The Club Support Programme
St Michaels have been selected to be one of four clubs in Roscommon to avail of a relatively new scheme, “The Club support programme”.
The programme endeavours, with the support of the county board, to build up very strong coaching systems throughout the club, with a view to being self sufficient up to and including adult level.

The County board will facilitate and support St Michaels throughout the year, in numerous ways. This CB support plan as well as our internal plan will be explored in a workshop with county board representatives, in St Michael’ s on the 11th March 7:30 to 9:30. It is really important we have as many there to contribute and be part of the overall coaching initiative.
It will be an invaluable opportunity for all stakeholders (officers, coaches, players, parents, supporters) to give their feedback and input into the future direction and development of the club.    -  Your chance to make a difference!

Minor Team
Our minor team, sponsored by Ardcarne Garden Centre, finally got their Division 2 league campaign underway when they travelled to Enfield on Sunday morning to play a strong Oran St Croan's combination.
Aided by a strong breeze, the home side were on the front foot for most of the 1st half and kicked many fine points from distance. Our boys worked hard to stay in touch and got some reward with a goal before half time following a fine team move which spanned the length of the pitch.

Trailing by 5 points at the break, the Ardcarne lads spent most of the 3rd quarter in their opponent's half but resilient home defence and some inaccurate shooting prevented us from getting back on level terms.
The home side stretched their lead in the closing minutes with a goal and a number of points to end up convincing winners on a 2-12 to 1-5 scoreline.


Sympathy
The Club wish to extend their sympathies on the untimely passing of referee Morgan Keena and to the Coughlan family, Corrigeenroe; former players, John, Brendan and Christopher Coughlan, on the death of their father, Christy.

Last Man Standing
Round 5 concluded today Sunday with; Everton v Man Utd draw and a Wolves win over Tottenham.
We had 163 entrants unsuccessful in Round 4, leaving us with 7 entrants progressing to Round 5.
Round 5 commences on Saturday 7th March 12:30pm.
