BALLYMARTIN: The club will be launching a competition through the local schools to name a new hurling club in the Mournes region. Although it is to be officially registered under An Ríocht, the hurling amalgamation will be known as a separate name to represent all areas and all Mourne clubs.

Primary school children will be asked to propose a name and detail the meaning of their chosen name. 

The 'Ireland Lights Up' walking initiative via Operation Transformation has concluded, but the club will have the floodlights turned on most nights as all teams are back training, to provide a safe, friendly, and well-lit place for members to get some exercise.
