Glinsk Gaa club AGM was held in the school hall last Sunday evening. A large crowd attended the meeting, which was very well presented by club secretary Damien Brennan, with additional reports by Chairman Tommy Kenny and Treasurer Eamon Hegarty.

2025 was a fruitful year both on and off the playing field. The adult team made it to the North board Junior A final but couldnt retain the title they won in 2024 , losing out by 2 points on the day. Northern Gaels underage amalgamation continues to provide football for the children in our club and it was another succesful year. Credit to all the coaches that give up so much of thier time.

Club chairman Tommy Kenny offered condolences to those who lost loved ones during the year. Larry Cunnigham then announced he has donated a trophy to the county board in memory of his son Gerard, a very nice touch by larry.

Junior A team manager Stephen Brennan has decided to step down from the position after 6 years in the job. Chairman Tommy kenny offered his thanks and the thanks of the club to stephen for everyting he has done for the team over the years and he mentioned in particular stephens commitment to bringing through the youth players.
