Clara GAA Notes
LA NA gCLUB In bright sunshine Clara Club celebrated the 125th anniversary of the GAA at Pairc Phroinsias on Sunday last. A large attendance of all ages participated in a day of fun and games. The clubs wish to thank all who helped in organising the event over the last few weeks and ensured it ran smoothly on the day. A football game between U18 girls and U16 boys was perhaps the highlight of the day with the boys emerging as winners by a narrow margin. An Taoiseach Brian Cowen, Club President, planted a tree on the new grounds and wished the club success in the future. It was a joyful day that is likely to become an annual event on the club calendar.
