Another bad weekend for the Rangers with the junior and u/16 teams both suffering home defeats on Saturday and Sunday. The u/16’s lost 9-1 to Birdhill on Saturday morning with the opposition proving too strong, hard luck lads, keep on working hard. The junior team lost 1-0 to Gortagarry on Sunday in a very evenly matched game and were unlucky not to claim a draw, keep the heads up lads, things will improve.
Last Saturday night saw the launch of our “naked club calendar 2013” in Elsie’s, a great crowd turned up and thanks to all who sponsored the calendar and helped out in any way and also a big thanks to Anna, Damian and Rossi who organised it all.

COMMUNITY ALERT
The ‘Tip of the Week’- is on ‘Heating Oil and Diesel Theft’. The noticeable increase in the theft of home heating oil and diesel should be of concern, most tanks are generally unprotected, unobserved and very easily accessed which leads to stolen oil supplies. It is preferable that the tank is in an area which may be observed by the household or neighbours. It may be screened by hedging, trellis or lighting. Consider installing a motion sensor or sensor lights in the area. Ensure there is a lock on the tank.
BINGO
There is Bingo every Monday in Terryglass Community Hall at 8.30pm sharp organised by the Shannon Rovers GAA Club with great money prizes, including an excellent Jackpot of €1,000.
