Congratulations to the management and players of our talented under 15 football team who won their Shield by the minimum margin after a great game against a talented Erin’s Isle side. This was a superb performance in front of a big home crowd on Sunday morning.

Well done to our Ladies football Féile team who despite being drawn in a very tough group performed heroically on Saturday. Thank you to the mentors and players for your great effort.

Our junior hurlers made it 3 championship wins on the trot and are now almost certain to reach the quarter finals.

Our senior camogie team preserved their league status with a well-deserved win over Castleknock. The recently formed junior side drew with St. Jude’s.

We send our best wishes to the Dubs as they commence their campaign on Saturday for a historic 5 in a row. We also remember that great Dub Anton O’Toole who went to his eternal reward during the last week. May Anton’s Soul be forever at Peace.
