Well done to Roscommon Hurling today against Warwickshire they are now through to a National Final.  We have two representatives from the Club Cillian Egan and Georoid Egan well done lads.
 
LGFA
U12 Football is back Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm in The Hyde.  Our first game of the league was to be a home game on Sunday 25th of March against Faithleach’s but we have been informed that they are not going to be fielding an U12 team this year.

U14 Football training continues Tuesday evenings in Full Body Workhouse at 8.15pm €5 this is a combined training of both footballers and camogie players.  

U16’s were out against Strokestown on Saturday evening.  We just about had a panel of 15 girls.  The first half the girls were leading.  Nessa Madden is consistent in her full back position made some great breaks through the forwards, Sioda McGuinness goal saving showed what a great head she has at reading the ball.  Eva Beisty impressed and showed why she is on the county u16 panel to name but a few from this panel of girls.  This team like the juniors put far too many wide and should have narrowed the margin in the second half.  Final score Roscommon Gaels 0-4 Strokestown 2-3.
​

​Junior Ladies Football Tuesday evenings 8.15pm in the Hyde and Sunday Mornings 11am.  We went outdoor for the first time since we started on Tuesday evening great to see so many turning up.  We had our first game of the League today against St. Croans.  The girls put on a great display of football and showed great team spirit from start to finish.  

This amazing bunch of girls has come so far in such a short space of time.  We missed a lot of goal chances and put far too many wide but at least we know what we need to be working on.  The score did not reflect the game.  Final score St Croans 7-6 Roscommon Gaels 1-3.  Training continues Tuesday evening 8.15pm in the Hyde.  A huge welcome back to Bernie Ryan and Sarah Sharkey. Or junior team

GARDA E-VETTING STEP BY STEP GUIDE
1. The applicant clicks this Garda E-Vetting Application Form link, which opens an online form in another screen. This is to be filled out with as much information as possible, including all the sections marked with the red asterisk*
2. Towards the end of this first form you will be asked to verify your identity. There are two ways to do this:

2a. Fill out this Garda E-Vetting ID form and hand it to your Clubs Children’s Officer, with a copy of a photographic ID and a utility bill. The Club Children’s Officer holds on to this information until the applicant has been vetted, then this documentation must be securely destroyed or passed back to the applicant.

OR

2b. Show this documentation (photographic ID and a utility bill) to your Club Children’s Officer, then scan it in and attach it to the application as noted in the last point on the online form.
* Please note the acceptable forms of Identification are listed on the 2nd page of the ID form. You will see that each item has a score marked beside it; you must provide Identification up to a minimum score of 100 points.

3. When you complete the form and hit ‘Submit’ it will generate a reference number, you will then receive an email with a document similar to the Application Form, and this will contain all your details along with your application reference number. Your own Club Secretary will also receive an email at this time to inform them that you have applied for Vetting under that Clubs name.

4. The information you submitted will then be verified by the National GAA Garda Clerical Officer, who will in turn email you back one further and final online form to complete.  Please be advised that you must have access to the email address provided on the first form as this will be used for all correspondence to you from either the GAA or An Garda Siochana.

5. Applicants under the age of 18 and over the age of 16 will also have to fill out a Parental Consent Form – this will be required when filling out the final form (Link to Blank Sample).

6. Upon receipt of this final form the GAA Garda Vetting office will process your application. As noted above any replies or queries will be emailed ONLY to the address you submitted on the first form.

7. When your application is successful, your Garda Vetting Clearance letter will be emailed to both you and your Club Secretary. Your Club Secretary must contact your Club Children’s Officer and inform them of the decision. At this time the Club Children’s Officer must either return the ID documents or securely destroy them.

8. The club is planning an evening at the club when members unsure about the online process can be assisted by fellow club members to complete the forms.
