Match:

Wednesday October 26: U21:

Athea/Mountcollins Rangers 0-12         

Dromcollogher/Broadford 2-06

Athea/Mountcollins Rangers U21s kept their unbeaten run in the West U21 A football championship with a well earned draw against Dromcollogher/Broadford in Mick Neville Park on Wednesday evening last. Jonathan Fitzgerald opened the scoring with a well taken point after two minutes but shortly afterwards the sides were level when the opposition scored a point of their own. The very energetic Sean Ryan scored two wonderful points but once again Dromcollogher/Broadford came back to square the match. Stephen Cahill was in fine scoring form again and scored three points on the trot for Rangers. Just before half time Dromcollogher/Broadford scored a goal and a point to leave the score Athea/Mountcollins Rangers 0-06, Dromcollogher/Broadford 1-04. A pointed free from Stephen Cahill after James Ryan had been fouled two minutes into the second half had the sides all square again. Dromcollogher/Broadford rocked us when they scored a goal and a point but a point each from James Ryan and Dylan Griffin brought us back into the game. The opposition got their last score of the game when they scored a point with twenty minutes left on the clock. We dominated the rest of the match but found scores hard to come by and it was three points from Stephen Cahill that earned us a draw.

Once again there was a large crowd at our card game in Brown Joe’s bar on Monday night last. The winners with fourteen games were Fr. Duggan, John Hunt and James O’Connor. Runners up on thirteen games were Betty Cotter, Ann Scanlon and Julie O’Connor. The winners of the table prize were Jack O’ Connor (Snr), David O’Connor and Jack O’Connor (Jnr). The raffle prize winners were Fr.  Duggan, Margaret O’Connor and Christina O’Donoghue. Many thanks to all those who supported our card game and we would be hoping to see you all again next week at Brown Joe’s Bar at 9pm sharp. All card players are more than welcome and we will hopefully see a few new faces. This is part of the clubs fundraising for the pitch development which to date has cost €130,000. All monies raised will go towards reducing the debt of the pitch development.

Lip Sync Battle:

Plans are at an advanced stage for our ‘Lip Sync Battle’ Fundraiser on February 4th at Devon Inn Hotel. Many acts have now confirmed their participation – a decision they most definitely will not regret. We are now appealing to the generous business community or indeed any generous individuals of West Limerick /North Kerry to act as main sponsors for the event. In return for €1000 in sponsorship we will offer:

Your business logo placed on all posters (100), tickets (600), roadside posters (10) & sponsorship cards (55)
Your business logo will also appear on all YouTube clips which will be published online throughout the rehearsal process and post-performance.

Your business will be mentioned on all press releases and will also be prominently displayed on the night.
Your business will also be frequently mentioned on our facebook page ‘Athea Gaa Lip Sync Fundraiser’ which currently has 1875 friends and continues to receives friend requests daily.
Our twitter page @AtheaGAA which currently has 440 followers will feature your business name
Our new look website will feature your business name and logowww.atheagaa.net
A DVD will also be recorded on the night which all main sponsors will feature in. This will ensure that long after the event is over, your business will continue to be advertised.
We very much hope to make our main sponsors a part of the event on the night so as an added bonus; we will also offer a VIP package which will include two complimentary tickets, front row seating and a complimentary DVD of the night.

As we prepare to enter the following phases of our development project, which includes the erection of a fence, flood lighting and a walking track, we are now offering an exciting and very new sponsorship opportunity.

Please send us a message on this or contact any member of the committee for more information.
