Lisa thanked all the managers and coaches for their hard work and commitment throughout what was a challenging year for underage football. She then thanked the people who came on board as Covid Officers. Lisa finished off her report by thanking the players for their commitment and respect that they showed to all the new Covid regulations. David O'Donnell's Chairman’s report followed and underlined Lisa's words and also thanked the club referees, the Park committee and all who helped support Bord na nÓg during 2020. David finished up his report by congratulating Barry Ward and the senior team on winning the Intermediate Championship. Filling the positions of Chairperson, Secretary and Southern Regional Board delegate were postponed, to be filled by the first Monthly Club Executive Meeting of 2021. Packie McGrath, through the Aodh Ruadh Academy, is currently sorting managers for all age groups. Packie submitted a report on the Academy to the meeting. He began by thanking all the sponsors who made it possible. He outlined the importance of each player having their own jersey and football and how them each having their own football helped improve skills throughout the year. Packie said an objective of the Academy was to get more people involved and this was very successful in 2020. The meeting was informed that in 2021 football will be played at odd age groups, i.e. under 5, under 7, under 9, under 11, under 13, under 15 and under 17.
