transferred to the club and hope he enjoys his time playing for the Rovers; we are delighted to have him on

board. Below is a picture of the lads that attended. Remember to keep practicing at home; this is what makes the

difference.

The club uses the ‘WhatsApp’ smart phone text

messaging application to communication information on

fixtures/meetings/club news etc to its members. This is a

free service & an excellent way to keep up to date with

events within the club. If anybody wishes to join the

texting group they just need to send a text message to

the club secretary on 353 (85) 7038198 & ask to join the

Valley Rovers group. The group is a closed group so

communication is one way only & no personal contact

facilitating the Senior team with some spinning classes

as part of their Pre-season training program. Well done

Girls!

Reminder: This Thursday

There will be an important Camogie club meeting on the

Thursday 17th January

in Barrett’s Lounge Innishannon

at 8pm

This Meeting will finalise the committee positions & set

out the club pathway for 2019.

We encourage all existing players, coaches, & parents of

each Juvenile player to attend this meeting & be part of

the club development as we look to further build on all

aspects of the club & make it a central part of the wider

Valley Rovers community.

We welcome and would be delighted to see new

members attend and be a part of the club.

It’s a fantastic way to get to know people in the parish

and feel part of the community. Remember you don’t

need to be a player or have a daughter playing to be a

member!

Hope to see you there!
