The club would like to thank Mags Murphy for her outstanding work she has done with the ladies committee and as chairperson of the ladies committee.A huge thanks to Stephen and Ciara Nugent,Lisa Finglas and Ronan Philips for their hard work and commitment with our minor ladies.
A special note of thanks to the ‘Godfather’ of the Ladies Mags MURPHY nee Phillips who is taking a well earned break from the chair but we haven’t let her off the committee! Our ladies club started in 1999 and it wasn’t easy to get going. There were many obstacles that had to be overcome but Mags and her band of followers knew that this was something important for our community and was needed to bring great football, friendships and memories for our ladies. Throughout the years of growth no woman or child was safe from a call up to the team to get 15 on the pitch but the fruits have come good over the last number of years with underage and ladies teams that are competing at the highest levels in Louth with county representation across all ages. Along with the commitment to the ladies club on and off the pitch, Mags was also secretary of the mens and is a great source of knowledge on anything GAA. We appreciate all your hard work Mags as now we have a ladies club that is growing from strength to strength due to your commitment and enthusiasm. Now you get to come down to the field with a new sense of freedom. GO RAIBH MÍLE MAITH AGAT.

Naomh Fionnbarra G.F.C.
The 60th AGM of Naomh Fionnbarra G.F.C. was held in Dillonstown School on Monday 23rd November at 8pm. The meeting was well attended from all levels of the club. Colm Markey the outgoing Chairman thanked all those who helped the club throughout the year in all aspects of the club including players, supporters, mentors and committee members. He also thanked anyone who provided sponsorship to the club over the course of the year. Thomas McQuillan and Brenda Flynn gave detailed secretary and treasurer reports. The Juvenile report by Brendan Healy highlighted a great year for the club while Mark McArdle and Joe O’Reilly provided updates in relation to Develiopment and Finance. Items such as Club Membership, Fundraising, Adult & Juvenile Football, Finances and Club Development were discussed on the Agenda.
The 2016 year was successful both on and off the field. Whilst the Intermediate team were not hugely successful they reached the Quarter Final of the Championship losing out to eventual winners St. Josephs and retained their status in Division 2 with a vital win over Roche Emmets in the relagation play off. The adult men’s teams will play in the Intermediate Championship, in the Division 2 League, in the Paddy Sheelan Cup and in the Division 4 League in 2017.
The juvenile section of the club catered for age groups from U-8 to U-18. Every Thursday evening throughout the year John Markey Park in Ballygassan was full of young players practising their gaelic football skills. 2016 was quite a progressive year as all players developed their potential further. The main highlights of the year on the field included capturing the U-16 “B” Championship and U-18 Division 3 League and being Runners Up in the; Minor “B” Championship, U-16 Division 3 League, U-15 Division 3 League, U-14 “B” Championship and Division 3 League and U-13 Division 3 League. There is great potential amongst many of the players within our minor crop and hopefully they can progress onto the senior team in the coming years.
The Ladies team had mixed success throughout the year as they competed in the Intermediate League and Championship. Congratulations to Naomh Fionnbarra/Dreadnots U-16 girls who beat St. Feckins in the U-16 B Championship Shield Final on Friday 19th August in Drogheda. Well done girls! Naomh Fionnbarra/Dreadnots U-14 girls who lost to Glen Emmets in the U-14 championship semi final on Monday 15th August in Tullyallen. The U-14 girls also lost the league semi final to Newtown Blues.
Colm McCullough represented the club as a referree for the second year.
The club would also like to congratulate all of our playing members who represented Louth with pride at county level in various age groups from juvenile to the Junior team.
The club would also like to congratulate St. Annes camogie club on the progress that they made this year.
Off the field significant milestones were reached with the initial phase of development of the new training field at John Markey Park, the upgrading work around the existing field which included the walking/running track, upgraded training lights along with lighting for the track, the continuation of the “Club Barrs 2015-2017” membership scheme and the successful Strictly Come Dancing event which was the club’s main fundraiser for the year. Without doubt the club has ambitious plans for the ground development in the near future which will benefit the whole community and we look forward to progressing these plans further in 2016. The club are especially grateful to all volunteers, Lotto collectors, sponsors, donors and any other benefactors who have helped us throughout the year in these areas.
