Tourmakeady GAA News
Tourmakeady GAA Club won no major honours in 1992 but had a very active year of continuous football from early March until October. They survived in Division Three of the Mayo League but had a very bad run in the championship. Perhaps a little more dedication from the younger players of our parish would have made a difference.
Tom Heneghan had a very good season for the club in the black and white, he hasn't looked back since having won the All-Ireland Comortas Peile na Gaeltachta in 1972. Nice record and still going strong. Young Jack O Shea may pass him one of the days!
Underage footballers had a great year, reaching all the knockout stages of the championship. Maybe a we bit more parent involvement would be more appreciated. Support is vital to our younger players.
Tourmakeady had a super race night at Easter - a record success. Féile Tuar Mhic Eadaigh was the best in years with two major competitions. Lot of fun and buckets of rain! Last year Lawrence's of Manchester brought an international flavour to the proceeding, may more in 1993.
Best idea in years was the holding of the annual dinner dance in our own local hall. it was a night of nights and again is earmarked for December 27th. Another super show lined up so get your ticket now.
Officers for the coming year: President, John Callan; Chairman, Tommie Henehgan; Secretary, Padraig De Burca; Treasurer, Sean Seoighe; P.R.O. John Heneghan.
