ROCKWELL ROVERS LADIES FOOTBALL
held their AGM on Thursday November 30. Thanks to all who attended and contributed to making the club the success that it is. Congrats to newly appointed Chairman Colm Quinn, Secretary Margaret Burke, Treasurer Mary Flynn and PRO Maree Heaney. Thanks to outgoing officers Colm Heaney, Martina Durkan, Ken Collins and Tadhg Mohally as they step back but not away for all their dedication to the club since the establishment of the club in 2018. It has been a very exciting year for the club with the formation of our Junior Ladies team who reached a County Final in their first year. Also, to the u14’s in their County Final Division B success, a thrilling match to the final whistle. Our u19 ladies topped off the season with a magnificent County final win on November 19 over Rockvale Rovers. Well done to Colm Heaney, Kieran Durkan, Ciaran McGrath, Julie Hennessy and Mary Collins and to these amazing group of players and parents on this fantastic achievement. This being our first year entering the u19 competition, it’s a phenomenal recognition of the hard work being done in the club and this year in particular the girls are reaping the benefits of Padraig O Connor (S&C).
Wishing all our members a peaceful, healthy and happy Christmas and we are all looking forward to a prosperous fun-filled 2024.
