Scotstown Lads Movember fundraising campaign for Pieta House
Well done to those senior men blues involved in the Movember fundraising campaign for Pieta House. Their aim is to raise as much as possible for Pieta House. Pieta's vision is a world where suicide, self-harm and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care and acceptance. By supporting Pieta, you will allow them to strive to make this a reality. Without everyone's support, Pieta would not have been able to give hope to over 50,000 people since they first opened their doors in 2006. All of their services (one-to-one counselling, 24 hour helpline, SBLO Service, Training and Education) are provided free of charge. They are supported mainly by fundraising and voluntary contributions. The lads would appreciate any support and sponsorship you can provide towards this great cause. Please donate what you can.

Our Condolences It is with deep sadness that we learnt of the passing of Eddie McKenna (Hughie). We would like to offer our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to his son Dara (Emer) and daughter Grainne (Barry Mc Namee); his much-loved grandchildren, Sheenagh, Caolán, Aoife, Aoibheann, Niall and Darren; his brothers, sisters, bothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, his nephews, nieces, relatives, friends, neighbours and all who knew and loved him. Eddie was a lifelong supporter of our club and a distinguished community person, who was actively involved in the current redevelopment of St. Mary’s Hall Urbleshanny, where he was chairman of the committee. Last month, Eddie was safely taxiing patrons from the Scotstown complex after the Ulster final night celebrations, a recent example of the immense community work Eddie devoted, and he will be greatly missed by everyone in the community and beyond. May Eddie’s gentle soul Rest In Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
