Retirement of Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh

Friday, September 17th, 2010

The Barrs of Cabra wish Micheal Ó Muircheartaigh all the best on his retirement. The Ó Muircheartaigh moment that our club members have been talking about over the last two days is the match between Tipparary and Galway.

Pat Fox got the ball and Joe Rabbit went in chase of him. Micheal’s take on this was,

“You never seen a Rabbit chase a Fox, well here in Croke Park its happening before my eyes.”

Go raibh milie maith agat o na phobal as Cabrach Baile Ath Claith.

We also want to thank Micheal on his support for the club in the promotion of our native languish in th Cabra area through the Gaelschoil Bharra which the club founded. ‘Slainte agus Saol chugat.’

Juvenile Results

Monday, September 13th, 2010

The U8′s travelled out to Man of War and got a very friendly welcome. The pitch is situated in a lovely part of north Dublin.

It is up on a height which you wouldn’t think existed in this part of the country. The view takes in Ireland’s eye, Howth head, the Dublin Mountains and a view of the city which is outstanding.

We had four great games and all the children had a great time. The U14 team were beaten by 5 points but there was alot of disatisfaction with the referee in Commercial. The team are still on top of the league and hopefully they will keep the progress going.

The U13′s also had a problem with the whistler out in Erins Isle. They went down by a point with some very bad decisions going against them. Our U12 team had a good win while our U11′s enjoyed themselves in Garristown.

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

The junior footballers lined out at home against Kilmacud Crokes in Adult League 7 today. The Barrs played very well and ran out winners 4-14 to 0-09.

The team are now in with a shout for a promotion play off, well done to all the lads as the hard work over the winter in pre-season training has really paid off!!

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

The U8′s travel out to Man of War this morning. There will be a double header in the Bogies in the morning with the minor hurlers playing Kevin’s in the championship and the junior footballers playing in the league.

The comogie team have a friendly with a team from Galway which is yet to be confirmed. There seems to be a lact of commitment by the senior comogie team as the attendance at training has been really bad over the last number of weeks. Lets get the act together girls!!

The U11′s travel out to Garristown as well as the U12′s. The U14′s have a trip to Rathcool against Commercials and the under 13′s play Erins Isle in Finglas in a top of the table clash.

Football Championship Report

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

On a damp wet night out in the north county the Barrs finished their 2010 championship run. A good sized crowd turned up in St Margaret’s GAA Club as St. Olafs and the Barrs locked themselves into a titanic struggle to reach the quarter finals the following Saturday.

St. Olafs went in at half time in front as they hit two goals in the last minute of the half to lead on a score line of 2-4 to1-5. At the end of normal time both teams were tied on the score of 1-10 to 2-7. The Barrs let in a soft goal in the first period of extra time but fought back hard to draw level with a few minutes to go, but unfortunately St. Olafs got a point to run out winners. (more…)

Senior Hurlers
On a warm Saturday evening in the Bogies our senior hurlers played a draw against a well coached St. Vincents team. In front of a big crowd this game went to the wire with the Barrs coming back from the dead in injury time to go a point ahead.

On the last puck of the game St Vincents equalised. The club will have to look at installing video cameras in the goal areas as a number of goals and points decisions went against the team at vital times. It was a very good hurling game from both teams with great scores from both sets of forwards. (more…)

Weekend Results

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

On Friday night our minor hurlers lost a friendly against O’Tooles by a goal. Our U12 hurlers drew in the final of the Leinster competition against Bray Emmets in a great game of hurling.

Tonight our inter footballers exited the championship with a very disappointing display against Ballyboughal. The final score was 2-12 to 0-06 points. The club would like to thank our supporters who travelled to Skerries for the game.

Our junior hurling team travelled to Na Fianna for a friendly match today. In a well contested match, Na Fianna ran out winners on a score line of 2- 11 to 1-09. There were good performances from Keith Byrne and Colm Brown.
