HELLO...Hello...hello. ECHO...Echo..echo. Oh. You're there are you? Lovely to say hello again. Welcome to 2021. I've refrained from re-starting the club notes throughout January as alas there wasn't a lot to talk about, what with the aul pandemic and closed club and whatnot. But, a few things have started stirring, so best to fill you all in. Even the social channels ( Instagram, Twitter and Facebook) have been quiet, but here's hoping we'll have more to talk about soon.
if you want something included in the club notes, all you have to do is drop me a mail at pro@stvincentsgaa.ie.

History in the making: Our first adult ladies football team
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
I was delighted to be able to announce this on social media. 2021 is the year we're fielding our first adult ladies team. The orignal release said it well enough, so I reproduce it here:
We are pleased to announce that 2021 will be the year in which St Vincents GAA established it's first adult ladies gaelic football team.
Speaking on this occasion, Chairman Conor Dignam said
"We introduced ladies football at under 11 and that team has come up through the grades. They are now becoming Naomh Uinsionn's first adult ladies football squad, paving the way for all future Vincents footballers. As a club we're looking forward to our new team competing and adding to the Marino and Vincents tradition of success both on and off the pitch. We're delighted for those who put in the years and will now be making history for the club."
The team will be managed by Robbie Hughes, who previously managed juvenile ladies teams, and Brendan Adamson, who managed and mentored at both juvenile and intermediate levels with our mens teams.
Ladies football director Niamh Adamson is hopeful of encouraging more dual players too: "St Vincents has a very successful camogie section, and we've been working with our camogie colleagues to learn valuable lessons from their successes. Both sections are committed to encouraging dual participation."
The team are actively recruiting, so if you're aged over 18 and have considered playing football, please get in touch at adultladiesfootball@stvincentsgaa.ie

Juveniles take on #FitnessFebruary
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
A great initiative from our GPO, Emma Byrne; It's simple but gets the children back thinking about training:
To take part:
1. Keep a note of any training or exercise you do.
2. Also note when you eat healthy
3. And, make sure you get a good nights sleep!
Parents and Gaurdians:
Each Sunday fill our your child's weekly progress at here.
Points will be awarded based on responses and the leader board published each Monday. Plenty of people got involved and the first week shows the girls teams are leading the charge. Lads: You'll have to step up!

Club Grounds Remain Closed
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
We've put out a number of messages to state that the club grounds are closed, and pitches are unavailable for use, be that even for individual traiing. Whilst the vast majority of members have respected this, a number of people have continued to use the pitches. If you're reading this and thinking
'they don't mean me'
'what harm can I be doing on my own?'
'it's just 20 minutes'
'I'm only doing a light run'
'Sure where else can the dogs have a run around?'
Please, think again. Our grounds remain closed and do so for a number of reasons including government and GAA directives. If you flout this request, think of the message you are sending to all those who have remained respectful to the current situation we find ourselves in.
Also please note that this message also refers to the MIE facility; We have had a number of complaints from MIE that their pitches are being used by St Vincents members.

At a recent, (when we were allowed!) visit to my mother she got to asking me about the club. "Whats the name of that club again?" she asked. (To be fair, she's in her 80s). "St Vincents" I explained.
"Let me show you something" she said and off she trotted up the stairs, returning with a trophy.
