Training sessions
With all our adult teams in football, hurling and ladies football back training and generally coming in after underage coaching sessions, a punctual start and finish to all sessions is now important so that all teams and units get fair access to our pitches. Things have got off to a good start in this regard so it is a matter of continuing to adhere to allocated time slots.

Local winners in the Aodh Ruadh Club Draw
Prizes for the local Aodh Ruadh part of the GAA’s National Draw were drawn tonight in the Fr Tierney Park in Ballyshannon with the assistance of some of the club’s youngest players who played a stormer. In what is a difficult time to sell tickets for anything due to Covid-19 restrictions, the draw raised just over €14,000, the highest figure ever raised locally from this draw, which is a great tribute to all who bought tickets and to those who sold them, a big effort was put in on this one.
Chairman of the Aodh Ruadh Park / Development Committee, Tom Daly, thanked all of the local draw sponsors and everyone who assisted in promoting the draw locally.
"This has brought in over €14,000 and brings sourcing of funding for the new playing surface at the Fr Tierney Park close to €150,000. We are gearing up to start the project next month and in mid-summer will launch a major initiative to help close the remaining funding gap. There is great enthusiasm in the locality and further afield for this project and we want to maintain the momentum and get the job done and paid for," he said.
There are three elements to the draw, local, county and national, so those who supported the draw still have two more chances to win some great prizes as the county and national elements still have to be drawn.
The county draw will take place at the Donegal GAA Centre of Excellence in Convoy tomorrow, Tuesday, and the GAA National Club Draw will take place on Friday 4th June.

Naomh Conaill
Sadly, another club legend has passed away. Our former president Phil, ‘Phildy’ Gallagher. Phil was an ever present at club and county matches. Naomh Conaill was his club and his pride and joy. He loved being President and was a proud man when the Dr Maguire came to the parish, along with any other trophy. Phil was a former assistant secretary and assistant treasurer along with with being a club volunteer and was made an honorary member of the club. His infectious laugh and great sense of humour lifted your spirits anytime you met him and he will be sorely missed around the community. ‘Phildy’ was a former postman and did his job with a smile everyday and his seat at the steps of the clubhouse will be empty now, but his smile and laugh will be an ever present in our minds.
We pass our deepest condolences to his wife Nora; daughters Margaret, Ann, Noreen, Mary T, Kathleen, Breda and Carol; sons Terence, Parick and Philip; grandchildren, great grandchildren, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and all Family and friends

St Michael's
Update Ireland Lights Up
As you are aware we had hoped that the ‘Ireland Lights Up’ walking campaign would start in early 2021 while Operation Transformation aired on RTÉ but due to public health restrictions this popular annual initiative had to be postponed.
Now that Spring has arrived and restrictions are lifting, the Department of Health and Sport Ireland has launched a new walking initiative ‘Keep Walking, Keep Well’ to encourage sports clubs from six National Governing Bodies of sport, including the GAA, to open their gates and continue to support people’s physical and mental health at this time.
From this week onwards St. Michaels has registered to participate in this program for 6 weeks. The only changes there is that anyone wanting to participate registers on the Get Ireland Walking App, which can be downloaded to your I phone or android device, select our county and club, and then fill out your schedule for the next 6 weeks. People can choose their own route or use the Creeslough Pitch if they wish. The walk can be completed on Tuesdays or Thursday evenings between the hours of 6pm - 8pm. However, we are reminded that we need to continue to adhere to the Public Guidelines regarding Covid, not walk in large groups and maintain a 2-metre distance. Attached is the link for the App to download and register. It would be great to get as many as we can to join in on this initiative.

Irelands Fittest Family: Over the past twelve months or so a large number of our members have been involved in various fitness challenges, and perhaps some of our families might want to prove how fit they are by taking on other families in the country.
Ireland's Fittest Family is a competition reality show where families from all over the country compete against each other for the chance to win €15,000 and the title of 'Ireland's Fittest Family' all the while being mentored by a panel of respected coaches, Davy Fitzgerald, Derval O'Rourke, Anna Geary and Donncha O'Callaghan.
It's back for its ninth year and are currently looking for families for the brand new series.
The most recent Donegal family that took part in the show were the Furlong Family coached by Donncha O'Callaghan that featured in Season 6.
This year, RTE are putting the call out again to see if there's another Donegal family that can go further than the Furlongs and bring the title to Donegal.
