Works on our Club and Community Car Park at Final Stages
Ground works are now complete on this project and this week we open the gates to surfacing crews who will put the finishing touches to what will be a long-awaited fit for purpose car park serving the club and community. To facilitate the works, the club grounds are closed for all activity until Thursday. Thanks to everyone for getting behind this project.
Déise Draw Tickets
All those associated in anyway with Deuglán Naofa will note the vast activity in the club in the last twelve months. New peripheral fencing, initiatives under healthy club, new training tops for the juvenile players and gear for the adults, and of course the car park project. There has been significant outlay to cover all of this and to fund the normal day to day running costs. We also have other works in the pipeline as set out in the Club Plan. Please support our club by purchasing a Déise Draw ticket! With €63 from each sale staying with the club, there’s no better way to pledge your support.
Signage Sponsorship
We are delighted to say there is significant support for Deuglán Naofa’s signage sponsorship campaign with Phase 1 now near completion. The proposal provides a great opportunity to local businesses and businesses with a connection to Ardmore to erect signage at the side of the pitch for which they will pay an annual sponsorship amount to the club, in line with the package they choose. There are three options available and we hope to fill the remaining spots as soon as possible. Anyone businesses interested should contact Henry Murphy on 086-8536512.

At the time of writing we await the result of the above. Best of luck to Mike Murray and his charges in this final being played in Colligan against Ballydurn. Here’s hoping for the first big win of the season!
Juvenile Update
Well done to our U8 panel who played in the all-county U8 football blitz in Kilrossanty on Saturday. They played, Lismore, St. Mary's East and Stradbally and acquitted themselves very well in three competitive games. Thanks to the county GDA's for organising and Kilrossanty for hosting.
The U11s took place in 2 game fixture in Abbeyside last Monday and the boys played with great marking and skill throughout.
The U12s played Clonea G last Sunday morning and despite playing really well in the second half were behind at the whistle.

Camogie Under 12
Our Under 12 team travelled to Clonea last Thursday to play their next league match. It was a very tough game and our girls displayed great skill and really worked hard together as a team. There was very little between the two teams at the final whistle. It’s back to the training pitch now to prepare for their next game.
Camogie Under 14
Our Under 14s will take on Ballyduff Lower away this Tuesday, throw in is at 6.30pm.
Camogie Under 16
The Under 16 team took on Ballyduff Upper last Thursday in a home game and got off to a blistering start clocking up some great early scores. Our g
oalie and backline worked tirelessly to hold off the Ballyduff attack keeping their scores to a minimum. Our midfield pairing worked extremely hard and provided the forwards with quality passes resulting in some exceptional scores up front. When the final whistle blew, we proved convincing winners on a scoreline of 8.18 to 2.4.
