We are pleased to announce that our annual Golf Classic will take place on Thursday June the 28th at Youghal Golf Club.

C.L.C.G. Eochaill in conjunction with Youghal Camogie and Youghal Ladies Football Club cater for well in excess of 600 players from under 5 upwards.   Without your continued support for the Golf Classic as well as other events we undertake in the Club we would be unable to cater for the very large numbers we currently have. Our facilities are state of the art and are a credit to the people of Youghal who contribute in no small manner to their further development and upkeep.

The cost for this Year’s Golf Classic is €150 for a three person team which will also include a meal at the Golf Club House and sponsorship of Tee Boxes are also available for only €50 each.

We look forward to welcoming you on the Day and wish you an enjoyable Day’s Golfing at Youghal Golf Club. I will contact you shortly to confirm if you would like to participate in this year’s event and your tee time or sponsorship.

Should you require any further details please make contact with one of the committee members and to book your tee time please contact Willie Doyle on 087-2458662

Thanking you in anticipation of your support.

Yours Sincerely,

What an eventful week in the history of our Club after hosting a very successful Easter Peil camp and holding a "Your Mental Health is Your Wealth" night for all clubs and organisations across both East Cork and West Waterford.

Easter Peil Camp

Our inaugural Peil camp was held over 4 days with 59 girls attending. Current Cork U16 Ladies Football manager Charlie McLoughlin ran the camp putting the girls through 4 fun filled days of drills, skills and games. The theme of the week was developing proper football techniques and team spirit. “From an early age boys and girls need to be thought the techniques of football properly and that’s what we do”, said Camp Co-ordinator, Charlie McLoughlin. “Underage structures, at county and club are the future of our game and any opportunity we can give to young players to improve their game the better. “Clubs whose players attend camps benefit in turn and for those new to the game it puts them in the right direction in a friendly atmosphere”. Each girl also received a full kit as a momento of the week. With weary and tired limbs all the girls went home happy and with new tips and tricks (which were evident in subsequent games against Mayfield and Rock Bán). Comments received from the camp include, "Best camp ever", "What was good? No Boys", "We learnt new drills every day", "It was great to play with the U14s one 8 year was quoted!!". The club would like to thank all coaches, players and parents who assisted in running the camp and a special word of thank you must go out to our Chairpersom Catriona who had the vision to organise the camp.

Team Updates

Our juniors continued their league games against a strong Lisgoold team last Wednesday, though short a few regulars the girls never gave up and tried their best throughout the hour. Our U14s played top of the table Mayfield in Copperalley on a sunny Saturday afternoon in a tremendous game of football where after playing against the wind the Youghal girls in the 2nd half tore into a 2-5 to 0-1 half time deficit to leave it 2-5 to 1-4 with 5 minutes remaining only to conceed a goal which killed off the contest. Well done to all in what was a great battle and no doubt will stand to you come championship. Their last league game is against Lisgoold. Our U10s headed off to WhiteChurch just north of Cork City to play Rock Bán in their first league game on Sunday. In a very exciting game of football were both sides scored some brilliant scores and gave it their all, the sides were evenly matched going in at half with the homeside 1 pt ahead 1-2 to 1-1. On the resumption Rock Bán extended their lead with 2 goals but full credit to the Youghal girls who fought back to score 1-2 leaving the final score 3-2 to 2-3. Best for Youghal were Lesley Cashman, Kate Galvin and Caoimhe O'Mahoney. Next up is Erins Own at home. While the U10s were doing battle our U9s & 8s also played Rock Bán in which honours were shared and great fun was had by both teams. Our U12s continue their league campaign with an away trip to Bride Rovers on Wed 18th April @ 7pm.

Ted Tierney CEO of "Mental Health Ireland" delivered the main presentation of the evening “The Strength of Community in Challenging Times- Building Resilience Together”. Ted gave an overview of the night and howYoughal Ladies Football Club have pulled out all the stops in making thisevening happen. It is hoped that the Youghal Evening can be used across allclubs in the country in conjunction with LGFA.

The second half of the evening gave an insight into current trends across both Ireland and Europe on both alcohol and drug usage within the different age groups and also covered what local drug and alcohol services (YoughalCommunity Drugs Initiative) are available within the community.

To compliment this Diarmuid McGowan of the ASAP within the GAA discussedthe Alcohol Substance Abuse Policy which all units (GAA, Ladies Football, Camogie & Eochaill Óg) of the Youghal GAA club developed over the fewmonths. The Policy which had 3 drafts was most recently signed of by the SeniorExecutive last month. The main points of the policy are:

1.     U18 Medal ceremonies shall not be held in pubs

2.     Cigarettes shall not be sold in the clubhouse.

3.     Alcohol advertisements shall be phased out on club jerseys.

4.     The cup shall not be filled with alcohol during celebrations.

5.     Coaches and Club Officials shall  act in  responsiblemanner around alcohol while representing their club at matches

6.     Club members, officials, coaches and volunteers shall not presentthemselves at club activities while under the influence of any drug.

7.     Under 18’s shall not be brought to pubs on the way to or frommatches, outings or training sessions.

All persons associated with our club can help preventdrug-related harm from occurring during club activities.

The above policy and ASAP officer Peter Quealy were formally launched by Chairman of Youghal GAA Ger Motherway who also complimented chief organiser of the night Gordon Kinsley, secretary of the Ladies Football Club who over the past 5 months drove this excellent initative across all units of Youghal GAA. The evening finished with Chair of Youghal Ladies Football Club, Catriona Bulman-Hill thanking all presenters and all attendees for turning up.
