1988

The Annual General Meeting was held for the third time in Creggan Community Centre, on Sunday 24th January 1988. This was a significant date in that this would be the last AGM outside out own premises.

The Committee elected was:

President: Rev Fr Seamus Shields PP
Chairman: Francis Bradley
Vice-Chairman: Peter Tracey
Secretary: Sean Clarke
Assistant Secretary: Colum Devln
Treasurer: Eugene McKenna
Assistant Treasurer: Frankie Clarke
Committee: Gerard Coyle, Gerard Kirk, Eugene McCullagh, Frank Ward and Pat Clarke.

The new field was almost ready to play on and the dressing rooms and Centre were almost ready. It was hoped to have the Official Opening on the 8th May, but in the event it was not possible to have our opening that day and instead the "Big Day" was postponed until the 24th July 1988.

On the playing field, 1988 began in a very similar manner to previous years and it soon became evident that league success would be very difficult to achieve so the efforts of the team were now channelled towards the Championship. That saw a first round clash with Brackaville at Omagh on the 3rd July. However defeat was the lot on a scoreline of 3-09 to 0-07, when once again the scoreline was not a true reflection of the game as not for the first time very mistake made by Greencastle was punished to the full.
