										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="md-block-unstyled">Dear Members &amp; Friends</p>
<p class="md-block-unstyled">Following a discussion with the Club Executive Committee, a decision has been made regarding the re-opening of parking facilities within Bremore park. As you are aware our club has grown from strength to strength over the last number of years and we have ever-growing numbers in our Juvenile sections.</p>
<p class="md-block-unstyled">With this in mind, the Club Executive has made the decision that effective from 17th September</p>
<ul class="md-block-unordered-list-item">
<li>No parking is permitted in the Club on Saturday until 1 pm &#8211; this is in order to facilitate the safe entry and exit access to the Club for OgDwyers Nursery and younger teams</li>
<li>No parking will be permitted in the parking spots at the front of the club area &#8211; Parking is only available behind the Cardy Rock goal or on the training strip &#8211; Remedial work will be conducted in the coming weeks</li>
</ul>
<p class="md-block-unstyled">The decision is made to ensure that we have a safe club taking into consideration the potential risks and Health &amp; Safety.</p>
<p>Further information club car parking is available here: <a href="https://odwyersgaa.com/parking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://odwyersgaa.com/parking/</a></p>
<p class="md-block-unstyled">I would like to thank all members and friends for their cooperation with this matter.</p>
<p class="md-block-unstyled">Yours in Sport</p>

<p>We are making contact with current and previous participants of our teams and camps within O&#8217;Dwyers GAA club.</p>
<p>We would like to welcome you and your child(ren) to Juvenile section which takes place on our club every Saturday morning between 9.30am &#8211; 10.30am (ages 4-7) and 10.30am &#8211; 12.00pm (ages 8-10)</p>
<p>As we are within Level 5 of Government restrictions we are operating the sessions in full compliance of both GAA and HSE guidelines and recommendations.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>O’Dwyer’s outclassed St Monica’s when running out deserving 0-17 to 1-6 victors in Saturday’s Dublin Junior 1 FC final at Parnell Park.</p>
<p>The Balbriggan side played a very clever, enterprising game with the supremacy of their middle third giving them a dominant platform against their Edenmore opponents.</p>
<p>At midfield Jude O’Sullivan and Jamie Andrews provided a constant supply of possession while in attack Aaron Keenan, Jamie Andrews, Liam Prout and Daniel Doherty combined to telling effect with their half-back line of Dylan Foster, Jamie Keenan and Stephen Crawley attacking with potency to support their forward unit.</p>
<p>By half-time O’Dwyer’s led 0-12 to 0-3 with all Monica’s scores coming from Patrick Leonard frees. The Edenmore club did enjoy good passages of play but their shooting was not of its usual standard as they hit four wides insides the opening 15 minutes, compared to a sole wide by their opponents.</p>
<p>Some of O’Dwyer’s score taking was of a very high calibre as they put clear distance between the sides – after a semi-final victory over Geraldine Morans they were determined to finish off the job and they did that in style at the Donnycarney venue.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="O&#039;Dwyers manager Sean Keenan speaks to DubsTV after Junior 1 Football Final victory" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MnCbWYpbciY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>A productive spell in the opening half during which they hit seven unanswered points was central to their victory as their pace, accuracy and movement had Monica’s struggling to establish a foothold.</p>
<p>In the eight-minute Aaron Keenan fired over following good work by Ciarán Gaye from a well-directed Lee Fanning kick out – it was a signal of early intent.</p>
<p>Points followed from Aaron Keenan, Jamie Andrews and Liam Prout (free) as O’Dwyer’s move 0-5 to 0-1 clear by the water break as they made ground with Monica’s reduced to 14 men following the black-carding of Keith Dempsey.</p>
<p>The Balbriggan side continued to hold the upper hand with Jamie Andrews illustrating how clued into the zone his side were with a well-timed intercept and score after playing a quick one-two with full-forward Liam Prout.</p>
<p>The scores continued to flow and by the interval they were in possession of a commanding 0-12 to 0-3 lead. Early in the second period two Ciarán Gaye points moved O&#8217;Dwyer&#8217;s ten points clear, 0-14 to 0-4, after Monica&#8217;s Philly Kelly had opened the second-half scoring.</p>
<p>Just before the second half water break O’Dwyer’s looked sure to goal but Aaron Keenan’s shot clipped the outside of the post with Daniel Doherty unmarked in front of goal.</p>
<p>Then Aaron Keenan had an overhead flicked goal attempt come back of the post before Daniel Doherty had his goal attempt smothered and the ball was scrambled away to safety.</p>
<p>Monica’s though battled to the finish getting positive contributions off the bench.</p>
<p>Cian Doran struck a fine goal in the 26<sup>th</sup> minute following a good run from Karl Power but it was much too late as O’Dwyer’s ran out convincing eight-point winners.</p>
<p><strong>SCORERS – O’Dwyer’s:</strong> A Keenan 0-5, L Prout 0-3 (0-3f), J O’Sullivan, J Andrews, D Doherty, C Gaye 0-2 each, D Andrews 0-1. <strong>St Monica’s:</strong> P Leonard 0-4 (0-3f), C Doran 1-1, P Kelly 0-1.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #339966;"><b>New Club App: ClubZap</b></span></h4>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">With our club approaching 1000 members and nearly 50 teams, we have a requirement for a more efficient way of managing a modern-day club of our size. Following a review of a number of tools that are available in the marketplace that facilitated this, we are pleased to announce a new partnership with Irish Company ClubZap</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://odwyersgaa.com/clubzap/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://odwyersgaa.com/clubzap/</span></a></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ClubZap is a mobile communications and payment platform for sports clubs to engage with their local community and deliver news, notifications, fixtures, results, lotto, membership, merchandising, GDPR (more features to follow) right to your phone. It also removes the need for noisy non GAA compliant WhatsApp groups and all club communication including nursery-adult team communication will be via the ClubZap app.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We would ask you all to please download the app (2 minutes), there is no cost to you and in there you will find loads of information to keep updated on all things O’Dwyers related.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">See our dedicated webpage for instructions and further information: </span><a href="https://odwyersgaa.com/clubzap/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://odwyersgaa.com/clubzap/</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Return to play: Covid Officer Update</b></span></h4>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It has been a very busy couple of weeks since our return to play. I wanted to provide you with an overview of the steps that our club has put in place with GAA, LGFA and Camogie associations to ensure a secure environment for all.</span></p>
