Russell Rovers Juvenile Club
The Juvenile AGM was held on Friday 16th January, in St Colman’s Boxing Club in Shanagarr,y surrounded by years of boxing memorabilia. The Secretary, Ger Walsh, went through his comprehensive report for 2008, in which the overall concensus was that 2008 was a very successful year for the Rovers on and off the pitch.
This was followed by the Chairman, Seamus Kennefick’s report on the year just gone, where he thanked all the coaches, players and parents for their effort on and off the pitch, and asked for a renewed effort for the coming year with Russell Rovers seeking to reach even higher levels. The Treasurer, Paul Ruddy’s report was delivered and Paul answered any questions that were asked about the finances. Paul after giving three years service to the position stepped down. He has worked tirelessly for the Rovers, Paul has become a committee member and was thanked for all his work by the Chairman. A welcome to Adrian Quill who has stepped on board as Treasurer and John Maher as Pro of the Juvenile Club for the next year. Thanks to Des Gilsenan, outgoing PRO, for his work and commitment to the Rovers over the last number of years.

ST COLMANS AMATEUR BOXING CLUB - - SHANAGARRY
It has been a very busy and successful time for the St. Colmans
We held our 25th Annual Boxing Tournament in The Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal on Friday the 6th of February 2009.
There was a huge crowd in attendance to witness some very exciting contests. Local lads Chris Ruddy, Aidan Beausang, Aaron Beausang and Tom Mc Grath were in action where they did themselves proud by putting on a great display of boxing. Well done lads.
Also in action on the night were Timmy Murrays underage warriors who also put on a great show. The future looks bright after seeing these young boys and girls in action.
The County Championships took place last week where Aaron Beausang, Kyle Kennefick. Stephen Power. Adam Curley, Jake K , Adam Hickey and Barry Walsh all won county Titles.
