2009 is here and that means the season is not far around the corner. Pre-Season training has started and is every WEDNESDAY 6:30PM at Celtic so all new players, Seniors, Senior B's and Colts make an effort and get along as we all know that if you turn up now it makes it easier later on in the season.

The seniors will be coached by Shane Enright and Dave McCrea, with Wayne Ford and Murray Walsh taking up the managers roles again. The Killer B's will be coached by Geoff Rowe and Chicken with the Colts being taken by Paul Hurley. Any questions regarding playing/coaching contact our coaching coordinator Mark O'Grady on 0274 393 381.

Important dates to remember for 2009 are the annual Forceback which is on 7 March at the Showground again, so get your teams entered and when you fill out your entry forms remember to put Celtic as your affiliated team to help the club out.

Also this year in association with the Ashburton Boxing Club we are running a "Fight Night" to be held at the Clubrooms on 6 June. This will include 8 fights with registered boxers that will help them towards the national boxing tournament. So keep this night free for a night of entertainment.

The MCRU AGM is on Wednesday 25 February at 7:30pm at the Showground.

Any enquiries about any of the above contact Stefan Brook on 307 1072
