GAA Gathering

The recent GAA gathering event for St.Josephs Miltown proved to be a resounding success with a large crowd turning out at both the Clare v Galway game at Hennessy Park and the subsequent Social Gathering at the Community Centre. The event proved to be a great attraction for former players, mentors and officials of the club who returned from all over Ireland, the UK and the USA.

A great night of music and memories was had by all, as old friends and teamates were reunited, games relived and stories told.

The highlight of the night was the launch of a book written and edited by local man John Reidy who has been involved in Miltown GAA all his life.  "A Story of St.Joseph's GAA Club” chronicles in great detail the history of the club from its foundation to the present day and covers all the great victories for the club at both adult and juvenile level over the years. This extensively researched and well written book will surely become a great source of pleasure and the main reference point for anyone interested in the history of football in Clare for years to come.

Copies of the book are still available from the club. Anyone interested in getting their hands on a copy should contact John on (087) 2333621
