Thanks to everyone for their support so far.

Successful CPR / AED training
We had a great turnout again last week with 38 people attending over the two nights at our CPR / AED course. We'd like to our newly trained potential life savers. Our also thanks to Liam, Mark and Kenny on behalf of the club for giving up their time, and of course, thanks to Chris Kelly for organising the event.

Club membership
We ask all club members to start thinking about submitting their club registration for 2024. This year we are moving to Foireann for processing of club membership. This is the official GAA online platform, and many will have already used it during COVID. To obtain or renew membership online go to foireann.ie, and your membership status will be displayed on the dashboard after you login, with the option to register, if you have not yet paid your membership for 2024. Anyone running into problems with Foireann can contact Lisa McTernan or Louise Larkin for assistance. Alternatively, membership can also be paid to Gerry Ferguson at Ferguson's Jewellers. All players, without exception, must be signed up club members. Non members are not covered by the GAA's injury insurance scheme and cannot line out for the club. Adult members will receive first priority for the club's allocation of All-Ireland final tickets in the event of Donegal contesting the decider. Only adult members registered by 31st March may vote at the club AGM.

Last One Standing
It was another rough week for our Last One Standing competitors with Louth's two point victory over Cork accounting for the majority of the fallers. There's a break in the NFL action, but we'll be back for round three on Saturday, 17th February.

Hurling
Congratulations to all our hurlers who lined out with the County Development teams yesterday. Cian McDonald and the under 20 team were not disappointed after travelling to Breffni Park. They came away winners on a scoreline of 3-12 to 2-5. There was extensive Aodh Ruadh representation on the county 17 team, with no less than ten players. Joe Gibbions, Daithi Sheerin, Lennon Canny, Rory Cullen, Antoin O'Loughlin, Shay Winters, Corey Sheridan, Jun Hui Lin and Liam Doogan all played their part, with an injured Sean Maguire cheering them on from the sideline. They were up against a strong Mayo side, fresh from a big win over Galway last week. They were unsuccessful on the day, but produced a much improved performance on their last outing. The score finished at Mayo 4-22 to Donegal 3-10 with two of the goals netted by Ballyshannon aces, Corey Sheridan and Jun Hui Lin.

Ladies
Well done also to Katie McGowan and Ciara Larkin who lined out for Donegal under 16s against Tyrone as they continued their pre-season build-up in Lifford over the weekend.

The club has organised a CPR / AED course on Thursday, 22nd February for all underage coaches involved in Aodh Ruadh. We are encouraging at least one coach from each age group to register.

To register send Chris Kelly a text at 086-8813553 with your name , phone number, age group are involved with and whether you are you coaching football, hurling, ladies football or camogie.

Ref recruitment

Dinner dance
This year's Aodh Ruadh Dinner Dance must have broken all records with a huge crowd beating a path to Dorrian's Imperial Hotel, where the suave Sean Perry was once again at the helm for evening. Proceedings got underway with the presentations to the 1998 intermediate camogie championship winners. That was then followed by presentations to the 1998 reserve championship winners and senior championship winners. It was a real treat to relive some wonderful memories from a sensational year of success for the club. We then recognised two ladies teams who brought home silverware this year. The junior ladies captured the Division 3 title, while the under 23 ladies defeated Termon in the Division 2 championship decider The evening then moved on to the individual awards section. Young hurler of the year was the stylish and talented Kyle McCaffrey, while mainstay of the senior team Gareth Sheerin marked his progression by claiming hurler of the year award. Síofra Hughes capped a fine season by bagging the under 23 ladies player of the year award. The junior ladies player of the year award went the way of Roisin McGloin, while senior captain Anna Rafferty got the nod as the Tanya O'Shea Dunne senior ladies player of the year winner. The under 21 player of the year was won by a real rising prospect, Aidan Sweeny. Meanwhile the young reserve player of the year went to Darragh Flood Dolan with Eoghan Kelly picking up the young senior player of the year award. Sticky Ward completed his collection of league medals from Division 1 to Division 4 last year, and on Saturday he picked up the reserve player of the year award, after having won the senior player of the year award back in 2011. The Ciaran Keon senior player of the year was won by Cian Dolan, well deserved after a year where he cut a swathe through some of the best midfields the county has to offer. Then came time for the presentation of the Club person of the year award. It is a very prestigious award, recognising a year, and often a lifetime of unstinting work and effort on behalf of the club. The recipient this year was Brian Gillespie, a man who has served Aodh Ruadh in numerous capacities over the past few years. The outgoing reserve manager was caught well and truly on the hop and hopefully the memory will leave a warm glow as he heads to Dubai for the next wee while. We wrapped up the presentations with two big team awards. First up were the Division 4 League winners, who had to battle hard to overcome a determined Pettigo challenge in the final. That was followed by presentation of medals to the senior reserve championship winning team. It was a phenomenal year for the Aodh Ruadh reserves. They stormed through the season just missing out on a place in the league finals. They then went on a charge through the senior reserve championship to claim the title in fine style on county final day against Gaoth Dobhair in MacCumhaill Park. With the night's ceremonials complete it was time for Keltic Kaos to take the stage and supply the music as Aodh Ruadh continued to mark the year past in appropriate style. We have pictures from the evening's festivities up on aodhruadh.org to view now.

Upcoming games in Father Tierney Park
Father Tierney Park is set to host a heavy programme of high-profile games over the next few weeks. Foremost among those is the All-Ireland semi-final of the Hogan Cup which is slated to take place on Sunday 25th February with a 2pm throw in. Omagh CBS and Saint Gerald’s, Castlebar are the sides battling it out for a place in the post-primary schools showpiece final in Croke Park. This game will draw an attendance of thousands to the town. The previous day, Saturday 24th February at 1pm, we will be hosting the All-Ireland Camogie Final of the Post Primary C championship between Saint Mary’s Magherafelt and Convent of Mercy Roscommon. The following weekend the town will see another major influx of supporters as the Park plays host to the NFL Division 1 game between Donegal and Louth on Sunday March 3rd at 2pm.

Stewards Training
Starting at 7.30pm sharp this Friday, 23rd February, Ulster GAA will deliver a training course for Stewards in Aras Aoidh Ruaidh. With important fixtures coming up in Father Tierney Park members available to assist with the running of games are encouraged to come along. This will act as a refresher for those who previously undertook this training and an opportunity for others to become involved. Please text or WhatsApp John Larkin on 086-1076883 before Tuesday evening to confirm attendance. This training is open to all members aged over 17 and we are keen to have good participation from both male and female members.

After two opening weeks which took a big toll, those still standing mostly managed to make it through week three of the Last Man Standing competition. Only a handful of players exited as a result of Galway's gritty win over Tyrone in Omagh.

Bingo
We had a fabulous night of prizes at last Tuesday's bingo on 13th February. Ann Patterson had the biggest smile leaving to take home the €500 Jackpot checking on just 39 numbers, following up her €50 double line check on the same game!

CPR / AED training
Huge thanks to everyone who attended the CPR/AED course last Thursday. We had a fantastic turn out over the three nights with 51 people attending from the club and local Ballyshannon businesses.

Please keep an eye on Aodh Ruadh CLG Face page, club notes and the Ballyshannon Business chamber Facebook page as the club will be organising more courses over the summer.
