Membership:
Last year a record number paid their membership subscription. This year the club is intensifying its effort to increase the membership even further. Membership is compulsory for all players from U/8 up to Senior. Applications for match tickets will only be entertained from paid up members. The club adopted a zero tolerance policy in regards to these matters last year and it paid rich dividends with a surge in membership. The fee for 2007 is; Adult Player €40, Non Playing Adults €20 and juveniles €5. Specially designed club membership cards are now available from any committee member.
