Youth club was a great success on Friday night with the kids from the first group making "spider catchers" which were very popular. They then watched a puppet show. The evening was topped off by a visit from the junior scor competitors who entertained the kids with their amazing performances.
This week the kids from the older group have their youth club session from 7pm until 8.30pm. The girls will have a relaxing "pamper night" while the boys will have a "FIFA 16" tournament.
Our Senior team completed this year's league and championship season unbeaten after the final league victory on Sunday afternoon away to Aughlisnafin with a the final score Aughlisnafin 1.06  Glasdrumman 3.09. Whether this a County record of some sort I'll leave to the statisticians to find out. It's certainly a first for us and it's down to the hard work, determination, commitment and leadership  shown both on and off the field of play that has helped us achieve this. We now need to keep it going as our first journey into the Ulster CHampionship begins on Sunday 1st November in Pairc Esler against Antrim champions Michael Davitt's. Good luck to all and let's see all the colour and hear all the noise from Glasdrumman fill the park on that day . Glasdromain Abu
