The last week was a disappointing week on the field with a number of poor results for our adult teams. Our juvenile teams are on a short mid-season break until August, so it was left to the adult teams to fly the flag. Last Tuesday night, in front of a big crowd in the bogies, our junior 6 footballers were narrowly beaten by Judes. We played some good football throughout the game but took our foot off the gas in the last 10 mins to allow Judes nick the points with a late goal. We deserved more form this game, but the result leaves us with work to do over the next few weeks to maintain our status in this division.
On Thursday it was the turn of our minor hurlers to play a strong Na Fianna side in the bogies in our final league game in division 1 of the league. In a game of real quality, again we were unlucky to loose out by 2 points despite a good performance. We have been unlucky on a couple of occasions during this league campaign, but have shown we are more than capable of competing at the top level.
A similar story on Friday night for the junior footballers who were again unlucky to miss out in their league game out in Skerries. It is never an easy place to get a result at any level and it proved just beyond our lads on this occasion. On Saturday evening in the bogies, it was the turn of our Inter footballers to continue their push for promotion against an in-form Naomh Olaf side. Olaf’s started this game off at a lighting pace and had 3 goals registered before we knew what hit us. We did fight our way back into the game, primarily by getting on top around the middle of the field, but were unable to make this tell on the scoreboard. For the second Intermediate game in the row, we suffered some serious injuries, and would like to wish all the lads a speedy recovery.
There was no games on Sunday due to the earlier than normal start to the Leinster Football Final. It was great to see Dublin record the Leinster double, their 1st since 1942. The club would like to thank all our members who were selling programmes in Croke Park for all the Leinster Championship matches this year.
