Erris United Football Cub

Erris United FC Youths registration evening will be held again on Friday 20th March from 6pm until 7 30pm, parent and child must attend. New youths must bring their birth cert.

 

Erris United FC/Iorras Aontaithe wishes to congratulate Rose Conway Walsh on making political history in securing a Dail seat for the Mayo constituency & Erris for Sinn Fein in Election 2020.

Rose is bridging a gap of 51 years since an Erris TD was elected; Joe Leneghan from Belmullet was a Dail member back in the 60’s and 70’s. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann as an independent Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo North constituency at the 1961 general election. He lost his seat at the 1965 general election but was subsequently nominated by the Taoiseach to the 11th Seanad. He was elected as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Mayo West constituency at the 1969 general election. He lost his seat at the 1973 General Election. Our new TD and our last TD may be different genders and belong to different Political Parties but they were both born in Ballycroy
Congratulation also to Micheal Ring (FG) & Dara Calleary (FF) on retaining their Dail seats and to Alan Dillon (FG) securing his first seat which was held by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny

ERRIS UNITED AGM

The club Annual General Meeting was held recently in the Broadhaven Bay Hotel (25th January) and outgoing Chairman Micheal Dixon reflected on a mixed year both on and off the playing field. He thanked all the Committee and club Officers for their support, the team Managers/Coaches for their commitment and all the parents.  He thanked all the Club Sponsors and the public for supporting the Club’s fundraising efforts over the year and all who helping with the running of the Club off the field over the year. He congratulated Harry Reilly on his Mayo League award, justly deserved for all his hard work and commitment over the years. The club youths were unlucky not to pick up silver wear over the year, U13/U18.Thanks to Eamonn & Ivan for their senior team efforts who began on a positive run but questionable attitudes will need to be addressed for the coming season. Thanks to the C.E. workers for the efforts in keeping Carne Nash Park looking good. The finances at the Club are in a very healthy state thanks in no small part to prudent and watchful management by outgoing Treasurer David Reilly.  The outgoing Chairman announced at the end of his address he was not going forward for reelection as Chairman after serving eight years.
