G.A.A.

Baile an Chaisil clg would like to take this opportunity to thank all who helped throughout the year with County Board tickets, bag packing, card game, race night, local businesses who helped out in any way. Without your help and commitment the club could not function. On the pitch the team have been unlucky in a lot of games, losing by the odd point or two in championship and league so we look forward with confidence to next season. Off the pitch the committee are working hard on the club development plan and hope to have it complete before Christmas. Also a reminder that the local St Stephens game between East and West will take place St. Stephens day (time to follow). Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit. Baile An Chaisil abu.
