Pitch: Our main pitch remains closed for repairs and essential maintenance. We ask that everyone stays off the main pitch until further notice and we appreciate the co-operation of all club members.
Coaching: We are asking new coaches to get involved at juvenile level, particularly with our U-11s and also on Saturday mornings, which is set to resume in March/April. This is the perfect place to start coaching and now is an ideal time of year to begin to learn/upskill. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Pádraig Callan on 087 2543511 or callanpadraig@yahoo.ie. Monaghan GAA Coaching and Games have organised another series of Coach Development Workshops for the next few weeks. See the Monaghan GAA website and social media for more details.
Colleges: Good luck to all Harps players currently competing in third-level and Ulster Schools' competitions. Hard luck to Daragh Croarkin and James Curley, who lost out in the latter stages of third-level competitions recently.
