Antrim Ladies Success

Congratulations to the Antrim Ladies on their All Ireland  victory against Limerick . It was a tense game for us all to watch and St Ergnat’s Ladies played a valuable part to the team effort on the day . Ciara Mc Coy in goals certainly played a significant part in saving a couple of goal chances which made the difference at the final whistle . Eimear Kelly  was invaluable in defence and together with Aine Mc Elroy , Briget Scullion and Cathy Carey helped Antrim through to victory . Congratulations to all the panel  on their achievement.

Reserve Win Division 6

reserve-modified

It was the last game of the season for the reserve team and also the chance to win the league and gain promotion to Div 5 . Everything to play for and the lads came out with one thing in mind , to win .  It was a well paced game and a display of all round team work but Colm Quinn (midfield) , Sean mc Glinchey (corner back ) , Sean Laverty ( full Back) kept the door closed for the Lisburn forwards as Colm Duffin and Conor Boyd proved to much for the Lisburn defence . The final score 2-16 vs 3-3 , well done lads .

A Chara,

 

CLUB  BRANDING

 

The GAA is celebrating its 125th Anniversary this year and launched its new logo which appears on all its new shirts and correspondence . Clubs throughout Ireland and Ulster have also recognised  this as an opportunity to modernise their clubs badge .

 

St Ergnat’s  celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2008 and now wants ideas on how  to refresh or       modernise its brand  as part of a new marketing strategy   to support   our development plan for  the future . This will appear on all new shirts , newsletters and correspondence .

 

 

We  have three options for our club badge .

 

1.      Do nothing to badge

2.      Modernise , refresh and add to our badge i.e. size , shape ,addition

3    Completely change the badge

 

We want  club members and players to give us your opinion on how you would like to see the above happen , with ideas and sketches  and return them by Tuesday 29th September at the club office between 7.30pm – 8.00pm or to your coach , managers or committee member . Youth players will also have the opportunity to submit their ideas through Millquarter  P.S.  Replies must include you name and contact number on an A4 page . Replies will form the basis of discussion on any future change . 

Forms have been given out to the u6/8/10 and senior/reserve we hope that most families will have a copy and send in at least one reply . The underage girls will be given them at the weekend and we hope to see as many ideas as possible . The more ideas the better so please send in your thoughts in .
