Athea GAA Club Notes:
Sympathy:
Athea GAA club would like to send condolences to the O’Sullivan Family in Lower Athea on the passing of Patie O’Sullivan. Patie was a much loved member of the Athea Community, being a member of many local organisations. He always attended the AGM of Athea GAA Club and was first up every year to pay his membership. He was a massive supporter of all our fundraising draws over the years, often buying multiple tickets to support the club. His nephew Pat is a former secretary of the club, and current county board delegate. Ar Dheis De a raibh a anam.
Minor Championship:
Hard luck to our minor ladies who were knocked out of the championship by a strong Ahane team. It was a high scoring entertaining game with all girls giving their best despite poor weather conditions.

Shannon Gaels/Athea will play Ahane on Tuesday November 19th at Mick Neville Park at 7.30pm in round 2 of the Championship. Tickets – https://limerickgaa.ie/buy-club-championship-tickets/
