Lá na gClub was on Sunday May 10th 2009. It's the day on which every GAA club in the Country was asked by the national organisation to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the foundation of the association. In Ballycomoyle we turned it into "Deireadh Seachtaine" na gClub.
Friday Evening: We started with a club Mass in St. Feichin's church, Fore on Friday night. The mass celebrated by Fr. Michael Walsh was well attended by club members and supporters. Members of Ballycomoyle who participated in the mass were as follows. Readers: Marie Henry & Karen Coyle. Gift bearers: Bill Corrigan, Maureen Fay, James McHugh and Clodagh O'Neill. Prayers of the faithful: Ray Farrelly, Hilary Gaffney, Alice Murphy, Seán Lancaster and Caoimhe Dermody. St. Feichin's Church choir sang beautifully as usual. We adjourned to The Coffee Shop afterwards where we were well looked after by Jane O'Reilly and her staff for the evening.  
Saturday Evening: On Saturday evening in the home of Johnny and Odie Corrigan we had a reunion of some of the people who played or were associated with the team of 1953 who reached the junior championship final of that year. (See history pages). The group, who are pictured below, regaled us with stories of football in the 50s. A different era. Also present were the six individual chairmen of the club since it was reformed in 1985. Seán Dermody recorded as much of the proceedings as he could to video tape. Odie Corrigan along with Gerry Doyle of Castlepollard Filling Station provided us with hot food and all in all it was an exercise which was well worthwhile.
Sunday. Lá na gClub: On Sunday we were blessed with the weather. It was a day on which we needed sunshine and we got it in abundance. The programme for the day started at 1.30ish and consisted of games for every age group in the club from under 6s to over 40s. In addition to that we had music laid on with no less than four separate performers giving their time free for the day. We crowned off the day with a pig-roasting on site and a barbeque. Long before the music or football started (7.30am to be precise) the the pig-roasting crew of Paul Mooney and  Anthony Rogan were on site to light their fire and set up shop. They were followed very closely by a large and willing crew who I'm not going to attempt to name. I would surely leave someone out. There were tent erectors, flag-pole erectors, sound engineers, groundspeople and more. Everybody just arrived, saw what had to be done and did it. A few people deserve a special mention. The musicians who gave us their time, Liam Fagan, Noel O'Neill and Adrian Connolly. Greg McCabe was on hand if needed also. Eugene Gallagher provided the stage and Alan Nolan the amplification. Mrs Jackson gave us the use of her field for car parking. Fore Motorcycle racing club gave us the loan of their marquee. Dermot McLoughlin and Micksheen Farrelly oversaw the crew who erected it. To everyone else (I'm sorry not to be able to name you personally) thanks for the help. It all went to make this one of the most memorable days in the history of the club.