<ol style="font-weight: 400;">
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every member and player has completed a mandatory e-learning module</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prior to Club participation, every member provided an update Health Questionnaire and this is ongoing for every session</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each club team has an appointed Covid Supervisor in place to ensure adherence to Club health policies</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Track &amp; Trace adherence for every player is in place</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">HSE &amp; GAA facility recommendations are fully adhered too</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have sanitisation points at the main pitches </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A medical isolation room in-place </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shared and team equipment is sanitised after each session</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduced training period &amp; team pod isolation in place via One Way systems in the club</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adult teams are temporarily training on Bells pitches only  </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Social distancing and Good personal Hygiene guidelines are regularly communicated and adhered too.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regular communication process with Covid Supervisors on Team mentors on changes in policies</span></li>
</ol>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have followed all the GAA protocols and are adhering to the latest updates, GAA commentary is that it is 19 times more unlikely that you will contract COVID while playing sports and outdoors as it is to be in an enclosed space. </span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So as long as we all continue to work together, we will keep everyone Safe while enjoying our sports</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><span style="color: #339966;"><b>Player Membership</b></span></h4>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have conducted a membership review for the 2020 season and the paid membership levels are extremely low versus what we expect. The club appreciates that there was a significant interruption to our season. However, the majority of our teams are now back training and competitive games coming up. </span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We as a club need to ensure that every player and active members have paid their membership in full to ensure that they can play/train and are covered by insurance to play.  All payment options will remain in place for the full year to facilitate part payments and membership can be paid online via Club website or in the Club on Sat morning between 11 and 1</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Further details available on our website membership page:</span><a href="https://odwyersgaa.com/membership/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">https://odwyersgaa.com/membership/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or contact our Club Registrar Antionette on 089 4709815</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4 style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: #339966;"><b>New Development Update</b></span></h4>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As per our previous update regarding the development, we would like to provide a further status on the progress of our new club development. There are a number of separate processes closed and still in motion at the moment, see below the current status of the milestones.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔ Peer review of project, design, and costings signed off by GAA representatives.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔ The project has been agreed with our partners and the project signed off by the GAA Central council</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔ Full planning is in place</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔ The overall sales and purchase agreement contracts have been agreed &amp; Signed with our Partners in Fingal County Council (FCC)</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">✔ Our preferred Builder has been selected and he is still committed to the timelines set out and agreed with the Development Team</span></p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are awaiting a final tax clearance document from the Tax office</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Upon receipt of this clearance, secured grants will be drawn down and moved to the new development.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Site works can proceed to commence upon finalisation of Grant reallocation</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is important for members to understand that the last steps are in progress and have been in progress for the last 30 days and are being held up due to the current COVID – 19 limitations.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As soon as these final steps are completed a follow-up meeting will be called to share with members the timelines of the revised project and the status of the financials and impact on the project deliverables. Our expectation is that this will take place in the coming weeks.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Bremore Regional Park Development</b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Separately, Fingal County Council has been progressing a park development and design plan to guide the future development of Bremore Regional Park, Balbriggan, North County Dublin.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fingal County Council and design partners have shared with us their initial design and proposed plans for the Sports Hub (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">this is excluding the already committed to GAA pitch within the park</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although this is a separate process from our own club development process we are key stakeholders in Bremore Regional park and we have participated fully in the design process of the use of the park to date.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are continuing to work with our partner Fingal County Council on this proposal and as soon as we receive confirmation of the decision we will communicate the same to all members.</span></p>
