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.

Last Sunday St Kevin’s travelled to the Bogies with high hopes of securing two points in this group of the Minor Hurling Championship. On a sunny morning in Cabra the Barrs were looking forward to the challenge and after ten minutes went three points ahead.
All changed in the next ten minutes with St Kevin’s hitting two soft goals to go in front. It was a lead that they never relinquished until the last ten minutes of the game when the Barrs scored two goals.
The winning and losing of this game centred around discipline and the Barrs came out on top in that department. Having lost one of their top players with 12 minutes left, St Kevin’s lost their way even though they fought back to within a point in the seventh minute of extra time.
The first half was very scrappy with frees been the main vehicle for scoring. Troller had a blinder with some great scores and a man of the match performance. The Barrs showed their traditional strength of keeping going until the end with a strong team performance. Both teams gave it their best shot and the game was played in a very sporting manner.

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.

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.

A big thanks to the O’Neill and Kirby Families for a great day out in Trim. Everything was brilliant and best wishes to Mark and Angie for their future together.
Our Senior hurlers missed out on promotion by a single point as they failed to beat St. Pats of Palmerstown last Wednesday night in a high scoring game. Having come back from a 8 points lead twice, the team lacked the killer punch to go on and win the game.
