Comments Off Fr Bradley has invited CLG Bhriain Óig Baile Stíl to take part in a special Palm Sunday Mass to be held on Sunday, 1st April 2012 at 7.30pm at Our Lady of Lourdes, Steelstown. He would like as many members as possible to be at the church at 7.00pm in club colours. We will be taking part in the procession into the church.
It is a great honour to the Club to be asked to take part in this and it will go a long way to promoting the Club’s profile within the community and parish.
Please make the effort to be there.

Comments Off Hi All,
Our pitch maintenance contractor has given the okay to open our pitch for use again in a sensible and caring manner to help protect our most important asset.
What this entails is that we all work together to ensure that this does not mean a free for all, and we need to be really sensible in how we use the pitch going forward.
I would also like to sincerely thank those who have shown great patience and cooperated with us during the time of closure.
Many teams sought, and found alternative facilities for games and training and I think given the number of teams we have we should continue to use these alternative facilities to some degree.
The Mens Senior team and ladies Minor Team have asked to use the pitch for games this weekend (Men Sat and Girls Sunday). I believe we can allow this, however be aware that the pitch will not be lined out before next weekend. The first lining out of the year is a whole day event as it has to be measured out and then lined, it needs to be right first time. As this weekend is Patricks weekend the resources are just not available to get this done. Realistically weather permitting it will be Saturday March 24th before this will happen. For this weekend it should be sufficient to use the flags to mark pitch.
For the next few weeks the proposal is to restrict each team to one session on pitch, with no heavy drills to be conducted, these can be done on the training area which is not in that bad a condition.
To allow the pitch to recover all Challenge games must be played on pitches such as Templemore, Oakgrove, and Thornhill until 2nd April 2012
I would also ask that goalmouths are not used for training sessions, if teams want to have training games the portable goals can be used for this purpose thus protecting the new goalmouths.
This pitch belongs to us all and if used sensibly we will get a full years use without any more closures.
On another note I would like to point out that the changing rooms have been completely re-painted and any previous damage has been repaired, please respect the changing areas and clean them after use.
A lot of voluntary hours and a lot of hard raised money has been invested in bringing our facility back to the fantastic condition it is in now, please play your part in keeping it in this condition.
We will review things again in a few weeks time and communicate any changes that are deemed necessary.
I will list out below the main points of this brief and some other key areas of regulation that have to be followed.

Comments Off Our Brian Óg’s Community Steering Group is in the process of planning a photographic history project of our club, players and surrounding areas. The purpose of the history project is to get some of our photo history hanging in our Clubhouse. We also hope this will re-engage people who were involved through our 26 years in existence, but have since lost touch. We hope to get as many photographs donated of past teams, players, playing fields etc. The Club has come a long way and Brian Óg’s Community Steering Group feels this is a great way to record and to open contact again with past players and members, so we would warmly encourage everybody to get involved, and if you drop in your photograph in a sealed pre-printed envelope (available in Clubhouse) with your name and contact details, we will gladly copy and return, or please pick up a free CD in the same Pre-printed envelopes and return with your contact details. We are hopeful that we will have a great selection of photos and plan to have an exhibition within the Clubhouse, celebrating our history, so please get yourself and others involved, to record our history for all to see!

Comments Off Steelstown minor ladies kicked off their new season with a victory
over a courageous Faughanvale team on Sunday at Templemore. The opening
half was very tightly contested with the Faughanvale keeper making a
string of super saves that meant that Faughanvale went into the break 4
points up. The city girls came out with renewed energy in the second
half and got a couple of goals which set a precedent for the second
half as Steelstown run out eventual winners. As a lot of the girls in
blue and gold played well special mention has to go to Roisin Laverty
who was splendid in the first half, Aoife McKeever who saved two
penalties and Eimear O Doherty who bagged a couple of goals with her
powerful right boot. Well done girls next up is a very tough away game
at Ballinascreen. Can all players meet at the club on Sunday at 10am
sharp for bus and bring £3.
In Indoor training for our U12 and U14 girls teams continues on
Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 8:15 in St Brigids College. Bring £1:50
and a bottle of water. Training for our U16, minor and ladies senior

Can all girls bring £2 and a bottle of water. Outdoor training for all
U14, U12 and U10 girls this Saturday 25th February from 10 am to 11:
30am at the astro pitch at Leafair, bring £2 and a bottle of water.
Steelstown Brian Ogs are currently setting up a new U12 girls team for
