Club Notes. Ellistown has captured its first ever hurling trophy. Click here for details The annual Christmas party was held on Sunday December 6th in the clubhouse. This was both a celebration of the season and a presentation ceremony, crowning perhaps the best ever season in the club's history at juvenile level. The club won trophies at Under10, 11, 12 and 14 by the boys/mixed teams and at Under 12 and 16 by the girls. The girls were also runners up at Under 14 and Under 11 though were not in fact beaten in the Under 11 final. Sporting politics and sportsmanship were the losers in this case. We're proud of the girls and they are certainly champions in our eyes. Click here for photos. The Annual Ned Kemmy tournament was held on Sunday October 4th in Ellistown GFC .
