvenile level as the team had fielded in all competitions from under 21 down, with the exception of our under 15s. He recognised the Under 16s for their exciting win in the Shield completion, where they overcame a strong Carbury challenge to emerge victorious. Regarding ladies football, the chairman congratulated Kildangan Nurney senior ladies, who won the league.
Our underage numbers remain strong, highlighted by the fact that the Cúl camp numbers again exceeded 100.
