The Club would like to express sincere sympathy to the family of Hugh O’Brien who died last week. Also to the family of Kitty Harty formerly of Waterloo Cottage, Kilcommon, whose remains, were returned to Cahir cemetery for burial last week. The Harty family were very involved in Cahir GAA back in the 1940s. May they rest in peace?

The Club would like to congratulate Cahir Ladies football Club on celebrating 25 very successful years at a function in Cahir House Hotel on Friday night last. Hopefully the Club will continue to go from strength to strength.

Our under 21 Football team is due to start its championship next weekend. Training continues on Friday nights.

The jackpot is now €4,600 and the next draw is on Sunday night in The Hill Inn. Thanks to everyone for your support.
