Juvenile teams in 2013: We will have our own U12 team this year and we will be joining with Newport in U14 and U16. Our thanks to Newport for accommodating our players.

Best wishes: To Tommy and Brenda Kelly on the birth of their new baby girl. Best of luck to Tommy who is transferring from our club. Tommy has been a great servant to the club both on and off the field and it was a fitting reward to the very popular player that he captained our junior C's in his last match to our first Junior C hurling title. Also best wishes to Alan Kelly who is transferring from the club also, he consistently performed at a high level in both hurling and football for the club and made big sacrifices to remain playing with the club for the past few years. Alan represented our club at county level playing for Tipperary at intermediate level. We are disappointed to lose both players from a strong GAA supporting family in the parish and wish them well in their new clubs.

Affiliations: For 2013 we are affiliated in the following grades - Hurling: Intermediate, Junior 'B', U21 'B', Minor 'B' (as Newport Gaels) and in Football: Junior 'A', U21 'B', Minor 'A' (as Newport Gaels).

Lotto: There was no winner of last week's (30th Dec) lotto jackpot of €1,850. The numbers drawn were 13, 19, 21 and 26.

Sympathies: The club wishes to extend our sympathies to the O'Brien family (Killeen) on the death of Anastasia. May she rest in peace.
