Lotto
Our club lotto remains suspended due to Covid-19. While this is a regrettable decision it is necessary to safeguard the health of our club officer’s lotto players and our many promoters. We will gradually be restarting activities over the next month in line with Government and GAA advice.
We thank all our promoters and supporters of the St. Pats Club Lotto and we look forward to your support again hopefully in the not too distant future.
Juveniles
Our Juveniles will be back training this week months after all activities were halted due to the ongoing pandemic. Before attending any training session, parent/guardian of juvenile players must complete and submit a health questionnaire which can be found via returntoplay.gaa.ie to their respective Covid supervisors

Please note that the CCC may and without the agreement of either team involved, change venue at short notice and play midweek games regardless of any ‘entitlements’ to home venue or weekend games.
Club Membership Registration for 2020
With training starting properly for majority of the teams, it is very vital that membership for 2020 be renewed. If you are yet to register, please do so without delay via the club website www.stpatsgaaclub.com. To facilitate payment of membership subscriptions we have provided the facility to pay by two monthly instalments. Please note that the Club cannot automatically renew individual membership and particularly in the case of under-18 members the application has to be approved by a parent or guardian.
