AIMS FOR SEASON

At the start of the saeson the main aim of the club would have being to win the league but a poor start has probably put that out of our reach ,At this stage a mid table finish is more a relistic goal.Hopefully we can get a good run in one of the cups,we had a lot of success over the last few years in the AOH getting to a number of finals and winning one .Having said that a run in any of the cups would be a bonus.The B team also would love to bring home the County Cup once more,Having won this cup on a few occasions as a player John O’Sullivan would now love to manage a winning team, a league and cup double would go down ok.

LONG TERM

Long term the club would love to develop more playing areas The schoolboys section now have a good structure and hopefully soon we will be able to see players coming through to the junior club every year.At the moment the F.A.I. junior cup is probably beyond us but with a bit more hard work and with the players coming through from the schoolboys its not beyond possibility.
