There will be a bus leaving from the club next Saturday at 5pm. Anyone who would like to attend please leave a comment on our facebook page.

Killeavy Ladies Lift Sevens Shield

Congratulations to Killeavy ladies on an impressive day’s football at Crossmaglen 7’s winning the shield final beating Ballyhegan, Crossmaglen, Glenally and Strabane along the way. Well done to Carmel Mallon, Sinead Mallon, Marianne Kernan, Annemarie Murtagh, Sharon Reel, Faye Toner, Shauna Bennett, Laura Murphy, Aileen Matthews, Nicola Cromie, Frances Quinn and Sinead Reel. This is a nice reward for the very early start to training this season and is hopefully the start of a very good year for our Ladies.

Schools Footballers Making Their Mark

Well done to St Pauls squad members, Michael Murphy, Ciaran O’Hanlon(2 points) and Jamie Cosgrove who helped St Pauls to the McLarnon Cup final for the second year in a row, with a commanding 1-13 to 1-6 victory over St Louis Ballymena.

St Colmans players Niall Hollywood and Kealan O’Hare were less fortunate, losing out to St Pats Maghera by two points in the McCrory Cup semi final.

Killeavy definitely back in the Big League A few weeks ago we reported that Killeavy were being provisionally placed in Division 1 of Armagh’s three division restructured leagues. This placing has now been confirmed and we await the announcement of this season’s fixtures with our first league game likely to be on Sunday 1st April.

Membership Matters

Membership is now due and Club registrar Seamus Campbell will be in the Social club on Sunday evenings to accept fees for 2012. Should Seamus not be available, fees can be left in a special box behind the bar. Membership rates are as follows:

  • Adult Membership £30
  • Juvenile Membership (under 18) £10
  • Family Membership £60

Club Killeavy Membership £20 per month We would ask all our members to consider joining Club Killeavy. This covers membership for all the family (worth £60), gives free admittance to all senior home league games (worth £132), a weekly entry in the Killeavy Lotto (worth £52) and a Club Killeavy jacket (£50). More especially, Club Killeavy is providing vital development funds which have already allowed the club to build a new training field and will soon be used to develop new changing rooms and other improvements to our Memorial Park grounds.

Féile

Killeavy will be at home against Pearse Og this weekend coming in the prestigious Feile na nOg tournament. The same two teams met in the u12 championship two years ago with Ogs edging home by a point after a wonderful contest. Hopefully home advantage will give Killeavy the edge this time. The winners of the match will travel to the winners of Tullysaran/Mullaghbawn in the second round.
