More Updates.

A huge congratulations to our ladies team who beat Malmo in their first competitive game two weeks ago!! Big thanks to all the ladies and to Declan & Daniel for helping with the organisation and being referee It is very much appreciated.

Also, well done to the four lads who competed in Oslo on the same day. We secured vital championship points which could be critical towards season end.

Last but not least, a big farewell to Catherine Hayes who returns to Ireland for 6 months on work placement. Catherine defines the spirit of the club with her drive and energy and she was hugely influential in not only recruiting members but contributed massively to our hugely successful Irish night and other fundraisers. See you soon Catherine and have a great time in Ireland !!!

The following people need to let me know as soon as possible whether they are travelling or not 
Therese Nordberg / Maria / Delia / Nika / Stephen Gorman / Patrik / Mehdi/ Dan Erik / Patrik Karlsson/ Magnus .

Of course, if I've let any of the newcomers out, please pass on the request as to their intentions to travel. Even based on the above numbers, this looks like one of the strongest panels we'll have ever assembled at a tournament. Absolutely brilliant stuff..

Based on the above numbers, I've made a request for accomodation at Rut och Ragnars hostel on Spannehusvagen 77. We have stayed there before and the prices are reasonable and its fine and basic. I've made a provisional request for 16 people staying 2 nights so if your plans are different, please let me know soonest.

As for transport down, it looks like we may need drivers to volunteer but we ll know more as the numbers get confirmed.!!

Let 's get it on !!!!

Gothenburg GAA Newsletter June 2012

Hello all and welcome to the June edition of Gothenburg GAA newsletter.

Training

June 19th is the last confirmed training session in Kviberg.This is mainly due to the fact that we d'ont and c'ant have it booked after June 19th.Of course, other sessions can be organised during July in Slottskogen but space is at a premium there and also after this weekend,midsummer and vacation kicks in so people may not be about.Training recommences for ladies and men on Tuesday 31st July.As the girls traim as well on Thursdays, itll be good to keep something going in july so they re right and ready for August tournaments.


Friendlies & Tournaments

On 30 th June ,Gothenburg GAA ladies will play their first ever friendly against Malmo GAA ladies at Kviberg at 1pm.Your support on this day for them is greatly appreciated.Unfortunately, it falls on the same day that our mens team compete in the 2nd round of the Nordic championship with the boys visting Oslo for the 1st time.We need some help with the following :

-- will someone from the guys team who isnt travelling to Oslo but staying in Gothenburg please act as mentor and trainer to the girls? They deserve to have someone on the sidelines.Both their trainers ( im in the States and Paul is in Oslo) are away and the girls have been putting in a tremendous amount of work this year.

--- we have use of the pitch but if someone could adapt the smaller soccer goals up there by just adding some wooden goalposts on the Friday night or the Saturday morning ? Otherwise, theyll just have to play into the soccer goals or adapt the Aussie posts which is far more work ?

--- Mia said she can organise kit for the ladies on the day but if anyone can get kit , please advise Mia so we are not left with any kit ?

Food will be served later in the Lokal off Drottninggatan after the match so please contact Mia for details .


Also, for the boys.If ye are intending travelling to Oslo , please advise myself or Paul Curley immediately.Paul is trying to organise accomodation in Oslo at a reasonable price but needs numbers.So far the people confirmed for travelling and staying one night are Moises,Ossian,Paul,Paul 's brother,friend of Paul.Magnus ( new guy ) is 50% sure of going and Niall is going subject to injury progression.David Burke and Keith Creamer are intending to travel and return same day.if we are short we'll be borrowing players from Oslo.A huge thank you to all who are going as I know how much of a commitment it is.Also, for any new people going, we need your personal details so they can be registered on the GAA system for registration purposes.
