Tomorrow night’s scheduled Ladies’ game at home to Shelbourne F.C. has been postponed because of the bad weather.

On the good news front for the Ladies, it has been announced that the Meath & District League has agreed to launch a Ladies Division in the MDL next April. This follows recent negotiations by the LFAI North East Development Officer Eoin Killackey. It is a very welcome development for the Club & indeed for all local clubs interested in further developing the game for ladies & girls. A winter event is also planned to bridge the gap between the end of the current summer season & the start of the new MDL league in April.

It is also hoped that the NECSL will announce shortly its intention to stage Sevens football for U9 & U11 girls at the MDL Grounds this coming season & in addition eleven-a-side football at U13 & U16 maybe.

The Club is fully committed to these initiatives & looks forward to seeing the proposed structures put into place.

As a result of the dreadful weather recently, the Meath & District League postponed the entire programme of games scheduled for this coming week, including the Club’s Premier Division opener against Square United at Tully Park this afternoon. The same programme of games has been moved back one week when it is hoped that improved weather conditions will see a return to football in the MDL.

The Senior club would like to express their thanks to Adrian Dunne Pharmacy, Market St, Trim for kindly sponsoring the first aid kit for the senior team for the 2008/2009 season.

Despite quite a good showing by the Club Seniors last night against Ardee Celtic at the MDL Grounds, they failed to reach the decider in the Tailteann Cup after a 1-1 draw with the Louth side. Instead Ardee go on to play host side Parkvilla in the final.

Aaron Newman (pictured) was on target for Celtic who again fielded with a much disrupted team for a variety of reasons. Paul Campbell was suspended & David Conway was unfit to line out as a result of his hamstring injury.

Mark Scanlon took charge on the night in the absence of Tony O’Sullivan & Martin Kerr neither of whom could not make the game.

Keep up the good work girls!

The Club’s Senior Team Manager Tony O’Sullivan is faced with the possibility of Player of the Year David Conway missing the start of the new season as a result of a hamstring injury that he picked up last Monday afternoon very early in the Tailteann Cup game against Parkvilla.

David suffered the injury after only a few minutes & must now be doubtful for the big kick off next Sunday week.

As a result of the very heavy rainfall locally, tonight’s Tailteann Cup game between the Club Seniors & Ardee Celtic was postponed to Firday night at the MDL Grounds, kick off 7.30pm.

The Club Seniors kicked-off their Tailteann Cup campaign on Saturday last with a 2-2 draw against LSL side Ratoath Harps. Celtic took a 2-0 lead after 30 mins. The first goal game came from a well worked set-piece which saw Ross Campbell square for Aaron Newman to tap-in his first Senior goal. Within five mins Celtic were two up when Paul Campbell’s header rebounded off the post & Gavin Meehan was on hand to follow-up. Ratoath scored a crucial goal before the break & dominated most off the second half & scored a deserved equaliser on the hour mark. Parkvilla & Ardee Celtic had earlier drawn 1-1.
