📝 Jonathan Feighery Appointed New Club Secretary
I am delighted to welcome
Jonathan Feighery
as our new Club Secretary replacing "the irreplaceable"
John Cannon. JF brings great energy and organisation to the role, and I’m confident this appointment will help strengthen the running of the club. Thank you to everyone who supported a smooth handover.
🙏 A Sincere Thank You
I’d like to personally thank all outgoing volunteers and coaches for their effort and support for the club over the past season. A special shout out to
Johnny
Johnston and
Andy McNulty for their commitment, passion, and contribution to Templeogue United over the past few years. Their hard work and dedication have made a lasting impact on players and fellow coaches alike, and they leave with our very best wishes for the future. I have not given up hope of getting them back involved in some capacity as soon as possible.
👧 Growth of the Girls’ Section
Our
girls’ section continues to thrive, with record participation and multiple teams competing across a range of age groups. It’s fantastic to see the enthusiasm and teamwork within this side of the club. For the first time in 16 years we have a girls under-12 Premier Team, who have made an unbeaten start to the season. A huge thank you to our volunteer coaches, coordinators, and parents for driving this growth — you are inspiring the next generation of players.
