Approx 40 clubs out of the 65 within the county attended same & were treated to informative presentations from both Ger & Gobnait which should enable all clubs to perform their officerships more efficiently throughout the season. Gobnait gave a wonderful presentation on every aspect of a club secretary from how to apply for the Accident fund, to transfers & onto club meeting / AGMS & she also wants it noted that all communication via the mobile to her from now on should go through her county board number 085-1100828 & to leave a message on same during School hours. By now all clubs according to rule 100 of the 2009 Official Guide – all clubs should have held their AGM – so if you have yet to forward your club Agm reports in full to Gobnait & a summary of same for printing in the Echo to me , please complete this week .

Sponsorship:

As you may well know Cork ladies Football Board seeks a 2010 sponsor for their Inter county panels. For any Marketing Executives, who members of Ladies Football may know , why not contact our Chairman Brian Enright ( 085-1100827) for a copy of the 2010 Sponsorship Proposal . Cork Ladies Football , as you know is a very marketable commodity which generates media attention from both the Press & TG4 ( & of course this web page) and for any company wanting to expand their promotion outside of local interest to the national market the investment in Cork Ladies Football could be exactly the exposure required. Brian & his sponsorship committee will gladly be available to answer any queries businesses may have regarding how becoming Cork Ladies Football sponsor for 2010 can be of benefit to all.

On The night the girls will be receiving their county and East Cork Medals.

On Sunday last in Fermoy, the Cork senior Ladies Football team played their first league match of 2010 against Dublin. It was a special occasion for the large Bride Rovers following that was present, to witness our own Grace Kearney lining out with the panel for the first time. Grace got the call up to the panel during the week and all of us in the club wish her the very best of luck. Grace has been playing for Cork since she was 13 years and has won numerous underage titles, she has been a great ambassador for her club and is making her own bit of history once again .She was the first club girl to wear an underage Jersey for Cork and many have followed in her footsteps since so lets hope she is setting a precent for Senior football as well.

The scor na bpaisti East Cork final is on this Sunday afternoon in Watergrasshill and we wish all our players taking part the best of luck. Best of luck also to all our club members taking part at the moment in various trials for Cork teams.
