4. The secretary of the GAA Club must sign the form and attach a reference letter supporting the applicant’s application before returning it to the Co Rúnaí. Please note the club recommending the successful applicant will be contributing €75 to the scholarship along with the Division, Co Board and Munster Council.
5. Interviews for the scholarships will be held in Lár na Páirce around the end of February to establish each candidate’s suitability.

An athletic talented young man who has grown into a very exciting prospect and his future is bright so keep up the good work Ryan.

We also congratulate all the other category winners and nominees with all winners and nominees having strong links to the Gaa club.

With the gradings finally decided the Fethard boys will compete in the following competitions in 2018.

Our U12s this year have three teams entered and will compete at U12A,C &D in both Football and Hurling another example of the growing interest in Gaa and the work being done in the schools and on the ground in Fethard.
Our U14 team will compete at B grade in both Football and Hurling for 2018.
At U16 level the amalgamation of Fethard and St Pats under the banner of AnnerGaels will compete at B grade in both Football and Hurling.

As Chairman of the Fethard Juvenile Club I would like to wish all management teams and players every success for 2018 and would ask parents to fully support both mentors and players throughout the year. All these mentors are volunteers that give up their time and energies to look after your children in some cases for many years and do so for the development of the kids and the club .

Finally I’d like to congratulate one of our players Micheal Quinnlan who has excelled at Hurling and Football for Fethard since he started and now has been signed to play soccer with Wexford boys soccer in the League of Ireland a great achievement.
