West Offaly Lions News

So the new season is just around the corner and preperations are already well under way to insure the lions get off to as good a start as last season and hopefully go one step further and gain promotion. Training has been back in full swing now for the last couple of weeks under the new guidance of manager Geoff Kenny and the sessions have been tough but enjoyable numbers are reasonably good but are set to improve once the remaining fixtures in the GAA calender are played out with players from all the surrounding clubs still involved in the business end of fixtures, the awards night took place a few weeks ago in the Haggart in Gleesons Bar Ferbane and a very enjoyable night was had by every one there with Tomas Bennett, Danny Gleeson, Jeffery Cuskley and Ronan Guinan all recieving awards for their efforts throughout the year. There are a number of games fixed for the lions before the season starts and with every man fighting for his place it promises to be a tough and keenly contested season for the lions.
