Dear friends, A new season has started in the Inishowen Football League. This year again we have two teams entered, Clonmany Youths and Clonmany Shamrocks.

The Youths, we are happy to say, are improving and are expected to do quite well, while the Shamrocks are still a force to be reckoned with.

The club now has acquired insurance for players. All concerned consider insurance very important and see this as a great step forward.

The Inishowen Football League hope to get affiliated to the League of Ireland and this should open up many advantages to players.

The club hopes to run a competition for the youngsters this year again as the one last year was a great success.

Once again we would like to thank everyone who helped us out over the years and hope we can have your continued support.

Finally, we would like to say that anyone interested in joining the club will be very welcome.

Yours in Sport,
Clonmany Shamrocks
