Ah here. Now I should be talking about a Santa visit in a fire brigade, a big stash of selection boxes and a married versus singles game to work off the Christmas dinner. Of course, I'm afraid not. But chin up, eh? We're out of level 5, and there may be a vaccine around the corner. Could we have normality on the horizon? I sincerely hope so.
A couple of reasons to ask for your help, so read on. Thanks for bearing with me through the last few bleak months.
if you want something included in the club notes, all you have to do is drop me a mail at pro@stvincentsgaa.ie.

I see RTÉ allowed the soccer correspondent put up the schedule:

The Ladies Footballers played a cracking tight game against Armagh last weekend. Winning on a scoreline of 3-13 to 3-08, the Jackies have successfully booked their place in this years finals. They'll take on the winners of Cork vs Galway in their quest for a 4-in-a-row.
Last on the inter-county front: Good news for the U20 team; Their All Ireland decider will now be fixed as the curtain raised for the All Ireland Final. They take on Galway and game will throw in on 19th December at 2:30pm in Croke Park. Here's hoping RTÉ choose to cover this too,.

A reminder that this year's charity partner is Inner City Helping Homeless. Unfortunately we cannot do a donation drive like in previous years so we ask members to consider doing an online donation to the ICHH instead.
Donations can be made direct to ICHH here
Example of what your donation will cover:
- €15 - will fund outreach support for one rough sleeper
- €30 - will fund outreach support for two rough sleepers
- €50 - will fund emergency day service support
Your donations will go a long way, no matter how big or small.

We've had a number of incidences of dumpng in the club, most recently at the entrance to the club. Members are asked to keep a keen eye out, and to report any incidences of dumping you witness. You gotta wonder about the mentality of someone who dumps in the club. Do they just expect people to clean up after them? Sheesh.
