GAA

Thank You: Bruree GAA would like to thank everyone for their generosity to last weekend’s church gate collection. Your continued support is greatly appreciated by all those involved with the club.
Players Development Fund: Bruree GAA is holding its Player Development Fund annual draw again this year. The 2009 draw has €1,000 in cash as a first prize in each of four weekly draws. There will also be one prize of €200 and three of €100 for each draw. And the good news is that the subscription is still the same - just €20 for the four draws. The first draw will be held on Monday, November 30th, with the other draws on subsequent Monday nights. Contact any member of Bruree GAA to join the draw.
The next committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 11th, at 9.30 pm at the Central Bar. Any full draw cards with money can be returned on that night.

Owen Carey, Jonathan Fitzpatrick, David O’Connell, Gearoid McCarthy and Sean Quirke from our Under 10s and Tommy Cronnolly, Dara O’Driscoll, Shane Hannon, Edward Moore and Brian Sexton from our Under 11s attended the academies and blitz.
