Paddy Quinns team had a good win against St Brendan’s in Grangegormon last night. Fair play to both sets of players who played a good
competitive match in bad weather conditions. Paddy ans Davie Farrell and the players are working very hard to improve their position in the league. Up the parish.
All players are remined that from now all matches are on. Keep a eye on the weather and have your mobile on.
The under 21 hurlers lost their Leinster crown against a more hungrier Laoise. When you look at the circumstances over the last week it was probably not surprising that Laoise would cause a surprise.
Having been badly beaten in the senior championship by the Dubs there was always going to be a reply from this proud hurling county. Trow in a bit of cockiness from the Dublin players and the up set was always on the cards.
Problem now is a number of the senior squad will not be getting games they need at this level to make a break through to the senior panel. Good problem to have in some ways for Anto Daly as they will have to try harder in challenge matches or club games.
Hurling is a great game to bring you back to earth. Unless you play for Killkenny.
The club and its members wish Shane “Lacken ” Cummins all the best as he moves to the shores of America. We are sending him over to check out the holidays for 2015.
A great servant to the club over the years hopefully he will be back to ware the blue of the Barrs in the future.
Dublin Hurlers and footballers got off to a good start on the holiday weekend with two good performances.The hurlers were in good form against Laoise as Liam Rush had a very good game on the square on Saturday.
Dublin need scoring forwards and if they presit with him there he could be the answer. Changing him all over the pitch does not help him or Dublin. He is big and strong and a good eye for the ball.
St Pats made a big mistake in last years senior B final by not putting him in full forward. Troller did not get a run but his day will come and he will get his chance.
Great compititsion there for places and it is great to see him in the final panel fighting for a place. Dublin should be confidant against Killkenny in the Leinster semi fianl.It wil be a great match.
The footballers showed therir strenth and power against a well prepared Louth team. Just need to keep our feet on the ground. Great crowd at Croke Park considering all the events and weather which was on the weekend week end in the city.
Thanks to Seamus Mc Gratten and Thomas Gleason for taking on the programes this week for the club. Also to the other helpers who gave up their time and Dublin match to help the club.
The matches star with a football cup match in the Bogies for Paddy Quins footballers only against St Brendan’s on Thursday night. The senior hurlers travel out to Sliver park on Friday night which is a change of venue.
The third adult team play Sylvester’s out in Malihide on Sunday morning in the championship which we need a win . There will be a major announcement at the senior hurling match on Friday.
The club and its members send best wishes to Colm “The Salmon” Brown and Bart Mc Cabe who are serving over seas with the army in Lebanon. Make sure the both of you are keeping the eye in with the hurling.
The club and its members send best wishes on a good day to Nial and Grainne on their wedding day on Saturday.
Like all clubs the Barrs have to work harder to raise funds in these difficult economic times. If we all share the load it should be not problem for us. The annual christmas draw is now on sale. Tickets can be got at the Bar. The Grey hound night is booked for the Friday of the festival week. The Golf classic is set for the 24 August. The Lotto is ruin weekly.
