Announcement
Our 2010 playing season came to a close with the very successful and enjoyable day in Tymon Park on 26/09/2010. Congratulations to all who took part and well done to the winners, the Pro-Team, led by Christine Kelly, who overcame the Untouchables by 4 runs to 2 in a Final that was an exhibition of Rounders at its best. Winners in the Home Run competitions, Juniors:-: James Dillon, Seniors :-: Darren Goode.
For only the second time in many years we failed to field in all competitions open to us, missing out on the Gary Kelly cup in Derry and a charity blitz in Carlow.
Throughout the season there were many outstanding achievements. Top of the list stands the winning of the under 14 Mixed in Feile and the under 15 boys reaching the All Ireland Community Games final, defeating both the Heath and the might of Wexford in the Leinster finals, (this with only 6 players on the day). The Senior Mixed retained the GAA Commemorative Trophy in Ballon, although having to field with a greatly depleted team, well done to those who stepped up to the plate on the day.
Individually, we had Kayleigh Kavanagh, who was without doubt the most improved player within the club, Darren Goode who turned in a Man of the Series performance on Challenge Cup day. There were many others, too numerous to mention, who worked hard both on and off the field, ensuring that our club survived a most difficult year. The No. 1 spot must go to Elaine Costello, who pitched a record breaking full Championship season without giving up a single walk, deservedly winning an All Star award in the process. Elaine's award was disappointingly the only one bestowed to our players, despite many fine performances by others throughout the Championship.
Financially, like most clubs in these difficult times we are finding it hard to make ends meet. We are grateful for all help and support received in the past and look forward to continued and increased support into the future. Anyone wishing to offer sponsorship, or support, in buying or selling our weekly Lotto tickets, please contact any club or committee member.
Again this year as in many of the recent past, it is hugely disappointing, despite funding having been granted a number of years back and countless promises by S.D.C.C. no progress has been made with regard to the building of our dressing room facilities.
Club wise, in the New Year we hope to see action on our Dressing Rooms, increased support for our Lotto and more players taking part at all levels. We call on our Senior Men to make a special effort to bring the Men's trophy to Limekiln for the 1st. time, come on Lads.
