I have attached a flyer with some details.

Gaelic Football Project Launched in Garngad
19 November 2008

A six week coaching block has started in five schools in the Garngad area of the city.  Our community coach, Dom Roarty, will be working in the schools for four weeks up to Christmas and then for a furter two when the schools return after the hiolidays.  The coaching will culminate in a tournament at a north Glasgow venue.

We have now set up a community club in St.Roch’s secondary, on Saturday mornings, from 11.30am, to 1.00pm, which we hope will lead to an increase in numbers of children from the area becoming involved in the club.  We appreciate the support we are receiving from James Tonner  Sports Development Officer (CRIF) – North for Culture and Sport Glasgow.
