The club have been requested to provide two stewards for the upcoming Donegal v Tyrone match in Ballybofey. Training for stewarding will take place in Ballybofey on Monday 22nd and Monday 29th April with a third date to be decided. .

Naomh Colmcille has been asked to host a visiting team for the Feile Peile na nOg (for u14s) taking place in Derry from 28-30 June. This would involve local families hosting a minimum of two visiting players. If we have sufficient host families to look after the visiting club, Naomh Colmcille would participate in the Feile competition itself, and this would involve us playing the visiting club at Pairc Colmcille, and then other matches at Derry venues. If you are willing to act as a host family please contact Paul Callaghan (0876843608) as soon as possible.

Well done to William Gillespie and his Donegal u21 team-mates on their excellent Uster Championship campaign. Unfortunately the result in the final against Cavan didn’t go as we would have hoped.
