A number of focus group sessions covering Coaching and Games Development, Communications, Club Structures and Administration, Finance and Fundraising, Facilities and Development, Culture and Scór, will be held to gauge the opinions of club members and supporters on devising a five year plan which will map out the future direction of the club. Everyone from all areas of the club, including past and present players and members, and the parents of current players, are encouraged to come along to this important event and have their say on how the future of St. Enda’s is shaped.
Jubilee team – One of the highlights of last Sunday’s county finals was the presentation of our 1988 senior championship winning team as the jubilee team of the year. Many of the senior team who defeated Clonoe in the decider 25 years ago were there to receive a special commemorative medal from county chairman, Ciaran McLaughlin in front of a 7,000-plus crowd. The club plan to stage a further reunion for the teams of 1988 plus the 1963 senior team which also won the championship 50 years ago. A date will be announced shortly.
