Ballymacelligott GAA club notes Sunday 13th November 2022
By Joanne Long PRO
An evening with Ronan O Gara
After a hectic build up, it certainly was an evening to remember for a while to come. We had an excellent evening in the company of Ronan, Mc… Tony Leen and special guests Mick Galwey, Jack O’Connor and Ciara Griffin. It didn’t matter which sport was one’s fancy, Rog gave a brilliant insight into his sporting career to date, parting with nuggets of information for any player or coach with a ‘growth mindset’ as he put it. All present could have stayed and listened for another two hours to the top table… No more to be said!!!
None of this would have been possible without our organising team of Mike Sweeney, Kieran Savage, Bernard Cassidy, Sean Hennessey and Tony Leen along with the support and guidance of Padraig and his wonderful team in Ballygarry Estate, Hotel and Spa.
We would like to sincerely thank our sponsors and would encourage our members to support where ever is possible.

Play Ball Lotto News and Results 7/11/22
The Lotto Committee wishes to thank our Senior Players and Management for their hard work and commitment all year. We had a fantastic year following you. Sunday was disappointing. It does not take anything away from the excitement and enjoyment we got all year from following you in Division 1 of the County League. Retaining Division 1 Status was great for the club. We thank all the Club Supporters that support our lotto and purchased tickets all year at our home games. Míle Buíochas.
