Competition Update
Our Senior men commence their 2022 championship programme with a home game against Irvinestown this Saturday at 3pm. We are asking for help with stewarding and various arrangements on the day, so if you can help out in anyway, please let me know. Tickets are available to purchase at Fermanagh.gaa.ie/tickets and we would appeal for a strong support for the team. A season pass for all championship games is available at £60.
Our Senior ladies are sitting joint top of Division 1 with a crucial game against Derrygonnelly this Sunday at 10am with the team looking for a win to make the league final.
Our Minor ladies are in action on Thursday evening in Tempo in the Minor Championship Semi Final against Aghadrumsee.
A busy week of action continues with the U17s playing their second game on Sunday at 12pm at home to Derrygonnelly Harps and the U13 boys beginning their league campaign with details still to be confirmed.
Well done to the U13 girls who are through to their section final following a win over Newtownbutler on Monday evening.
Our underage teams have been very, very busy in recent weeks taking part in games, blitzes and trips all over Ireland. A massive thanks to all the coaches and parents that do so much to facilitate these activities and well done to all the children who are representing our club with pride.
Clean-Up
A lot of work has taken place in recent weeks to clean up and to maintain our grounds ahead of this busy period and thanks to all those who have put their shoulder to the wheel to improve things. We always have work needing done if you have an hour or two spare, so let me know if you can help out in any way.
Win a House in Fermanagh
Club Éirne, the fundraising arm of Fermanagh GAA, have launch a fundraising competition with the top prize being a new house worth £300,000 in Enniskillen. Tickets are priced at £100 each and buyers can nominate their club to receive £25 per ticket. We have 300 tickets to sell and all funds raised by Club Éirne will be ringfenced for further enhancements at Lissan to improve training facilties for county teams. If you are interested in buying a ticket (at £100 or in 5 monthly instalments of £20), please let me know. Even better, if you can identify 2 or 3 others that would buy a ticket, please encourage them to do so and I can provide you with hardcopy tickets or they can be bought online at www.winahouseinfermanagh.com.
Cairde Tempo
We are continuing to recruit members to the Cairde Tempo scheme, which is our main way of funding physical improvements within the club. Membership is £20/month and thanks to all those who have joined so far. The winner of the August draw for £100 was Neil & Eilis McGreevy.

The lotto continues to be one of our main fundraisers to cover the day to day running costs of our club. We would encourage you to take part in our weekly lotto and an easy option is to play online.

Congratulations to Paul Fitzpatrick on his recent appointment as Principal of St Mary’s Primary School, Tempo. We cherish the close relationship we have with our local schools and plan to build on that in the time ahead.
