This is the time of year when all clubs come together with their championship entries.
Draws are made and then it’s down to action and fortunately there is no shortage of clubs willing to accommodate the needs of the sport.
Tullysaran will be the hosts for the All-Ireland finals this year and next and thanks to sponsor Philip White Tyres as the championships are about to start. The Association’s AGM will be held on January 23 at 8.30pm in the Charlemont Hotel and all clubs should be present
