21/12/2023: The Kildysart GAA/LGFA Club would like to Sincerely Thank Everyone who has contributed to the Club in any way down through its history and onto present times.

- Our aim as a Club is the participation of our Youth and Adult Players in Gaelic Games, ensuring that they play and practice the game in an enjoyable, fun, and safe environment, while at the same time learning social and personal skills, Team building skills and the skills of Gaelic Football. Our Main Focus is always developing the individual player and developing our teams to their maximum ability and ensuring that all players are learning and enjoying the game.

- We will aim to keep on developing the grounds and put the Facilities in place for all Players, Coaches, Supporters, Members and the Community so that they can enjoy training and games in a safe and friendly environment.

- Our Club and Development Plan for the future will be about finding new ways to develop our Coaching & Games, Finance, Facilities, Administration, Communications and Culture/Lifestyle and put structures in place to help raise standards for our Players, Teams, Supporters, Members and the Community. Plans will be based on who we are, where we have come from and then crucially, where we want to get to.

It has been a progressive year to date both on and off the pitch. All our underage teams (U6 to U12) are learning the skills of the game and had a good and enjoyable year. Our Juvenile teams (U13 to Minor ) competed well in all competitions and are playing a higher standard of football in higher divisions. Our Adult teams had a good and progressive year and are competing well at all levels. - The Kildysart pitch re-opened in August this year and the quality of the pitch and works on and around the pitch has turned out great. Next year will see the pitch back in full use for all to play on.

We would like to thank all members both past and present who have contributed to the Kildysart GAA / LGFA Club throughout its history. The Hard Work, Dedication and Time Given by All these people, no matter how big or small, has made the Club what it is today.

To the Players of Teams who turn up for training and matches year in and year out we would like to say a big thank you. Without your dedication, perseverance, hard work and time, our Club would not be in the good position it is now, to progress into the future. In addition, we would like to thank all our players who are associated with Clare County development squads and Clare County Adult Teams for representing Kildysart GAA/LGFA Club at all age levels.

We are extremely grateful to all the Coaches of the Teams for all their time and hard work in coaching all our teams from Underage up to Adult ages. Thank you. Coaching is the key going forward for our Club and we welcome anyone interested in becoming a coach for 2024.

We would like to thank all Parents who bring their children to all the training and games throughout their young playing careers.

We would like to thank all the People, Executive and Officers in the club who contribute to the running of the Club. This is a big task and involves a lot of people who contribute to the day-to-day running of the club, including organising teams, coaches, membership, meetings, player welfare, pitch works, finance and fund-raising, the Race Night sellers and the Club Development Draw sellers.

A big Thank you to the Lotto personnel who organise and sell the lotto. This takes a lot of hard work and planning on a weekly basis, which runs for 52 weeks of the year.

Our sincere thanks to the Field Development Committee and all the Personnel who gave their time and helped out with all the work on the pitch over the last year. Big works were undertaken and without you, it would not have been possible. Also a Thank you to the Field Maintenance crew who keep the facilities in good working order each year.

Thank you to Coolmeen GAA, Executive, Coaches, Lotto personnel and other members for the use of their facilities over the last few years and for helping us out in any way they could, especially with our amalgamation at underage and juvenile boys level. We would like to thank St John Bosco’s Secondary School for the use of their School pitch for the last 2 years and also the Kildysart Soccer Club for facilitating us and helping us out with the pitch and the scheduling throughout this time. We would like to thank the Astro Turf committee for their help and use of the Astro Turf field.

We would like to thank the Clare County Board and Clarecastle GAA for the use of their facilities within the last 2 years.

We would like to thank our main sponsor, Castle Tile and Stone and our Local Businesses who sponsor the club and who contribute in sponsorship throughout the years.

Lastly, we would like to thank all the members of the club both at home and away, who support the Club in any way they can from supporting our teams and players to purchasing lotto tickets to membership and other ticket sales every year.

We welcome anyone interested in getting involved in the club in 2024. Without you all and the collective efforts by all, the running and workings of the Club would not be possible.

A Massive and Grateful Thank You to everyone.

The Kildysart GAA /LGFA Club would like to Wish You and all Your Family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2024.
